Business ideas that brought big profits. What is the most profitable business for beginners. The best small business ideas with quick payback
Today there are more and more people who strive to improve their financial well-being and open their own business. The main problem that faces those who want to organize their own business is not even the search for money, but the choice of a production niche.
Your profit and business viability depend on the correctness of this decision. To somewhat ease the pain of choice, we will present in the article the most popular areas of business that are most widespread in our country.
Which niches are not fully filled?
If we talk about the situation in the whole country as a whole, last year marketers identified the following promising areas of activity.
- A traditional niche in which there is always a rotation of players is trading.
- There are few normal producers of food, furniture and consumer goods.
- Competition in the areas of tourism, personal services and business consultations is weaker than ever. The point is not in the number of companies that are engaged in this business, but in the low quality of the services offered.
So which business is more profitable to open in our country? First of all, pay attention to the small business segment, since recent legislative initiatives in the field of increasing the tax burden have simply scared away many start-up manufacturers and opened the way for more competitive enterprises.
Public utilities
In our country, there is practically no development in the housing and communal services sector. Of course, the number of management companies is increasing, but there are very few honest players among them. If you provide your clients with quality services at reasonable prices, such a business has very attractive prospects.
We take unconventional paths
When deciding which business is more profitable to open, do not try to follow generally accepted dogmas. Thus, few people believed in the profitability of artificial snow production in Russia... until business owners literally became rich after Sochi. Considering the pace of development of the tourism business in the North Caucasus, the prospects for this kind of “abnormal” venture become very interesting.
Important! Although this has been known for a long time, experts now especially warn against “hackwork” in their endeavors. Even the most profitable idea can be ruined in the bud by treating your customers like wallets with legs.
This is especially true in the food industry, where something incredible has happened in recent years. The absence of GOSTs and Federal Laws has given rise to so many violations and scammers that an honest manufacturer can easily make a huge amount of money by simply following production technology and producing tasty and high-quality products.
Startups and other “newfangled trends”
We remind you once again that conservatism in business is punishable by profits. When deciding which business is more profitable to open, look at the world more broadly: high technology and mobile games, nettotop production, etc.... All this can bring you a lot of money.
Do you remember what a stir the Jolly Farmer, notorious for its senselessness, caused at one time? More precisely, it was such only for the players, while the creators were raking in money with a shovel. Thus, by investing in a potentially attractive game, you can become a millionaire.
There are a huge number of such examples. Just remember “Angry Birds,” which started out as a stupid joke and today brings its creators millions.
Cloud technologies
Due to distrust of major players in this market, many companies are beginning to abandon cloud technologies. It’s just that this cannot be done completely, and therefore virtual data storages from third-party companies are becoming increasingly in demand.
By organizing cloud storage that is guaranteed to be protected from customer attacks, you can safely count on good fees from interested people.
Services for setting up home multimedia systems
In recent years, the number of consumers purchasing complex and functional multimedia systems for organizing home theaters has sharply increased. But the level of technical literacy of buyers often leaves much to be desired, so services for setting up this type of equipment are a great success. The key is to hire polite and tech-savvy employees.
Such a small profitable business will easily provide you with the required amounts of money.
Translation of technical documents
Until recently, almost every entrance wall was full of advertisements for translation agency services. Unfortunately, almost all of them provide only the possibility of translating literary texts. Simply put, finding a specialist who could literally convey the meaning of a technical project is almost impossible.
Take advantage of this! The technical translation niche is barely a third filled even in large cities, not to mention the provinces. But the demand for this type of service is constantly growing!
Hotels for pets
When thinking about which business is more profitable to open, do not forget about pet lovers. After looking at thematic forums, you will determine one important nuance: if the owners of a dog or cat are going to fly to another country on vacation, they often simply have nowhere to leave their pet. This market niche is practically unfilled, and the cost of this type of service can be enormous.
Private veterinary clinics
Looking at reviews of government veterinary clinics can sometimes make you cry. In many places, the situation is such that animals are taken in by people who have not the slightest idea about veterinary medicine. However, this does not prevent them from demanding huge amounts of money for “treatment”.
