Everyone wants to earn a huge amount of money, and someone does not want to give everything 100, while getting the maximum profit, while someone, on the contrary, devotes himself completely to the “idea”.
Social surveys over the past few decades have shown that many people consider profitable (as they decrease) oil, financial, tobacco, alcohol, pharmacy, dental, hairdressing, investment business, daily rent of an apartment. This opinion is widespread among the masses, who do not go into the details of the development and nuances of doing business.
Of course, everyone has the right to choose their own business. I like to engage in animal husbandry 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 of the world, a business that met several conditions for its conduct was considered a profitable and profitable business:
- A business can be considered profitable, where the source is passive income, and which is constantly increasing. In other words, this is an income that does not depend directly on you. Examples of businesses with passive income include chain stores, pharmacies, websites.
- A profitable business is a business where goods, regardless of place, region and services, are in constant demand among buyers and tend to run out, and neither political aspects nor climatic conditions. Examples are food, clothing, detergents, goods and services, thanks to which the buyer can save (fuel), goods and services related to beauty and health.
- The right way is to minimize the costs associated with doing business and eliminate competitors. These aspects are quite realistic to implement. 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 hindered by a number of realities present in the country:
- Collectivism is inherent in the people of our country, and few people can take the responsibility (compared to the West) to open and run their own business. People are not ready to realize themselves economically and due to the lack of skills in doing business and the material base to start it.
- 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 the culture of doing business ( business correspondence, negotiation and transactions, honesty towards the partner).
- The businessman needs the help of the state, and it, unfortunately, is rather small.
But, nevertheless, if there is a desire 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 road will be mastered by the walking one. 
Profitable types of small business in the Russian Federation
It is the development of small business that ensures a stable economic situation in the country. Small business is able to be engaged in by the middle class of the population, the one that subsequently purchases apartments, cars, food and essentials on a daily basis, thereby affecting economic stability.
The President and the Government direct their programs to the maintenance and expansion of small businesses, but the local authorities, on the contrary, often have a negative impact, "put a spoke in the wheels" of small businesses. It turns out a paradoxical situation.
However, small businesses are trying to exist and develop. The main purpose of this business is maximum profit for its owner. Most entrepreneurs are trying to find their own profitable small business, as a result, they are considered different directions commercial activities.
According to the statistics of the last few years, commerce was considered a profitable business in the country - a business associated with the purchase and sale of goods (most often food). Merchants opened large and not very large shops, stalls, kiosks, where it was possible to 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 points where these goods are sold, this business has become less profitable.
The opinions of statisticians and specialists of different levels agree that today a profitable small business in Russia can be considered a business based on provision and provision of various kinds of services to individuals and legal entities.
One of the types of this provision of services is the repair of premises. Many, having acquired a room for housing or for work (office), try to ennoble it, make it more cozy and comfortable to cheer up or create a positive working environment. Even those who are not able to purchase their own premises by renting space, still strive to bring it into proper shape.
Along with the provision of services for the repair of premises is the provision of services for car repair or tire fitting. Most often, these are small repair work(body painting, alignment of car parts, tire replacement, tire repair).
This 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 closer to your soul (any business should not be a burden, but bring joy), consider the region of your residence (what business will be in demand) and spend marketing research on the profitability of a particular business you choose.
Profitable types of medium and large businesses
Medium business in Russia is the most shaky type of business. This is due to the fact that he has to compete with both small and large ones. As a result, it either outgrows and becomes large or disappears altogether. Although there are firms (some kind of monopolists) that work on favorable terms with one or two regular consumers and produce specific products (wheelchairs, repair of city monuments).
Today, profitable medium-sized businesses include workshops for tailoring and repairing non-essential goods (clothing and footwear, children's, soft toys).
Big business is the most durable among the three types. Most often, these are monopolies with their own principles of work that produce big number cheap products. Most people, either because of their ignorance or unwillingness to go into details, consider big business to be a state structure and treat it with skepticism and distrust. Usually this is due to the dubious privatization that took place at the peak of the 90s. And it is not so much privatization that is a problem, but the fact that it is almost impossible for an ordinary citizen to imagine that a person like him is able to acquire, for example, a large metallurgical plant.
