Business involving participation in trade chains “we buy imported goods and sell to our compatriots” ceases to be profitable. There are many reasons for this, from geopolitical to economic. For Russian production of any scale today the green light is on. How to navigate among the opportunities that have opened up, what can a small business bet on?

 

The time of intermediaries is running out

From the very beginning of economic freedoms in Russia and until recently, domestic small businesses preferred the sphere of trade and services. Often the business model was elementary: we buy abroad, sell at home. Low competition and huge opportunities for choice ensured high profitability of projects.

* - with annual revenue up to 1 billion rubles. (2014 criteria)

The crisis, sanctions, high dollar and weak ruble dictate new rules of the game: competition in trade and services increases, demand narrows, and profitability falls. The most significant decrease in revenue for the 1st half of 2015 was recorded in wholesale and retail trade, and in cargo transportation. For small businesses, the time has come to adapt to market changes: today the trend is production and implementation of innovative projects. This is where there are many free/low-competition niches. Let's figure out what is profitable for small businesses to produce in Russia now.

Production prospects: where to look for profit

Today, imported products are available in any Russian stores: food, sports, children's, household, electrical and other goods. Often, the “made in Russia” label hides a product assembled from foreign components. A small business can launch a successful production of any of these products. The main thing is to identify which product, what quality and price will be in demand.

When deciding on production, it is worth taking into account the sentiments/preferences of consumers in the B2B and B2C sectors. Russians - individuals buy less and save more. The direction of using free money has changed.

What are Russians willing to spend on?

Russian enterprises are focused on purchasing goods/services that allow them to maintain/increase sales while reducing costs, i.e. they are looking for inexpensive ways to increase the efficiency of business processes and reduce product costs. For example, by replacing imported components with Russian ones.

What is profitable to produce during a crisis by industry?

1 Furniture: junkyard chic

Italian kitchens are becoming an unaffordable luxury for many. It's time to offer our compatriots high-quality, eco-friendly furniture made in Russia. Our consumer now counts money, is sophisticated in the practicality of furniture and has tried Ikea.

Therefore, a successful furniture business idea should be:

• cheap to produce, competitive in price;
• fresh and original, using design solutions;
• environmentally friendly, using recycling ideas.

Furniture made from pallets (wooden construction pallets) meets these requirements. It can be a country house, garden, intended for offices and creating residential interiors in country, loft or industrial style. In this case, it is not necessary to disassemble the pallets; they are used as modules, constructing original models. The secret is in proper processing. Pallets are a cheap and rewarding “construction” material.

An important nuance. Furniture should look stylish and functional, not clumsy. Professional designers should participate in the development of models.

2 Pet products: cheaper and healthier

According to VTsIOM, 76% of Russians have pets. We are third in the world in terms of the number of pets per capita after the USA and China. What is it profitable for small businesses to produce in Russia for their smaller brothers?

The Russian animal feed market is growing despite the crisis. In the most profitable segment of the market - food for cats and dogs - today there are two leaders: Mars and Nestle (joint share - 86%). They can and should be squeezed out by domestic producers. The main thing is to choose the right niche.

It is believed that Russians do not skimp on pets even when they themselves have nothing to eat. In reality, people switch their animals to economy-class feed, preferring the healthiest options available.

Healthy food for cats and dogs - minced meat and bones with vitamin and mineral supplements. Such food is used by specialized nurseries and is sought after by knowledgeable cat and dog owners. The production of “natural cutlets” for animals in Russia is carried out by a few small producers. The niche is not very competitive.

To produce natural food for cats and dogs, you do not need an expensive production line; everything can be organized in a minimal area with small investments.

To launch a full production cycle you will need the following equipment:

• cutting table for meat products;
• meat grinder and minced meat mixer;
• molding machine/scales;
• blast freezing machine and “hot” table for packaging;
• freezer.

The cost of natural food is lower than that of industrial “drying”, even if it is produced from mechanically separated meat, which is used in the production of sausages. The business model is simple. The main limitation of sales is that there must be refrigeration equipment at the point of sale.

3 Construction and finishing materials: money out of thin air

The building materials market is shrinking. According to a study by RD Construction analysts, a drop in production for January-July 2015 compared to the second half of 2014 was recorded for cement, ready-mixed concrete, reinforced concrete products, and red ceramic bricks: -12, -30, -15, -1.5%, respectively. This is how the reduction in the pace of mass housing construction has backfired on building materials - the demand for housing is falling.