Thus, by organizing a normal clinic and hiring specialists, and not the first citizens you meet without a certain type of occupation, you will quickly develop yourself and acquire a circle of regular clients. Do not forget about strict control by the SES and Rospotrebnadzor. Of course, this is not the most profitable business, but a profitability of at least 40% is not bad at all.
Small pet store
And again let's return to the topic of pets. If you ever visited a pet store as a child, you probably remember the incredible emotions you experienced there. Even in large cities there are not so many of them, let alone in smaller settlements!
But they can sell not only hamsters and cats, but also animal food, fertilizers, drinkers and bowls, and specialized literature on raising and caring for animals.
Meat and dairy stores
We continue the painful topic of nutrition. Many have already become accustomed to the fact that even in large retail chains there is a far from illusory risk of simply purchasing spoiled meat and dairy products. This is especially noticeable in medium-sized cities.
So a very profitable business in Russia is the sale of fresh and high-quality agricultural products. Of course, you will need to obtain a lot of permits from the SES and other supervisory authorities, but it is worth it.
Recycling collection points
Unfortunately, in our country the situation is still very difficult both with the garbage itself and with its processing. This is especially evident in the spring, when literally tons of trash crawl out from under the snow.
Considering the current situation, it is quite possible to turn it to your advantage. We are talking about organizing a collection point for plastic, glass and waste paper. Since in recent years they have begun to pay at least minimal attention to the environment, secondary raw materials are accepted quite willingly at processing plants.
Cafe
Yes, we foresee your indignation. Of course, we ourselves said that you shouldn’t be trivial in choosing an idea for a business, but you can open a profitable business in this case too. In principle, most more or less large cities have cafes, but the quality and taste characteristics of the food served there are, in many cases, extremely far from perfect.
So what is the best profitable business to open in the catering industry? In recent years there has been an increased interest in pubs. Yes, this is an echo of traditional Great Britain, which our citizens liked.
Of course, we are not talking about banal pubs with a dubious contingent, but about restaurants where you can not only drink a high-quality foamy drink, but also eat delicious food. There is practically no competition in this area, so the prospects for this type of business are enormous.
conclusions
And what profitable business can you open? The advice is banal and simple: look for unoccupied areas, apply your imagination to the process. There are plenty of earning opportunities, so just don't miss them!
30Sep
Hello, dear readers! Today I want to talk about a business with minimal investment or micro-business. And also give some business ideas. Very often I am asked the question of how you can start a business with minimal investment (usually from zero to 50,000 rubles).
I’ll say right away that this is possible, but you need to find your own idea and try small. Today I will try to answer this question and I really hope that you will draw your own conclusions.
Microbusiness - what is it and why you need to start small
When you were born, you didn’t immediately say the first word, didn’t immediately take the first step, then why do you think that in business you should immediately open a bank, a car dealership or a large supermarket? You may have a desire to do something big, but try to tune your brain to what you and your wallet can handle at the moment. And when the brain starts working towards goals that are closer to reality, then ideas will come to you like a river.
After all, as a rule, they are all in front of your nose. And when you started small and took on some very small business, you can expand it to medium and large scales.
And this very small business is microbusiness! You can be micro-businessmen, freelancing, producing something at home, resell some goods, or provide services. You will be very small at first, but as time passes, your growth will accelerate.
Did you know that the world's most famous snack bar, Subway, used to be just one small outlet, but now has tens of thousands of eateries around the world? And if the founders had not opened this one diner, if they had not started small, then this multi-million dollar company would not have existed!
In general, in America, every tenth person is engaged in a micro-business, producing something in a garage, selling something, etc., but in Russia this is just beginning to emerge. You have every chance!
Most of you want to do something of your own, to leave a job you don’t like, to start living better, to be more free, to later make a big business, etc. So for these purposes, micro-business is quite enough.
Many people are engaged in business and earn only a little more than the average salary, but they are happy that they are doing an interesting job and are independent, without depending on anyone.