Nevertheless, let's look at the statistics and highlight the profitable types of large business in Russia. To date, they are recognized as the oil and metallurgical business. 
What are the benefits of being in the service industry?
The concept of "service sector" in other words - this is the activity that is aimed at providing different series services (commercial and non-commercial) to various enterprises, organizations and individuals. To date, this area is gaining its wide distribution. In economically developed countries, it has long been firmly established and makes up more than 60-70% of the economy in terms of the number of people employed in it.
- First place is given services Catering . In today's time, public catering restaurants like "Soviet" canteens have become widespread. Cafes, restaurants, bars, pizzerias, snack bars, culinary shops all refer 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 that serve only employees of these organizations.
- Housing public utilities . Also are profitable business in the service sector. These include services provided by the contractor for the repair, maintenance of premises and buildings.
- Financial services. Russian Post develops its capabilities and provides the population and organizations wide opportunities. To date, organizations have appeared that provide some kind of financial services to the population (not directly). It is their responsibility to place automatic boxes for translation Money by card number, payment of pensions, acceptance of utility bills, maintenance of bank cards and many other operations.
- Information Services. Services via Internet connection. Providing customers with a knowledge base about a particular product or product.
Next listed species services are also profitable if you see them as your business: rental services, tourism, hotel, legal, security, translation services, trade and transport services, entertainment. 
Profitable business on the Internet - myth or reality?
Today is impossible to imagine without the Internet, regardless of where you are - in the city or in the countryside. Earnings through the Internet has gained considerable popularity and has become an excellent source of income.
Many young people today are betting on business on the Internet. 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 it, because you do not invest anything, but on the contrary, you gain new experience and skills.
An example might 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 theme and attract online advertising agents, who, in turn, will place ads, from which you will receive some deductions from showing your site visitors.
Is it possible to run a profitable business in the countryside?
If it turned out that your life does not take place in a metropolis, but in a village, and you have entrepreneurial skills or in other words “lived”, 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 little capital to attract workers.
- A good example today is farming. The 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 meat in refrigerated chests for further sale on the market.
- Creation of greenhouses and growing in them products necessary for the consumer. AT winter period it can be a variety of greens (dill, parsley, green onion, celery, cilantro, basil), vegetables (tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes). In the summer, you can prepare potatoes, carrots, onions, garlic, put it off until the cold season and then also use it for sale. A very good distribution was received by the business in the village on seedlings of strawberries and raspberries, blackberries, currants, gooseberries.
- Manufacture and sale of medicinal tea (which is widely used in modern world) or pillows stuffed with herbs. In this line of business, learning about the meaning and usefulness of herbs and your ability to distinguish one herb from another is important.

Unpromising directions of doing business

- Dentist-orthodontist. It is rare to find such a highly specialized clinic in our country. Most often, the orthodontist works within the walls of a large medical center.

In most developed countries of the world, small and medium-sized businesses form the backbone of the economy. And it is not surprising, because with minimal costs, a private entrepreneur can receive by no means small profits. But, of course, success largely depends on the area in which you want (and can) work - services, production, transport, trade, etc.
So who earns the most? Forbes magazine tried to answer this question, having compiled a list of the most profitable and promising segments of small business. The rating is based on data on 300,000 firms and individual entrepreneurs, each area was represented by at least 100 companies. The data was collected by a specialized consulting agency from 2003 to 2011.
According to the authors of the rating, most of the most income types entrepreneurship requires excellent vocational training. At the same time, these specialties allow you to work for yourself, not to maintain a staff, and sometimes not even use the office. But there is another side of the coin: the clients of such specialists, as a rule, resort to the services of the same professional. long years, that is, it is very difficult for a beginner to quickly take a worthy position in the market.
So, who got into the business top?
1. Private auditors. Net profit — 16,5%. Audit services are in demand at all times, so the financial crisis has not affected the income of these professionals. In addition, clients usually work with the same auditor (or firm) on a regular basis, so there is little to no promotional costs. And, of course, if you work for yourself, the need to rent an office and pay staff is completely eliminated.