The main product of recycling old tires, crumb rubber, is used in the production of:

• rubber tiles/paving stones;
• coverings for sports grounds and fitness rooms;
• wall finishing materials;
• innovative road surfaces;
• accessories for cars (mats, mud flaps, etc.).

The cost of technological lines for “grinding” tires into rubber crumb depends on productivity, the degree of automation of the process, the quality and size of the output fraction. But in general, we are talking about costs of 1 - 12 million rubles. In addition to Chinese equipment options, there are also Russian ones: the plants of Vtorrezina Ecoprom LLC, Alfa-SPK LLC and others offer lines of their own design. It is better to prefer domestic equipment - both the quality of the product and the reliability of the machines are higher.

It is more profitable to produce goods with high added value, i.e., in addition to crumb rubber, produce tiles and coatings. The last two products are cold or hot molded from crumbs, polyurethane glue and dye. The cost of equipment starts from 2 million rubles.

The payback period for a mini-plant for the production of rubber tiles is from 6 months. The indicator is excellent, but the investment required to start will be significant. There is a more economical entry option: many manufacturers (EcoStep, Masterfiber, etc.) offer to start a franchise business. From 500 thousand rubles.

4 Tourism goods: my native country is wide

The growth of major world currencies and rising labor costs in China have a beneficial effect on the domestic light industry market. In 2015, the share of Russian manufacturers in this industry increased to 24% and continues to increase. What should a startup focus on?

Russians save money on vacation trips abroad. Most have to be content with local flavor and sponsor domestic tourism. They need equipment.

• mid-priced tourist clothing and equipment;
• budget tents (up to 5,000 rubles);
• fishing products of the low- and mid-price segment (up to 3,000 rubles).

The production of backpacks, ventilated caps/hats, windproof caps, gloves, “encephalitis”, thermal underwear, sweaters is a profitable business. You can choose a very narrow niche and start producing mobile baths or thermal bags.

It is not necessary to develop innovative boating raincoats or life jackets. It is enough to make practical and functional products a la the “Expedition” clothing range. But at reasonable prices.

5 Automotive equipment: Thule from Tula

What is profitable to produce in Russia for cars, where there is a free niche? Comparing our popular Swedish plastic autoboxes of the Thule brand with analogues is the same as pitting a Rolex against a regular watch. The Thule buyer primarily pays for style and branding. Moreover, from a production point of view, luggage boxes are the simplest products. Thule prices in Europe range from $400-970. The price, which is inhumane at the current dollar exchange rate already at the place of production, in Russian retail stores turns into an amazing one: premium solutions cost 60,000 - 100,000 rubles.

The average price segment of the car box market in Russia (10,000 - 20,000 rubles) is now under the radar of Polish, Czech, Italian and Chinese manufacturers. Products from the Middle Kingdom deserve special attention: they are widely represented, but the quality is objectively low. Time to make car racks in Russia. Domestic manufacturers of boxes for cars exist as a class, but are counted on one hand (brands ATLANT, VetlaN, LUX). Moreover, some have a meager assortment, others specialize in “luggage systems made from European components” (read: depend on exchange rate fluctuations), and still others have poor quality.

During a crisis, mini-production of universal luggage boxes (for all brands of cars) made of high-quality plastic with a reliable opening/locking system in low and medium price categories is profitable.

To do this you will need:

• vacuum forming equipment (Russian - from 350 thousand rubles);
• Press forms;
• raw material - ABS plastic.

Soft car boxes made of polyester, PVC and other plastic polymers are cheaper to produce. But this is sewing production and a completely different story.

Mini factories for small businesses – 5 advantages + features of running such production + 6 examples + 9 best mini factories.

People who decide to start private entrepreneurship face certain problems at the initial stage. Which field of activity should I choose? Where can I buy suitable equipment? How to save money?

Mini factories for small businesses– a good solution for young businessmen, which simplifies the search for answers to the questions raised above.

Why is it worth purchasing a plant in mini format?

Before you start your own manufacturing business, you need to pay attention to all the pros and cons of such activities.

The advantages of buying a mini plant for business include the following factors:

Mobility.

Small in size compared to full-fledged plants, this equipment is easy to assemble, install and transport.

Some mini factories are equipped with wheels, which allows you to quickly move them from one point to another.

Small dimensions.