In microbusiness, interest is important, and love is better! Because microbusiness is built on your passion for activity. If you like your business, then you can do it even for small income. The most important thing for you now is to understand that you can start small and think about what interests you. And only then think about how you can get money from your interest. You will say that I am pushing banality to you and you will be right, but if you learn this and you will succeed!
How to start a business with minimal investment
Now let's move on to the fact that it is possible to open a business with minimal investment and, moreover, it is necessary! You don’t need large investments to open a microbusiness. To get started you only need 4 things:
- Think about what you like and what you could realistically do (make a rough list right now, then add to it);
- Think about how to benefit from your interest. Just think about whether your business could be useful to someone.
- See if your available money is enough for this. If it’s not enough, then return to point No. 1 and go again.
And the fourth is the most difficult! And even if it doesn’t work out, you still did what you like, you didn’t lose anything. And even if they invested money, it was very little!
Important! When you want to eat and you only have 50 rubles in your pocket (I had this, I don’t know about you), you buy what you have enough money for and satisfy your body’s need for food. But, you must admit that if you had 1000 rubles, you would buy something more tasty. It’s the same thing at the beginning of your micro-business. If you have little money, then try to make the maximum profit out of it. You must satisfy your need - start! If you manage to do something with little money, then later you will move mountains with big money. Will you burn out? Get great experience for little money!
Living examples of business with small investments
I'll start with myself, and then move on to my cool comrades;)
- I opened my first website (a blog) with 1000 rubles in my pocket. Immediately followed by a second one for 500 rubles. Total 1500 rub. After 3 months, both sites began to bring in a total of 3,000 rubles per month, then 5,000 rubles, then 10, and so on until 15,000 rubles. After a year and a half, I sold one of them for a tidy sum, and the second one remained with my partner.
- I opened a website development studio without any investment at all. She also brought me a little 10,000-30,000 rubles a month. But that’s because I had to pay designers and layout designers.
- The service for selling tweets, likes and everything else was opened for 7,000 rubles, paid for itself in 2 days. Brought 40,000 rubles. per month and was sold.
- The blog you are reading now was started with 500 rubles, and now it is also generating income.
- We opened an online store of bags with 80,000 - 100,000 rubles, and recouped the money invested within 2 months, from the moment the goods arrived. From the age of 3 months he was already bringing in clean money and continues to this day.
- Now another interesting project is being prepared, although the investment is larger, but still not millions.
Well, all about myself. What do you want? They thought I was running a business with millions in income. No! I'm a micro-businessman! The assets, of course, are not worth a single million, but this is a matter of time, experience, desire and interest! I’m not bragging, much less there’s nothing to brag about, I just want to show by my example that you can start small!
Now let's move on to others:
- The same “SubWay” that I mentioned above was opened with an initial investment of $1000. It is now a multi-million dollar business with tens of thousands of eateries around the world.
- A friend of mine created several public pages on VK a long time ago, spending only 2000 rubles on advertising. and soon one of them gained popularity to a million subscribers, then more, etc. Income more than 100,000 rubles. clean per month.
- My parents started selling cereals at the street market when I was 5-7 years old, investing some money in the goods. Every year there was more money in circulation, there were more retail outlets, the assortment was expanding and everything was only increasing. Now, of course, they have a staff, they tried other types of business, in general they developed as best they could and continue to develop to this day.
- The founder of the JivoSite service (an online consultant for websites), Timur Valishev, invested 150,000 rubles in it, and now his service has thousands of paying clients.
- The same situation is with almost all the founders of public pages and websites. Little was invested in all of them, but now it brings a lot.
One conclusion can be drawn. Starting a business with minimal investment is more than possible, you just need to want, think and do it!
And here, by the way, is a video interview with Timur Valishev (JivoSite) and Sergei Baryshnikov (Bigpicture site). I advise you to look:
What types of businesses with small investments are relevant in 2018 and will work in 2019?
Look towards those businesses that are on the market and in demand. Would you say there is competition there? Yes, and that's good. Where it doesn’t exist, you won’t be able to enter with minimal investment, because you need to present your product to people and accustom them to it.