2. Chiropractors, 15.3%. Official medicine does not always recognize the craft of these specialists, but this does not prevent them from receiving a decent income. And those who do not maintain their own office and work on departure at the client's home, moreover, have almost no costs.
3. Specialized clinics, 15%. Small transactions are the most popular cosmetic procedures and various surveys. Despite the high cost of maintaining such an institution, the prices for services more than cover all costs.
4. Accounting services, 14.9%. Just like auditors, accountants are needed by everyone and always. Any services of these specialists are quite expensive, however, competition in this area is consistently high.
5. Private dentists, 14.7%. These doctors almost never suffer from a shortage of clients. Many patients become regulars and go to the same dentist for decades; plus, they advise their favorite specialist to friends, relatives, colleagues, and so on. Even without a single advertising line and having rather expensive equipment, the dental office is a profitable enterprise.
6. Tax calculations, 14.7%. Nobody likes to fill out declarations and stand in line at the tax office. On human laziness and earn private tax.
7. Dentist-orthodontist, 14.4%. In Russia, these specialists usually do not work outside the walls of any clinics, but in America, a private orthodontist is a fairly common phenomenon. And the services of such doctors are traditionally expensive: if the client wants a Hollywood smile, he must be willing to pay the appropriate price for it.
8. Law offices, 13.4%. At the same level are the approximate incomes of all law firms and firms.
9. Small lending, 13.3%. Companies that issue small loans secured by the company's products have become popular during the crisis. Large banks in unison refused loans to entrepreneurs and demanded that previously issued loans be repaid ahead of schedule, and these firms were ready to issue funds without special requirements and for the right time. For small businesses, this has become a real lifesaver, as profits in manufacturing and trade also began to plummet.
10. Private managers, 12.2%. The financial management service is not very popular in our country, but in the West people trust traders much more than banks and not their own “mattress”. Even pensioners turn their savings into securities, so managers have a lot of clients, but there are almost no costs: such a specialist can even work from his own sofa.
11. Drilling of oil and gas wells, 12%.
12. Optometrists, spectacle fitters, 11.5%.
13. Leasing of non-residential premises, 11.3%.
14. Real estate appraisal, 11.3%.
15. Leasing of mini-warehouses and storage rooms, 11%.
16. Insurance agencies, 11%.
17. Credit intermediaries, 10.7%.
18. Investment advisors, 10.7%.
19. Speech therapists and audiologists, 10.6%.
20. Private therapists, 10.4%.
Most profitable business in the world: 3 determining factors + 3 profitable business lines in Russia + Top 7 ideas from around the world.
Every novice businessman at the start is wondering what is the most profitable business in the world?
We will try to answer it by identifying the areas of entrepreneurial activity that are considered the most promising.
By what criteria can a business be called the most profitable?
Before determining the main directions, it is necessary to identify factors that indicate that the business idea will be profitable:
Rapid return on investment.
This fact plays an important role.
A profitable business is a project in which investments pay off in the shortest possible time.
Increased demand.
The success of a business depends on many factors.
It is impossible to name ideas that will give a 100% guarantee of success.
But it is possible to single out such goods or services, the demand for which is initially at a high level.
As a rule, we are talking about essential items.
Minimum investment in raw materials, production.
It is logical that the less finance an entrepreneur needs to invest in a business, the more benefits he will receive.
This is especially important when there is a link to the exchange rate.
If you already have your own business, and it has at least two of these signs, you can rejoice - your business is potentially profitable.
And if you are only taking the first steps and still do not know which direction to go?
An overview of the most profitable ideas in different areas of business.
Small Business: An Overview of Profitable Ideas
Almost all newcomers start with a small business.
It requires a relatively small investment, a modest material base (premises, staff, equipment).
It is easy to register such activities - you can handle it on your own, even without a legal education.
Therefore, it is obvious that we should consider the most profitable ideas from this particular area of entrepreneurial activity.
a) Essential goods and services – a profitable business even in times of crisis
Let's recall one of the factors that determine the profitability of a business: .
