Business ideas in the field of trade
Starting a business in the field of trade is an excellent option for every city. You can implement almost anything, anywhere. If a startup person lives within the city, it’s a great idea to launch a retail outlet that sells cheap clothes. If you have investment capital, you can invest in an offline store, the most promising location solution for which will be a residential area. As practice shows, when getting from work, not everyone passes by supermarkets, which is a prerequisite for a constant stream of income.
“Skirt” and rear fairing to save fuel
Fuel Saving Fairing
Systematic changes in fuel costs are forcing drivers and transport organizations to think seriously about how to reduce fuel consumption and what ideas are available for this. For this reason, one of the instantly profitable options is to install specialized fairings on semi-trailers, which are popularly called side “skirts”.
The profile base fairing (skirt) is a specialized panel that is fixed at the bottom of the semi-trailer. Such a screen effectively protects the semi-trailer from turbulence under the bottom and squalls of side winds. In the rain, profile fairings significantly reduce the splashing of water from under the wheels, which reduces visibility for drivers of passenger cars.
Construction store from scratch
Construction store from scratch
The economic situation has a significant impact on the sale of building materials. At the same time, the demand for such a product can be considered constant, which is a guarantee of the stable functioning of such a business. However, there are a few important points to consider first. After all, there are many possibilities for implementing the idea.
Selecting a trading type
First you need to decide on the type of trading. It can be wholesale, retail or combined. Most organizations choose the latter option. It allows you to significantly increase the circle of potential buyers - from ordinary citizens to construction companies.
In addition, the outlet can be located in a market, open area, self-service store, etc. There are many ways to do business. Therefore, you first need to determine the type of leads, and then the type of store.
Construction store placement
The main thing to remember here is that the products have a lot of weight and dimensions.
Therefore, it is necessary to efficiently organize the supply system, provide convenient access roads and parking lots. You should also know that the store requires a large warehouse. Therefore, the proposed premises must satisfy such conditions. There is no need to invest huge amounts of money in renovating your store. After all, the products offered look good against the background of white walls. The main thing is to ensure the cleanliness of the room.
In addition, it is worth taking care to ensure reliable ventilation and high-quality lighting. You also need to organize rest rooms and bathrooms. Having an emergency exit, fire extinguisher, evacuation plan and various permits is a major concern.
When choosing a location for a store, it is better to avoid working with the housing stock. This is due to the presence of flammable substances in the room. It is better to rent premises, because purchasing real estate is a rather risky undertaking. Alternatively, you can choose to rent with further purchase.
Advertising your building materials store
Advertising your store
First of all, you should take care of the exterior design. That is, potential buyers should be attracted by the sign. You can also use other standard methods. For example, distributing leaflets, brochures, advertising in the media, etc.
It is worth emphasizing professionalism, attention to detail, quality products and friendly staff. Selling building materials is a rather difficult business, but proper organization will allow you to receive a stable income.
Opening of the online store “VKontakte”
Online store “VKontakte”
Not long ago, the most popular social network in the Russian Federation introduced the ability to organize your own online store. The advantage of this method is instant opening, since you can create a store from scratch yourself in literally a couple of minutes, and after all the final configurations, launch advertising for it and promote it in your favorite advertising network.
For owners of already created advanced groups, an auxiliary method has appeared for monetizing a community or profile on a social network.
Personalization of jeans
More and more brands, seeking to establish interaction with customers, are turning to services for personalizing their products. One example is the Zara brand. At the end of March, a service called Zara Edited was launched in several brand stores in Barcelona, Amsterdam and Milan, allowing customers to embroider their name on denim clothing. With this service, customers can choose from 13 different denim items, ranging from shorts to jackets, and have them customized in any color or font.
Business ideas in IT
The times of globalization are currently conquering all spheres of human life. This stands out in most areas of work, including business. Information technology is directly integrated into entrepreneurship, which opens up many business ideas in the IT field.
Development of programs for drones and smartways
Development of programs for drones and smartways
These devices are in great demand in the European market. They stand out because they have open and public synchronization with phones and tablets, thanks to which they can be controlled. Auxiliary programs, the essence of which is to facilitate the control shell or configuration of drones or smartways, can have incredible success among young people.
Development of a service for trying on clothes online
Online clothing fitting services
Such technologies seem outdated at first glance, but their effectiveness is still in question. By developing synchronization of the camera program and integrated tools, it is possible to achieve the formation of a comfortable and well-known program, thanks to which you can try on all sorts of things from stores online.
Self-cleaning hotels
The rooms of the Ottilia Hotel in Copenhagen are completely disinfected daily. Disinfection occurs thanks to ACT CleanCoat technology. The room is enveloped in a substance based on titanium dioxide, resulting in an invisible protective film. Activation and automatic cleaning occurs under the influence of sunlight. The antibacterial agent destroys mold, germs and allergens, and its safety has already been confirmed by Danish scientists.
One antibacterial spray allows you to deodorize the air and can work without replacement for a year. The only negative is that once a year you need to empty the room of furniture. The cost of covering each room is still quite high and amounts to about 2.5 thousand dollars, but management hopes to reduce costs by reducing water consumption, paying employees and purchasing detergents. The staff only needs to vacuum and change the bed linen.
Business ideas in the field of tourism
Every year the global tourism industry market grows by 5%. Below are the most popular trends in the tourism industry.
Agroestate
Agroestate
In European countries, the share of profits from receiving tourists reaches about 40%. In the Russian Federation, agritourism is still not in great demand, but this trend has a successful future. If a startup owner has his own plot outside the city in a place that boasts attractive natural views, then he can turn it into an agricultural estate and rent it out to guests from the city who are tired of the rhythm of life in the metropolis.
Zipline attraction
Zipline attraction
Zipline is an unusual attraction, the purpose of which is to quickly descend on a steel rope. The key difficulty is choosing a location (most often a mountainous and beautiful place is chosen), establishing a line (there are almost no organizations that provide similar services), as well as resolving “paper” issues.
On the other hand, due to the fact that the descent interval ranges from 25-60 seconds, the zipline has a high cross-country ability, and the price of a ticket for a one-time descent can range from 350-1500 rubles.
Business idea hostel
Hostel business idea
Suppose you have an apartment with several rooms in which no one lives. Of course, you can rent it out to one client. If you turn the premises into a hostel, you will earn several times more. The idea of creating a hostel is quite new, but this makes it no less popular in cities with an influx of tourists.
What is a hostel?
This is a hotel without special amenities, where the client pays only for a bed. This means that people will pay significantly less than for staying in hotels. For example, if in an average hotel the price per night starts from thirty dollars, then per night in a hostel - from five to thirty dollars (everything will depend on the level of comfort).
The main clients of these budget hotels are business travelers and young people. Recently, foreigners have also begun to settle.
What is the environment like in standard hostels?
In addition to the bed, there is a shower, a toilet (one or more), a TV in the hall, and Internet access. Advice: it is better to equip the rooms with bunk beds, and this is natural, because you need to accommodate as many people as possible. It is also better to separate rooms by gender.
Calculating income
If you take into account that you have a three-room apartment, and that there are four people in each room, then by charging seven to ten dollars from each client, you can earn ninety-six dollars per day.
If you calculate the profit for the month, you will get about two thousand nine hundred dollars. Taking into account that you will not have a full load all the time, your revenue will fluctuate around two thousand dollars. Naturally, this is not net income, because it should be
Shopping application via messengers