- Pay attention to the service sector! Services have lower costs, no warehouses, goods, etc. are needed. You can provide services yourself without initially hiring staff. By the way, I wrote an article about this on how to start.
- Try selling goods from China.
- I already wrote an article about, and there is also a section about. There you will always find working ideas for business with minimal investment.

Business idea No. 1. Selling products from one-page sites
This business is now very relevant and brought good money in 2018 and will bring in 2019 (and even longer). And it’s possible to start it with minimal investment.

But you can start by making money by selling a few of your unnecessary things. Thus, you will already have money to purchase the necessary goods.
Business idea No. 5. Inexpensive Chinese cosmetics
You buy inexpensive cosmetics in China and sell them in Russia. Such products can be distributed both through social networks, online stores, and by offering them offline (i.e. in person).
Every woman dreams of a large cosmetic bag filled to the brim with decorative cosmetics. But this dream does not always become a reality due to the high prices for such products. You can help with this by offering the product a little cheaper than in stores. Thanks to this, you will have many clients who will want to buy several lipsticks and other products at once.
In order for such a business to generate income, you need to analyze the decorative cosmetics market and select the most popular products. Then compare prices on Chinese and Russian sites. Based on this, you choose the most popular and cost-effective cosmetics and order them at wholesale prices. After receiving the goods, you begin selling it in a way convenient for you.
The amount of profit directly depends on the cosmetics sold. If you buy an eyeshadow palette at a price of 400 rubles, and sell it for 900 rubles, then the income will be 500 rubles. from one unit of goods.

To implement the idea, you need to create a team of a toastmaster, a photographer and a DJ. To legalize such a business, it is necessary to open an individual entrepreneur. After that, find a client and offer your services.
Earnings from organizing holidays can be unstable. It all depends on the number of celebrations, their scope and the specifics of the services provided.
Business idea No. 7. Organization of non-standard tours
You create an interesting, unique travel itinerary, which differs as much as possible from standard tourist tours, and offer it to the client. He buys a ticket, and you, in turn, deal with all organizational issues and support him throughout the trip.
Non-standard tourism has recently become very popular. More and more often people choose just such tours, because... They were tired of the usual and boring holiday. There will always be clients who love active recreation, eco-tourism, etc. Moreover, creating such a business requires minimal investment, experience in the tourism sector and organizing skills.
In order to organize non-standard tours, you need to rent a room, become an individual entrepreneur, hire employees (this is not necessary at the beginning of work), and distribute advertising. In addition, you will have to create several interesting tours that are suitable for different segments of the population.
Monthly income depends on the number of vouchers sold, as well as their cost. Therefore, earnings at the beginning of such activities may be unstable.

Business idea No. 9. Santa Claus
The essence of such a business idea is as follows: you are looking for actors who will agree to play the role of fairy-tale characters, developing a script and finding clients who are interested in the service offered. On the specified day, Father Frost visits the children and gives a performance.
Not a single New Year is complete without Father Frost and Snow Maiden. They are invited home, to kindergartens and schools. The demand for New Year's performances is very high and often the actors are not able to provide services to everyone. Therefore, “Santa Claus” is the most profitable business during the New Year holidays.
To implement such an idea, it is necessary to find actors or people with artistic talent, rent costumes, write a script and distribute advertising.
This type of income is seasonal. Profit depends on the number of performances, actors' salaries and other expenses. After the end of the winter holidays, you can continue to collaborate with the staff and perform at children's parties, but as other fairy-tale characters.

After this, purchase 2 copies of the board game “Mafia” and find participants (usually via the Internet). All that remains is to play the game and count the money earned.
The income from organizing a club is quite easy to calculate. On average, participation in such fun costs about 300 rubles, and the number of participants is 12. 8 games are held per month. Hence, monthly earnings are 300*12*8=28,800 rubles.

It is for them that there is a top coating restoration service. This saves the family budget and also saves the owner from a lot of problems. Therefore, customers are much more likely to restore bathtubs than to buy new ones.