Directions that are associated with the satisfaction of primary human needs remain relevant even in times of financial crisis.
As you can see, food, clothes and shoes are what people spend their income on in the first place.
It is worth adding that the expense item for medicines is small only because they are purchased relatively infrequently in an ordinary family (if there are no members with chronic diseases).
However, pharmaceuticals are also essential goods.
In the event of a need, people are ready to “give away the last”, but buy the right pills and the like.
Conclusion: a potentially profitable business is a grocery store, a pharmacy kiosk, clothing and footwear sales.
b) Auto repair shop - a profitable business idea
Each car after some time requires repair or scheduled inspection.
Therefore, repair shops can also be attributed to services, the demand for which is initially high.
Thanks to this, you do not need to convince the client that a visit to the auto repair shop is what he needs by listing the benefits for the person.
Enough to stand out from the competition.
A service station can offer a number of basic services:
- cleaning injectors;
- repair and testing of electrical equipment;
- repair of fuel and brake systems;
- replacement of candles;
- headlight adjustment.
And these are just some of the services available.
And if you open a car wash next to the service station, then the business will be doubly profitable.
Among the advantages of the business, it is also worth noting that in addition to a large service station with a large capital investment, you can open a simple mobile tire service.
And such a business will still be profitable and in demand.
Still in doubt? Pay attention to the "age" statistics on cars in Russia:
c) How profitable is the vending business?
There is a lot of controversy regarding the profitability of the vending business.
On the one hand, it exactly corresponds to one of the factors of a profitable business given at the beginning of the text: an entrepreneur is not required to make a large investment - it is enough to spend money on the purchase and installation of a miracle machine, and only replenish consumables from time to time.
Moreover, if earlier they offered a short list of services, now with their help you can do literally anything:
- sell coffee, tea, other drinks;
- sell food products;
- replenish accounts mobile phones, electronic wallets;
- pay utility bills and much more.
What is the contention that this business is profitable?
Pay attention to the distribution of vending machines across Russia:
As you can see, Moscow and St. Petersburg are open to innovation, the use of automatic machines does not cause rejection among people.
While in other cities, mainly, there is a demand only for payment and coffee machines.
Accordingly, there is high competition in these areas of business.
If you take your place, having successfully chosen the location of the device, it is possible to become the owner of a very profitable business:

When it comes to setting up a business in Russia, this is intimidating for many. Excuses with a hint of corruption, bureaucracy and excessive state influence on entrepreneurs are very much in vogue. Entrepreneurs who have created successful businesses, on the contrary, call Russia, Moscow, St. Petersburg, the best place to create a business. If many people managed to create a business in Russia, it means that doing their own business is justified and profitable!
What business areas are relevant in Russia today?
Consider business ideas that will help both experienced and novice entrepreneurs realize their potential.
Service business
Business in the service sector captivates with its simplicity.
In Moscow alone, there are more than a thousand different businesses that provide services rather than sell goods.
- Salon . This is not a new, standard business that does not require any special sophistication. People always need to cut their hair. To open your own barbershop, you will need a room, several employees and inexpensive equipment. A hairdressing salon is a very profitable business, as it does not require the purchase of expensive equipment and high salaries for staff.
- Beauty saloon . If a person, and especially a woman, came to you in order to preen, then it is foolish to let her go without offering additional services. And on additional services you can earn a lot more. A haircut is ordered every couple of months, but nails, eyebrows, eyelashes have to be done every week or at least twice a month. You should have noticed that Soviet-style barbershops are gradually disappearing, and numerous beauty salons are appearing in their place. This is a logical development of the service with the expansion of the range of services provided.
- Smartphone repair. Smartphones regularly fail - fall, glass breaks, firmware is required operating system. A smartphone repair service will be in high demand, especially if located at a crossroads or in a shopping mall. All you need is a point, a master and inexpensive equipment.
- Software Development. According to statistical studies, Russians believe that being a programmer is better than being an entrepreneur. What is the demand from the programmer? No tax audits, no bureaucracy, he sits at a computer, writes code and receives a salary of more than one hundred thousand rubles. That's right, but such high salaries are formed due to the fact that development customers pay ten times more. small firm in software development spends several million rubles on salaries and earns several tens of millions a month.