This feature allows you not only to save on renting land and premises, but also, if necessary, to change the location of the mini-factory without special costs.

Low cash costs to start a business.

Thanks to the small size of the mini plant, it becomes possible to save not only on territory, but also on electricity. In addition, maintenance of such equipment does not cause any special problems.

Efficiency.

This is probably the main factor that indicates the benefits of such a business.

Relatively small economic costs make it possible to create an effective enterprise that is capable of full competition in the chosen field of activity.

As for the disadvantages of mini factories for small businesses, there are not many of them. They are mainly due to the fact that the equipment. This makes it difficult to purchase the necessary parts in the event of a malfunction.

But if you take the choice of a mini plant seriously, you can choose equipment that will serve you for a long time. In addition, recently many Russian enterprises have appeared that specialize in the manufacture of such equipment.

Features of doing business using mini factories

Compared to large factories, starting a business using such equipment is much easier. But here too there are some nuances and peculiarities.

No. 1. Choosing a niche.

To begin with, as in any business, you need to decide in which area of ​​production you are going to work. It is advisable that the chosen activity is close and understandable to you.

Competitiveness and demand in the region play an important role when choosing a business direction. It is best to occupy a niche that has great prospects, but has not yet gained popularity among private entrepreneurs.

Time plays a big role. The faster you start manufacturing a unique product in your region, the greater your chances of taking a leading position in this area of ​​production.

No. 2. Business plan.

Clear and competent drafting of your own business is a very important factor in entrepreneurial activity.

For your business to be successful, you need to work on the following main points:

• Calculate all expected expenses, from the purchase of a mini plant to the cost of packaging the finished product.
• Methods of delivering products to the consumer, transportation costs.
• Search for a sales market.
• Location of mini-format plant, search for employees.

  Rural areas are most often used, since the cost of land is low, and the level of wages for workers is much lower than in large metropolitan areas.

No. 3. Preparation of necessary documents.

The main advantage of opening a mini-format plant is that to start a business it will be enough to register as an Individual Entrepreneur. To do this, you should study the corresponding section of the Federal Tax Service website: https://www.nalog.ru/rn77/ip/interest/reg_ip/petition/.

Otherwise, everything happens according to the standard scheme: obtaining permission to open a mini-plant from various municipalities; inspections of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, etc.

The speed of processing documents and obtaining permission from local authorities is positively influenced by the fact that your business is associated with social significance for the area. For example, a mini waste processing plant will receive government approval. In this case, there will even be a good chance to receive financial support from the state for business development.

Mini factories for small businesses - an overview of the best options

Today there are many ideas for developing small businesses in Russia using mini factories. This popularity is due, first of all, to the need to make small financial investments in business development.

Many investors are also attracted by the quick payback of the mini plant.

Taking into account the above reasons, we can identify several areas of production that are of great interest to Russian entrepreneurs:

Construction.

The most popular area of ​​activity in our country, which contributes to the emergence of a wide variety of mini factories. There are separate units for the production of concrete, bricks, consumable building materials, etc.

Also has a wide range of activities. You can purchase mini factories of different directions:

• meat processing;
• production of dairy products;
• production of confectionery and bakery products;
• juice production, etc.

1. Garbage recycling.

   This field of activity, against the backdrop of global concern about the state of the environment, is gaining great popularity in the Russian Federation. A significant advantage of such a business is approval from the authorities, which gives a chance to count on subsidies from the state.

   Light industry.

   It is quite profitable to open a mini-factory for the production of textile and knitwear products (clothing, shoes), household goods, cosmetics, etc.

Whatever production area you choose, the main thing is to have knowledge in this area, analyze the competitive ability and demand for the product. This will significantly improve the efficiency of your enterprise.

Let's look at a few examples that use mini-format plants for small businesses.

Example No. 1. Brick production.

The cost of such equipment ranges from 1 million rubles and more. It is worth noting that the costs of producing bricks are quite high. Buying one piece of equipment is not enough here - you will need different equipment. Also, the purchase of raw materials takes a considerable amount of money.

For example, to make 1,000 bricks you will need about 800 kg of cement, 300 liters of water and more than 3,000 kg of basic raw materials. The power of equipment for such a business is usually very high, which also requires high costs for electricity.

As we can see, a mini brick production plant requires considerable material costs. However, the “financial return” from such an enterprise is very good. Many aspiring entrepreneurs subsequently expanded their business, which brought even greater profits.