In order to start working and give a second life to the bathtub, you will have to officially register an individual entrepreneur and choose a restoration method. This determines what tools and materials need to be purchased. After all the acquisitions, all that remains is to conduct an advertising campaign and wait for clients to call.

To work productively, a trainer needs to be able to work on exercise machines, know the characteristics of the human body and understand how weight is lost and muscles are pumped up. After this, you need to rent a suitable room and advertise your services. You can train clients in their home. Then the premises will not be needed.

Business idea No. 22. Sewing clothes for dogs
The essence of the business idea is as follows: Thanks to your cutting and sewing skills, you make clothes for dogs, and grateful owners are happy to purchase them. You can sew both universal models and custom-made ones. Custom tailoring will cost more.
For many dog breeds, clothing is not a whim of the owner, but a necessity. It helps protect your pet from bad weather and prevents hypothermia. Therefore, owners of short-haired dog breeds always buy new clothes for their pets during the cold season. Clothes for dogs are quite expensive due to the specifics of the product. Although there is very little material, the only equipment you need is a sewing machine.
To sew clothes for dogs, you need to have sewing equipment (scissors, threads, needles, etc.), material, a sewing machine, patterns (can be found on the Internet), a desire to work and some free time.
It is not difficult to calculate the approximate profit from 1 product. On average, one suit costs about 2,000 rubles, and the cost of material is 500 rubles. Hence the net income is 1500 rubles. If tailoring is individual, the amount can increase several times. Income from such a business may be seasonal, because... Clothes for dogs are rarely purchased in the summer.
Business idea No. 23. Handmade
The essence of the business idea: you turn your hobby into a tool for earning money. If you knit, embroider with beads, make products from polymer clay, etc., then such products can be successfully sold.
Handmade is becoming more and more popular every day. Millions of people strive to buy just such products as souvenirs and gifts. This is because each such masterpiece is unique and exclusive. Due to the great demand for such products, exhibitions and fairs of handmade products are held in almost every city.
In order to make a profit from your own masterpieces, you need to purchase the necessary material and manufacture this or that product with high quality. After this, you can post photos of your work on social media. networks, or sell products at various fairs.
The income that handmade products can generate depends solely on you. If the products are labor-intensive, made of high quality from good materials, then by selling them you can get good money. It is very important to find points of sale of finished products.
Business idea No. 24. Sewing handmade toys
The essence of the business idea: you make soft toys of popular characters and sell finished products. You can sell products both online and in stores, at fairs and exhibitions.
The target audience for which this product is interesting is very diverse. Both children and adults love soft toys. This is the product that is preferred when choosing a gift or souvenir. A distinctive feature of the products is their uniqueness. Thanks to this, handmade toys have earned the love of many people.
To sew a soft toy you will need: a sewing machine, tools and materials. After this, choose the character you will make, find a pattern (on the Internet or a magazine) and proceed directly to its production. Then you choose the method of selling the products.
The cost of the finished product can be calculated using the formula “direct costs + indirect costs x2 = market value” (these are approximate calculations). Direct costs (material) for one product are about 1000 rubles. Indirect – the cost of your time, electricity. Profit is the value of your work.
Business idea No. 25. Furniture for pets
The essence of the business idea is as follows: you analyze the pet furniture market, produce the most popular models and sell them in a way convenient for you. You can make custom furniture at a higher price.
Pet owners want to please their pets in every possible way and therefore buy them this or that furniture. People with average or high incomes buy furniture for dogs. Therefore, they try not to save money. Competition in such a market is minimal, so if you produce high-quality furniture with a beautiful design, then you won’t have to worry about the number of buyers.
To create such a business, you will need to register an individual entrepreneur, familiarize yourself with all the fashion trends in the furniture industry, purchase the necessary materials and tools, and create sketches on the basis of which the furniture will be made. It is important to conduct an advertising campaign and find points of sale for products.
This is a fairly profitable project, because... pays off quickly. If the cost of one piece of furniture is 300-500 rubles, then its market value is 700-2000 rubles. Income exceeds expenses several times.