Home-based business
The dream of many is a profitable small home business.
A few ideas:
- At home, the production of some products is being established. These can be handmade products, weaving furniture from wicker, making slippers from linen, or making homemade cakes. The main thing is to find a market. It is worth doing advertising yourself, social networks are perfect for this, another option is to conclude an agreement with the nearest store or outlet.
- It is not necessary to produce a product, the alternative is to provide a service. A few decades ago it was difficult to imagine how to earn some money while sitting at home. It was only the lot of composers and writers. Many Russians are into copywriting, video editing, making videos for YouTube channels, and earn much more than they could earn in “real” life.
- Your apartment can be converted into an office and provide makeup, massage or stylist services. For example, to work as a massage therapist, you will need to purchase for five thousand rubles a massage table and cheap oil. A half-hour massage session in Moscow brings more than a thousand rubles. This business is good because every modern resident needs a massage. Clients are in social networks, and among neighbors, just place an ad at the entrance to the entrance.
Internet business
Such is the peculiarity of a Russian person that he is not very attracted to a business at home, which involves the production of goods. I want to work on the Internet - look at the monitor, press the keys on the keyboard, move the mouse and earn income.
Well, that's also possible. A few ideas for a person who has no skills and can not boast higher education in IT sphere:
- Vkontakte community- excellent business. It is enough to choose a certain niche, for example, the psychology of interpersonal relationships, and publish updates regularly. It turns out to earn up to one hundred thousand rubles a month, and more. Complete anonymity is allowed: no one will know who the group belongs to and who earns on it. The situation is similar with other social networks, but Facebook is not so popular in our country.
- YouTube channel. It would seem that it is so difficult to film your life on a video camera or smartphone and regularly upload these videos to the Internet? There is nothing complicated, and the numbers that students and even schoolchildren earn are simply amazing. The YouTube channel is obviously a profitable business. It does not require any investment, and attracts an audience to you for free. If you create a channel in a commercial niche, you can monetize the audience by selling trainings to your subscribers or advertising products from the affiliate network for which you will receive royalties.
- Online store. Be that as it may, the biggest money is earned on the Internet through sales. Entrepreneurs make money on banal resale Chinese goods purchased from wholesalers. Purchasing platforms are most often Aliexpress or Alibaba. It is easy to find anything on these sites. The margin on trinkets can be hundreds of percent.
The most demanded business in Russia
Starting your next online store or opening a grocery store is a good idea, but it won't surprise anyone. It is good to create a business, focusing on demand, because compliance with this principle guarantees demand, and where there is demand, there is money.
Russia traditionally lacks quality service. For example, travel agencies- a dime a dozen. They race to offer cheap tours to exotic countries, but the VIP tourism market is almost empty. In order to relax in the Maldives, customers have to book charter flights and use the services of foreign travel companies.
The situation is similar with car service. Not everyone wants to save money when replacing summer tires with winter ones. Many people care about the speed of service and quality.
Almost empty is the investment niche. The Russians do not know where to invest their money. While Americans are actively investing in the stock market, thereby supporting their economy, Russians are buying apartments, inflating national market residential real estate.
The niche of investing in precious metals is practically empty. In India, China, Germany, the US, South Africa and other rich and poor countries, people are buying physical gold. It is almost impossible to do this in our country. If there are still instruments for sale (Sberbank branches), then sell a metal ingot or gold coin almost impossible.
It is possible to fill this market, but, of course, active cooperation with government agencies will be required.
There are more than a thousand cities in our country. Most residents would like to go somewhere else, the alternative is to look at their provincial status from the other side.
- Farming can become a very profitable and profitable business, especially if you position yourself as a manufacturer of organic harmless products. This trend is popular in Western countries and is becoming more and more established with us every year, however, it is almost impossible to buy homemade eggs or farm dairy products. Many suburbanites who live in private homes and work agriculture, just like hot cakes. They are met even from trains!