Example No. 2. Production of compound feed.

It would be advisable to open such an enterprise in rural areas, closer to farmers’ pastures. This way, you will quickly gain a clientele and save on delivery of goods.

This equipment processes and crushes grain (corn, wheat, barley, etc.). The quality of the product largely depends on the size of the crusher sieve. You can use a garage or barn as a room. No heating required.

Due to its favorable location (near grain fields), most of the raw materials can be obtained from local farmers and agricultural enterprises.

Example No. 3. Concrete production.

To organize such a mini plant, you will need a concrete mixer, with which you can obtain a high-quality product. This option is most likely perfect for large construction companies that service large projects. This can significantly simplify the organization’s work and allow you to save money (you won’t have to use the services of third-party companies).

The mini-format concrete production plant is often made mobile so that it can be moved from one construction site to another. Transportation can be carried out using a tug or tractor.

To buy such equipment, you do not have to be the owner of a construction organization. It can also be purchased by a private entrepreneur in order to rent it out to the same construction companies.

Example No. 4. Production of foam blocks.

Foam block is a very popular material in construction. The equipment for their production is somewhat reminiscent of concrete mixers. However, the mixture is mixed in such a way that peculiar bubbles are formed in the finished material. This is done using a foam generator.

The main part of the costs for the production of foam blocks will be the purchase of cement. Before opening such a business, be sure to find a cement supplier who works on favorable terms.

The production of foam blocks attracts many entrepreneurs because it does not require the use of any special technologies. The business is quite simple and straightforward.

Example No. 5. Milk processing.

The milk processing business is more complex than previous examples. It is a whole complex, which consists of several stages of production. Accordingly, several pieces of equipment will be needed to create a full-fledged mini plant.

Depending on the cost of equipment, such a complex can process from 250 kg to 25 tons of milk in 24 hours. As a result, you can get a variety of dairy products (cottage cheese, Adyghe cheese, sour cream, etc.)

When opening such a business, you must clearly understand how much raw material you will have. This determines how much money you will spend on purchasing equipment.

To launch such production, small workshops are usually organized.

Example No. 6. Garbage recycling.

This type of activity is very popular in Europe. The reason for this is the growing population in these countries, which leads to an increase in the amount of waste produced. In addition, the ecological condition of the Earth is becoming worse, which forces us to come up with new ways to dispose of household waste.

Since this area of ​​business receives increased attention from the state and is related to the environment, it has some difficulties in processing documents. The bureaucratic process can drag on for several months. It is necessary to obtain a license from the Ministry of Environment, permission from sanitary and fire services, and much more.

The cost of opening such an enterprise can be several million dollars. However, you can limit yourself to a business that specializes in recycling one type of waste. For example, let's say you want to start recycling plastic.

To do this you will need:

• sorting unit;
• conveyor;
• press;
• storage space.

You can improve your business and buy additional melting furnaces. This solution will significantly increase your income, since you will not only sort the garbage, but also recycle it.

The following video will tell you about the advantages and disadvantages of mini-production.

Review of the best business ideas for starting your own mini-business.

Rating of the best mini factories for small businesses

If you decide to create a small business based on the use of a mini plant, then you need to study in detail the characteristics and capabilities of the equipment.

Recently, China has become the leader in the production of such equipment. This is not surprising, because the quality of the equipment is at a fairly high level, and the pricing policy is very attractive for Russian entrepreneurs.

For many people, the word factory is associated with huge workshops, smoke and high chimneys. But that's a long time ago. Of course, giant factories are operating and being built, producing oil platforms, ocean ships, turbines and steel. But a huge mass of products that we use in everyday life are produced in mini-factories. If only the state or a powerful corporation can build a giant plant, then a mini-production for a small business can be created by a small group of people or even one person. You don't always need to have a lot of capital to start. Let us remember that the automobile industry and television began with small workshops. Mini-factories in Russia are a rapidly growing business.

Investing in these industries ensures a quick payback as well as a high rate of profit.

What is a mini-factory, in which industries is it most profitable? A mini-factory is an enterprise that employs from several people to several dozen workers. What advantages do mini-factories have for small businesses?