Conclusion
My conclusion is, as always, positive. Business with minimal investment is possible! Think, start, try. You always need to start small and business is no exception. Moreover, making a business for a million is no easier than for 50,000 rubles. It just seems like there is a lot of money, so everything is simple, but everything has its own difficulties.
For example, I wouldn’t be able to manage entire factories or banks now, I don’t have much experience. Therefore, I will continue to build my small businesses, turn them into medium-sized ones, and then it’s not far from big ones;)
Thank you for your attention! I look forward to your comments.
Current situation the situation with small businesses in Russia is deplorable. Someone has good ideas, but cannot implement them due to lack of initial capital, someone has financial capabilities, but is in search of a profitable niche or is stuck at the start due to bureaucracy, bribery, peculiarities of Russian legislation, etc. .
However, despite the poor economic and political situation in the country, it is quite possible.
The most promising business- this is one to which you can devote yourself completely, that is, your hobby can turn into something that you do with great pleasure.

Which business is better? TOP 10 most promising options:
1. Hostels
In modern Europe, at every step you come across hostels - mini-hotels that can accommodate up to 12 beds in one room.
It is worth noting that hostels are quite suitable for Russia and the most profitable.
What you will need to open a hostel:
- Purchasing or renting premises;

The costs include obtaining a permit for this type of activity and purchasing equipment. We budget an average of $350-450 for these purposes.
Another $70 or so will need to be invested in customer acquisition and supplies.
Income
The level of income is influenced by the professionalism of the master, the location of the workshop, and the literacy of the advertising company. Payback – 3-6 months. Earnings – 300-600 dollars per month.

Everyone wants to earn a huge amount of money, and some do not want to give their all, while receiving the maximum profit, while others, on the contrary, completely devote themselves to the “idea”.
Social surveys over the past few decades have shown that many consider oil, financial, tobacco, alcohol, pharmacy, dental, hairdressing, investment business, and daily apartment rentals profitable (as it decreases). This opinion is widespread among the masses who do not go into details of the development and nuances of doing business.
Of course, everyone has the right to choose their own business. If you like to engage in livestock farming or grow and sell flowers - please, because the main thing is to reach the top - wealth.
Nuances of doing business in the Russian Federation
At all times, in any country in the world, a business that met several conditions for its conduct was considered a profitable and profitable business:
- A business where the source is passive income, and which is constantly increasing, can be considered profitable. In other words, this is income that does not depend directly on you. Examples of businesses with passive income include chains of stores, pharmacies, and websites.
- A profitable business is a business where goods, regardless of location, region, and services are in constant demand among buyers and tend to run out, and their purchase is not affected by either political aspects or climatic conditions. Examples include food, clothing, detergents, goods and services through which the buyer can save (fuel), goods and services related to beauty and health.
- The surest way is to minimize the costs associated with running a business and eliminating competitors. These aspects are quite feasible to achieve. It all depends on the area in which you decide to open your business.
If we take into account the conditions for doing business in the Russian Federation, then any entrepreneur will be hampered by a number of realities present in the country:
- The people of our country are characterized by collectivism, and few people can take on the responsibility (compared to the West) of opening and running their own business. People are not ready to realize themselves economically due to the lack of skills in running a business and the material base to start one.
- Our mentality is designed in such a way that we often simply cannot act honestly and openly with our partners.
- A high level of corruption makes it possible to solve emerging problems without reference to business culture (business correspondence, negotiations and transactions, honesty towards a partner).
- An entrepreneur needs help from the state, and, unfortunately, it is quite small.
But, nevertheless, if you want to build your own business and develop it, you should not pay attention to the negative aspects of doing business in our country and move forward. After all, the one who walks will master the road. 
Beneficial types of small business in the Russian Federation
It is the development of small businesses that ensures a stable economic situation in the country. The middle class of the population can engage in small business, the one who subsequently purchases apartments, cars, food and essential products on a daily basis, thereby influencing economic stability.
The President and the Government direct their programs towards running and expanding small businesses, but local authorities, on the contrary, often have a negative impact and “put a spoke in the wheels” of small businesses. It turns out to be a paradoxical situation.