You can shop a wide range of products through the app, including beauty products, clothing, home goods and more. If their recommendations are used, LetsBab users can earn 5% of product sales. According to founder Bonnie Takhar, LetsBab is the first platform “that allows anyone and everyone to share what they love and make money.”
Is the service considered household?
Since 2020, the classification of services to the population (OKUN) has been cancelled. Previously, it was on this basis that the types of activities that were classified as household services were determined. The new government list contains a different list of services, so OKUN can no longer be used.
When moving to imputation, focus on the OKVED2 and OKPD2 codes. Having found out the OKVED and OKPD service codes, compare them with the list of codes included in the Order of the Government of the Russian Federation dated November 24, 2016 N 2496-r. By this decree, the government established the types of economic activities that relate to household services. If the service is included in the list, read the regional legislation and make sure that the use of UTII is available for your service in the territory of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation.

Customers can also send photos of their fittings to friends using social networks and email. According to the company's CEO Beryl Ruff, the new concept was developed due to the understanding that online shopping now serves as the “front door” for retail stores.

In the return letter, the man will receive a full fertility report and a video recording detailing his condition and whether there is a need for doctor's help.

Business in entertainment services is good. And when entertainment gives a person some additional positive effect, helping to alleviate problematic areas of life - this is generally wonderful. Many presenters, coaches and consultants have taken the path of gamification today, offering the market so-called t-games or transformation games.

Beauty saloon.

A direction such as opening a look styling studio or a hair treatment room will cost much less than providing a full range of services. Pros – demand in the market. Disadvantages: regular expenses for purchasing materials.

In recent years, city residents often think about moving from apartment buildings to private ones, which are located outside the city, both for permanent residence and for temporary residence (dachas). At the moment, there are a huge number of house construction technologies that make it possible to reliably build a good residential building in a relatively short time.
This also affected the layout of the house. Innovative building materials make it possible to significantly speed up the process of employee training, because they offer up-to-date solutions to most issues related to the construction field.
Sawmill
Sawmill
Due to the improvement of construction, timber products are increasingly in demand, which is why the sawmill should be classified as a popular and promising type of business activity. Cottages, bathhouses and log houses made of wood require timber for construction.
In addition, lumber is used for interior and exterior finishing, as well as for the manufacture of the following products:

Rating of the most popular services in Russia
The idea of building a business in the service sector is no longer new. And in moments of crisis, individual services come to the fore and become especially necessary. Now, employment agencies are starting to be contacted en masse due to massive layoffs across the board. Hairdressers, funeral directors, plumbers and home workers will continue to be in demand in 2020. Here is a rating of services that are especially popular in Russia and where it is worth investing for development.
Business services
Many companies are reducing their staff and are starting to use the services of “coming” specialists, including lawyers, accountants, website developers, equipment repairmen, etc. This also includes fast delivery of food, water, and stationery. All this significantly saves time for busy business people and brings certain benefits.
Automotive lawyer
As the number of vehicles increases, road accidents also occur more frequently than before. Therefore, car owners often resort to the help of auto lawyers who come to the scene of an accident, conduct an independent examination, investigate the situation, and negotiate with insurance companies. They represent the interests of owners of personal vehicles in all instances.
Traveling notary
A lawyer can earn money by providing services on site and without spending money on rent and maintenance of an office or hired personnel. The population actively uses notarial assistance when it is necessary to certify a will or draw it up correctly. Also for certification of documents and their translations. A traveling notary earns 2 times more than one who sits in the office and waits for clients. This is a really profitable business, but to open it you need licensing, which in this case is mandatory.
Shoe repair
This type of business belongs to the consumer services sector. It is especially relevant during an economic crisis: the population inactively buys new shoes and takes the old ones to be repaired. And when the economy grows, people buy more, but at the same time they also use the shoe repair service: if there are more shoes, it means there will be something to repair. Great demand for repairs occurs in the off-season. When one person works in a workshop, his profit can reach up to 50 thousand rubles per month. But at the same time, it’s worth remembering about investments: buying even used equipment costs up to 400 thousand rubles.
Selection of domestic staff
These are people who can look after sick or elderly people, babysit children, clean the house, cook. Recently, the demand for such workers has increased, which is why the number of agencies recruiting staff to work from home has increased. Opening such an agency is considered a profitable business. Many of them use modern means to test personnel for professional qualities: psychiatric examination, verification of diplomas for authenticity, and the use of a lie detector. After all, many of the services provided involve working with people with disabilities and abilities. That is why the selection of employees is carried out with special passion and care. For an agency to prosper and improve its reputation, it is necessary to choose the right direction in development and provide citizens with the most useful and necessary services.
Children's development centers
Childcare, development and communication during parents' absence is an important service that busy adults resort to. Not everyone can hire a nanny for permanent work, so they send their children to development centers, where the pay is much lower. There are exclusively specialists working there who not only take care of the children, but also teach them to sing, play a musical instrument, dance, and foreign languages, revealing their potential to the maximum. Such establishments also offer “nanny for an hour”. This kind of business is successful.
Home master
I just want to delegate the endless housework to someone else. This is a normal desire, especially when there is a lack of specialized skills or simply no time. Help in fixing plumbing, making cosmetic repairs, and setting up wiring is one of the most important and in demand for the population. To open your own company, you need to hire exclusively experienced craftsmen who are capable of performing a number of different jobs.
Repair of household appliances
Repairing appliances in the home is next to home repairs and can be a separate area. This idea for business is used by craftsmen who understand perfectly well: washing machines, microwaves, refrigerators, which form an important part of the population’s convenience, often fail. After all, it is much cheaper to repair or replace individual parts than to buy new expensive equipment. It is profitable to open a repair shop or provide individual services at home.
Funeral services
One cannot fail to note the organization of the funeral. This area includes the production of monuments, coffins, wreaths, transportation of people, and obtaining the necessary documents. Often the bureau creates additional services such as a farewell room. There are always clients, which is why the business will be in demand. Employees are also engaged in communicating with the police, making necessary transactions, and reaching agreements with hospital and morgue workers.
Photos of the documents
The population often turns to photo salons to obtain photos for a regular or international passport. This is a necessity, so the salon employees always have work to do. In addition to creating photos, they also offer services such as restoration of old photographs, printing photos from a flash drive and others. When creating your own salon, first of all you need to think about the location, since the number of visitors will depend on the correct location.
Photocopying and printing
Printing and copying are still in demand. Copies of documents are required to submit them to the passport office for admission to the university. In addition to regular printing, you can order lamination and binding. The business is seasonal, as there is a large influx of clients during the school period. Therefore, in addition to the basic services, you can provide additional services such as printing photos on objects, creating photo albums, printing business cards, and more.
Analyzes
Medicine is not the last place in the sphere of human needs. Paid tests are what many people now resort to in order to quickly get results, avoid standing in lines, and generally choose the most convenient day and time to contact the laboratory. However, the service costs money. Opening your own laboratory is quite an expensive business, but at the same time promising. The most important and frequently used tests in making a diagnosis are blood tests, urine tests, allergy tests, and hormone tests.
Oxygen rejuvenation
One of the modern cosmetic procedures that prolongs the youth of the skin. Used to reduce wrinkles or prevent their appearance. If you create the right advertising and take the matter seriously, there will always be a lot of clients - the issue of maintaining beauty during the fading stage is very acute. To open an office you need to invest approximately 750 thousand rubles. And the monthly income will be up to 120 thousand rubles.
Hairdressing services
Hairstyles and haircuts are services that all people resort to from time to time. When choosing a hair salon option, you can open an economy class establishment for low-income people or a premium salon. It all depends on the area in which the premises will be rented or purchased and what kind of clients you want to see every day.
Organization of holidays
This includes organizing weddings, corporate events, birthdays and children's parties. In big cities there is always a demand for this.