- Breeding pets- thoroughbred and high profitable business, which can be organized even in an ordinary city apartment. The offspring of some thoroughbred dogs costs hundreds of thousands of rubles. Just imagine: the puppy has not yet been born, and you already have an order for its sale. There is no need to even talk about profitability here, because the costs of organizing such a business are just animal feed.
- vending business. Noticed the machines in retail chains, dropping a bill into which you can buy water, chips, a chocolate bar and other products? This is a vending machine. Such devices do not require expensive maintenance or protection (since they are located inside protected facilities). You also don’t have to spend money on advertising, because their very idea is to provide additional services to those who have already come to a particular institution in order to spend money.
Most cost effective
Before talking about profitability, it is necessary to understand the term. Profitability is commonly understood as the efficiency of using resources or money.
Options for profitable business in Russia:
- Thrift store. uneasy economic conditions do not allow millions of Russians to throw away spent household appliances or used items in the trash, they would not mind selling them. Social networks or message boards are used. But not everyone has the skills of an advertiser in order to write an ad, and almost all message boards now require a fee for use. A thrift store is a great business that connects sellers of used equipment and used items and buyers.
- Selling healthy food to lovers of a healthy lifestyle. There is a trend in the world: all more people become vegetarians, vegans, such types of nutrition are gaining momentum that no one had heard of a decade ago, for example, a raw food diet. You can open the production of yeast-free bread, buy from farmers or resell homemade dairy products, organize a delivery service drinking water. Demand for such services is still small, but businesses in this area are characterized by excessive customer attachment. If the buyer liked your flax seed bread, he will most likely become your regular customer, plus he will also bring friends.
- Pharmacy . Statistics show that the number of sick people in our country is increasing every day. A pharmacy is not only a profitable, but also a highly profitable business. You can open your outlet on a franchise basis and become a small unit of a large pharmaceutical family. An actual business in times of depreciation of the national currency may be the opening of a pharmacy of a low price range.
Franchise business: pros and cons
Entrepreneurs, especially beginners, are often frightened by a business plan and organizational issues. What can we say, the thought of the tax is shuddering! There is a way to avoid all these organizational issues - a franchise.
What is a franchise? Imagine you have opened your own private kindergarten. You have an author's program, children like it, parents are delighted. Time to open the second one. No sooner said than done. Then the third, fourth, and then in other cities. And then comes the moment when you realize that money is made by sharing your successful experience.
For this purpose, a franchise is being sold, that is, a ready-made business plan, in which all operating costs are calculated, it is described what kind of staff is needed, what are the associated costs, and so on.
Will such an offer be in demand if potential novice buyers are burning with the idea of creating their own business, and a successful businessman appears in front of their eyes, not just selling another information product, but inviting them to become part of a large company?
The franchise is very popular in our country, but it has its pros and cons.
Franchise benefits:
- Market research, sociological surveys, deciding whether a business idea will work is the concern of other people. Already thought up, painted and offered on a plate.
- Lack of entrepreneurial experience is not a problem at all. If there is no official income, the bank will most likely refuse to provide a loan, but the franchisor (franchise seller) will come to the rescue and act as a guarantor.
- You can immediately see what profit you can count on, and what possible losses. Often, when starting a business, these values, although they are written in the business plan, have nothing to do with the numbers that you have to observe in your accounting statement.
Cons of a franchise:
- Entry threshold. A franchise is not a gift. No one will give you money to start. The first question a franchise seller will ask is whether you have start-up capital. Not? Go, earn, collect.
- Part of the profits will have to be paid. Royalty is an integral part of any franchise. This is fair, but if two or three years have passed, doing everything yourself, it may be tempting to stop regular contributions to business strategy developers. It will not work: the contract obliges!
- You have to work. Many start-up entrepreneurs mistakenly believe that a franchise is an opportunity to successfully invest in an existing business project. This is far from the truth and does not intersect with classic investments that are used to generate passive income. Franchise involves hard entrepreneurial work, associated with risks, disadvantages and peculiarities.
Relevance, profitability, payback of a business are not the main characteristics that you should pay attention to when creating a business. The main thing is still your competence and how much you like and how much this or that idea lights you up.