However, small businesses are trying to exist and develop. The main task of such a business is obtaining maximum profit by its owner. Most entrepreneurs are trying to find their own profitable small business, and as a result, different areas of commercial activity are being considered.
According to statistics from the last few years, commerce was considered a profitable business in the country - a business related to the purchase and sale of goods (most often food). Businessmen opened large and small shops, stalls, and kiosks where one could purchase certain types of products.
But with the introduction of the law on the sale and purchase of alcohol and tobacco products and certain requirements for the points where these goods are sold, this business has become less profitable.
The opinions of statisticians and specialists at different levels agree that today a profitable small business in Russia can be considered a business, the basis of which is provision and provision of various types of services to individuals and legal entities.
One of the types of this service is repair of premises. Many, having purchased a premises for housing or for work (office), try to improve it, make it more cozy and comfortable to lift their spirits or to create a positive work environment. Even those who are not able to purchase their own premises, renting space, still strive to bring it into proper shape.
Along with the provision of premises repair services, there is also the provision of car repair services or tire fitting. Most often these are small, minor repairs (painting the body, aligning car parts, replacing tires, repairing tires).
This also includes the provision of legal and accounting services. In conclusion, it is worth noting that any small business can become profitable if you decide for yourself what is closest to your soul (any business should not be a burden, but bring joy), consider the region of your residence (which business will be in demand) and conduct marketing research on the profitability of a particular business you have chosen.
Profitable types of medium and large businesses
Medium business in Russia is the most precarious type of business. This is due to the fact that he has to compete with both small and large companies. As a result, it either outgrows and becomes large or disappears altogether. Although there are companies (a kind of monopolists) that work on favorable terms with one or two regular consumers and produce specific products (wheelchairs, repairs of city monuments).
Today, profitable medium-sized businesses include workshops for sewing and repairing essential goods (clothes and shoes, children's toys, soft toys).
Large business is the most durable among the three types. Most often, these are monopolies with their own operating principles that produce a large number of cheap products. Most people, due to their illiteracy or reluctance to delve into details, consider large business to be a state structure and treat it with skepticism and distrust. This is usually associated with the dubious privatization that took place at the peak of the 90s. And it’s not so much privatization that is the problem, but the fact that it is almost impossible for an ordinary citizen to imagine that a person like himself is able to acquire, for example, a large metallurgical plant.
Nevertheless, let’s look at the statistics and highlight profitable types of large businesses in Russia. Today they are recognized as the oil and metallurgical businesses. 
What are the benefits of being in the service sector?
The concept of “service sector,” in other words, is an activity that is aimed at providing a different range of services (commercial and non-commercial) to different enterprises, organizations and individuals. Today, this area is becoming widespread. In economically developed countries, it has long since firmly established itself and accounts for more than 60-70% of the economy in terms of the number of people employed in it.
- First place is given to catering services. Today, catering restaurants similar to “Soviet” canteens have become widespread. Cafes, restaurants, bars, pizzerias, snack bars, culinary shops - all this refers to catering services. Their placement can be found both in separate buildings intended for all visitors, and on the territory of certain enterprises and institutions serving only employees of these organizations.
- Housing and communal services. They are also a profitable business in the service sector. These include services provided by the contractor for repairs and maintenance of premises and buildings.
- Financial services. Russian Post is developing its capabilities and providing the population and organizations with ample opportunities. Today, organizations have emerged that provide some kind of financial services to the population (indirectly). Their responsibilities include placing automatic boxes for transferring funds by card number, paying pensions, accepting utility payments, servicing bank cards and many other operations.
- Information Services. Services via Internet connection. Providing customers with a knowledge base about a particular product or product.
The following listed types of services are also profitable if you see your business in them: rental services, tourism, hotel, legal, security, translation services, trade and transport services, entertainment. 
Profitable business on the Internet - myth or reality?
Today it is impossible to imagine without the Internet, regardless of where you are - in the city or in the countryside. Earning money via the Internet has become widespread and has become an excellent source of income.