Let's look at everything in order

1. Mini-factories are exclusively mobile. Mobility here is not only the ability to quickly transfer equipment to a new location, but, most importantly, it is the ability to adapt to rapidly changing market requirements. Mini-factories are rebuilt to new products within days or weeks.
2. Small-scale production is highly economical and profitable (with the right choice of niche in the market). This is due to the fact that such industries do not have cumbersome administrative and maintenance personnel.
3. Mini-factories can produce small-scale custom products. The exclusivity of such works ensures their high profitability.
4. Mini-factories have a quick payback period. They, as a rule, do not require large capital investments when created.

If you decide to create a mini-factory, then the first task is to determine the area of ​​​​activity in which you intend to work.

There can be no universal solutions here. It all depends on the region in which you are located, the availability of raw materials, start-up funds, the market situation, etc. However, we can list some areas in which mini-workshops for small businesses operate successfully. So let's consider some manufacturing business ideas for small businesses.

1. Production of building materials. In Russia there are already many mini-factories for the production of bricks, concrete blocks, paving slabs, foam concrete blocks, etc. But this market is not yet saturated enough. There are regions, especially remote from the center, where there is a shortage of such materials.
2. Food production. These are mini-bakeries, production of dairy products, sausages, exclusive confectionery, soft drinks, dried fruits, etc. It all depends on your idea of ​​small production.
3. Household goods and plastic products. Here you can fully realize your ideas and ideas. One good idea can make you a millionaire. Remember the Rubik's cube. Kitchen appliances, original appliances that make the housewife’s work easier, even souvenirs can be the start of a mini-workshop for a family business.
4. Household chemicals, auto chemicals, cosmetics. The capital investment is very low and the payback is very fast. However, it should be borne in mind that the market in this area is very saturated with goods of various price categories.
5. Recycling of plastic waste and waste paper. This type of activity is in high demand, but requires licensing and permits from fire and sanitary services.
6. Production of metal products. Foundry and forging production can be easily organized in limited areas. Production requires experience and sufficient qualifications.

Before you start building a mini-factory, you need to conduct a thorough market research for the products you intend to produce. It's best to start with products that are familiar to you. It is very important to evaluate the sources and reliability of supplies of raw materials, as well as the costs of marketing products. Assess your real financial capabilities. After all, in any work there can be failures and temporary setbacks. Make a business plan. When drawing up a business plan, take into account the costs of renting production space (if you do not have your own), transportation costs and repair work.

Business plan

Let's consider drawing up a brief business plan for the construction and operation of a mini-factory for the production of foam concrete blocks.

Initial data

An analysis of the situation on the building materials market showed that intensive construction of low-rise buildings and cottages is underway in our region. There is no production of thermal insulation and structural foam concrete in our region. Nearby there is a cement plant, a sand quarry, and metallurgical slag dumps. A decision was made to build a mini-factory for the production of foam concrete blocks with a capacity of 10 m3 per shift. The average selling price of foam blocks of various brands is 2,400 rubles/m3.

Risk analysis

The main risks lie in the seasonality of construction work. To minimize this factor, during a favorable period of 5-6 months, we create a stock of materials that we sell in winter for the arrangement of interior partitions. During the frosty period, we stop production. There are no support staff costs at this time. Taking into account market conditions, cinder blocks can be produced using existing equipment. The mini-plant equipment is installed and dismantled within 3-5 hours, which allows, at the request of customers, to produce foam concrete mixture directly at the customer’s construction site for the construction of monolithic buildings.

Purchase of equipment

A set of equipment for producing foam concrete, depending on productivity, costs from 80,000 to 250,000 rubles. We selected a set of equipment for 100,000 rubles. It was decided to make molds for foam blocks independently. The costs are 20,000 rubles. We have transport (vehicle with a carrying capacity of 3 tons). Thus, the cost of equipment is 120,000 rubles.

Plant location and preparatory work

The plant is expected to be located in an industrial building with an area of ​​250 m2, connected to the electrical network. Water comes from an artesian well located nearby. The rental cost is 20,000 rubles. per month.

Calculation of current costs

We calculate according to a conservative scenario, taking into account the shutdown of the plant in the winter. The cost of materials, electricity and water for the production of 1 m3 of foam blocks on average (for different brands) is 1,400 rubles/m3, taking into account transport costs. With a production volume of 200 m3 per month, the cost of raw materials will be 280,000 rubles/month. The salary for hired personnel is 80,000 rubles/month, taking into account the unified social tax (two workers are employed in production, we outsource bookkeeping). Rent – ​​20,000 rub/month. So, current costs are 380,000 rubles/month.