Many young people today rely on online business. Let us note that it is much more difficult for a novice user to learn how to run a business online and earn income from it, but why not try, because you are not investing anything, but on the contrary, you are gaining new experience and skills.
An example would be creation and maintenance of blogs, online stores, advertising sites. Competition is often reduced to zero, since everyone sees and presents the same topic in their own way. Develop your topic and attract Internet advertising agents, who, in turn, will place advertisements, from which you will receive certain deductions from showing site visitors.
Is it possible to run a profitable business in the village?
If it turns out that your life is not in a metropolis, but in a village, and you have entrepreneurial skills or, in other words, a “vein,” try, dare, you will succeed. The only thing is that you will need to spend physical strength if you are starting from scratch, or spend a small capital to attract workers.
- A clear example today is farming. A problem may be the lack of a sales market if the number of livestock or poultry is large. But even here you can find a way out, negotiate with a local store or freeze the meat in refrigerated chests for further sale on the market.
- Creation of greenhouses and growing in them products necessary for the consumer. In winter, this can be a variety of greens (dill, parsley, green onions, celery, cilantro, basil), vegetables (tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes). In the summer, you can prepare potatoes, carrots, onions, garlic, put them aside until the cold season and then also use them for sale. Business in the village with seedlings of strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, currants, and gooseberries has become very widespread.
- Making and selling medicinal tea (which has become widespread in the modern world) or pillows stuffed with herbs. In this line of business, learning the meaning and benefits of herbs and your ability to distinguish one herb from another is important.

Unpromising directions for running your business
If we answer this question in one sentence, it will be as follows: there is no such direction. Everything depends only on you and on your desire, intelligence and talent. The only thing is, don’t set yourself up that everything will be easy, you’ll have to work hard. The main thing is to do what you love and show perseverance and perseverance.
In conclusion, we note that an important factor is a detailed study of the business that is your choice, a study of the marketing situation, demand and sales. Try it and you will definitely succeed.
What are the most profitable types of small businesses in Russia, and how do they differ from popular implemented ideas in other countries? The specifics of laws and consumer demand, as well as the still short history of the development of entrepreneurship in the state, have led to significant differences in areas and areas that are successful in the Russian Federation and abroad. If in the West and in newly industrialized countries the basis of tax revenues from businessmen is IT technologies, development, and production know-how, then in our country the most profitable types of small businesses are concentrated in trade and the service sector. Among the main reasons, experts identify:
- the focus of businessmen on the formation of assets through working capital, which is faster and easier to implement in the event that the business does not receive recognition and success. This includes expectations of sudden changes in laws, when it is not always possible to be sure how much of the profit the entrepreneur will be able to dispose of after receiving it. And difficult conditions for entering the manufacturing industries, and the lack of affordable cheap loans. Therefore, small businesses are in no hurry to purchase less liquid fixed assets (machines, equipment, etc.);
- sales difficulties. If the service is organized specifically “for the buyer”, for example, in a new microdistrict in a “dormitory” area of the city, or a cafe is opened near a new business center, the owners can always count on effective demand and a client audience. When engaged in production and development, you need to know the consumer in advance. You can participate in the procurement program on the basis of Federal Law-44 or Federal Law-223, but this requires serious knowledge and financial support, which is not always available at the initial stage of the business;
- difficulties with resources. Even if sales are found, to organize a laboratory or research center, qualified personnel, complex, often imported equipment, and consumables are needed. Often they are difficult not only to buy, but also to find.

| 12. | Vending business | 0.04 |
| 13. | Hotel business | 0.03 |
| 14. | Farming | 0.02 |
The remaining 3% covered other industries. Some of them, with high potential profitability, are distinguished by high requirements for initial investments in their organization. For example, specialized clinics, leasing property, drilling wells, oil and gas.
Others have not yet become widespread because the client market has not been formed or sufficiently prepared, and they can only develop in large metropolitan areas for now. These include private managers, financial consultants, and chiropractors.
Some of them will become promising and in demand over time, others will not become widespread and will not become profitable types of small businesses in any other regions.