Calculation of the payback of a mini-factory

The monthly sales volume is 480,000 rubles/month. Profit – 100,000 rubles. The payback period is less than 1.5 months. Thus, even taking into account the need to establish constant connections with product consumers, the mini-plant pays for itself in one summer season. Taking into account seasonal fluctuations in sales, income is about 600,000 rubles. in year.

Today you can purchase complete mini-factories, both domestically produced and imported.

Below we provide a list of some mini-factories, the payback of which ranges from 6 months to two years.

Production	Initial costs, rub.	Brief description of production
Production of profiles from galvanized sheets	400-600	Machines for bending sheet metal make it possible to produce profiles for plasterboard systems, drainage systems, brackets, etc.

Production of bricks and cinder blocks	from 1000000	The profitability of production depends on the proximity and availability of raw materials (slag, clay, sand), as well as consumers in the region. Well-formulated, high-quality recipes from available raw materials ensure quick sales and high profitability.
Mini plant for the production of pet food	200-300	There are complete mini-plants on the market. Suppliers often offer a set of basic product formulations.
Production of sauces, mayonnaise and ketchup	800-900	In large cities there is high competition in this segment, but in remote areas production will be highly profitable.
Production of windows from PVC profiles	500-600
Production of exclusive paints and varnishes	200-300	Complete equipment with a set of basic recipes allows you to produce luminous and fluorescent paints.
Manufacturing of construction nails	600-700	Production is carried out in a small area and does not require a large number of workers. Can be the basis of a family business.

We bring to your attention the ten best business ideas for mini production that can be organized in a small workshop or garage. Most of the products presented below can be produced by one or two people.

Modular paintings are a fashionable trend in decorating home and office interiors. These products are in good demand and are purchased both as a gift and simply for wall decoration (for example, for a family photo).

Technology for the production of modular paintings

Modular paintings are made from stretchers and fabric onto which the image is applied. The production technology is not complicated and anyone can master it. Ready-made stretchers are purchased from private woodworkers (or purchased in stores), and the image is printed onto the fabric using a conventional plotter.

Implementation of modular paintings

Modular paintings are sold through individual orders, specialized stores and hypermarkets, as well as in the format of live advertising (on busy streets). The retail price for modular paintings starts from 4 thousand rubles. Not a complicated business, which is organized in a small workshop. Read more…

A wooden pallet is an extremely popular product in logistics. Almost every industrial and commercial enterprise that sells products in large quantities needs pallets, which greatly facilitate the loading and unloading of goods.

Pallet production technology

On a small “garage” scale, pallets are made manually, using a pneumatic hammer. The main difficulty is to produce those very thin planks that form the frame of the product. To cut such boards, special multi-saw frame machines (for example, RM-50) are used. Average price - 500,000 rub. The approximate cost of one wooden pallet is 120 rubles, while the retail price is at least 200 rubles. “Navar” from 80 rub. from one pallet. The production of 100 pallets per day will bring about 8,000 rubles. How to quickly make a pallet:

Chipboard coffins

We can say that the business idea of ​​producing coffins from chipboard (or other cheap materials) is a 100% option. Funeral services are always in demand, regardless of the crisis. Expensive coffins may not sell, but budget (economy) coffins will be sold only this way in a crisis. Chipboard is used as the frame of the economy coffin, and it is lined with velvet or fabric. The cost of producing a unit of production is 2 - 3 thousand rubles. This option costs the customer 4 - 6 thousand rubles.

Garden figures for decorating garden plots and summer cottages are in good demand in the spring and summer. The manufacturing technology of such products is extremely simple and boils down to pouring a pre-prepared mixture into a finished mold. After the figure has dried, all that remains is to paint it with a spray bottle. The only difficulty in this case is to buy those same forms, which are not cheap.

Garden figures are made from plaster (a cheaper option), concrete or polystone. The most common methods of sale: deliveries to large construction and hypermarkets, as well as sales near highways with a large flow of cars. The profitability of the business in the production of garden figures is estimated at 35%. Read more…

A good idea for a small business is the production of reinforced concrete rings. This product is in great demand in the construction of wells, ventilation shafts and bridges. Due to the fact that rings are quite heavy and their delivery is extremely expensive, there are not many large manufacturers of these products. This means there is no huge competition and pressure from federal players. This is one of the best products for small production.

What is attractive about this idea is the relatively inexpensive start and understandable technology.
