Simple production equipment. Pallet production technology. Own production: we determine the reasons for success

The business of producing goods is a rather complicated phenomenon. It is difficult to organize, it requires a large number permits and investments, it does not bring profit immediately and can pay off for years.

If after such words you decide to close this section and go in search of easier business ideas, stop and think about this: no one would “get involved” with production if it were not profitable.

Production in Russia is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it is much more profitable to produce in our country than abroad, especially in times of crisis. The costs of customs duties and risks with non-delivery of products on time are excluded. On the other hand, own production is associated with many difficulties.

First of all, organizing production is a costly business. Even if we are talking about a small family business, and not a giant plant. Therefore, if you have few savings, the idea of ​​\u200b\u200bproduction should be dismissed immediately. You will have to spend money not only on the equipment for production itself, but also on renting premises for storing products, renting premises for work and arranging it in accordance with all safety norms and standards. By the way, with the coordination of the latter, certain difficulties may arise. For example, a number of norms necessary for building technologies according to international standards are still missing.

In addition, not all materials are cheaper to produce in Russia, many simply do not have Russian analogues, as a result of which the cost of production also largely depends on the exchange rate.

The second difficulty is the legal registration of the business. It is not enough just to register an individual entrepreneur or LLC to start producing products. Get ready for your production room at least check SES and fire inspection. And if it does not meet all the necessary standards, you will not be issued a hygiene certificate, which means you will not be able to work legally. In addition, you will have to confirm that your products are manufactured in accordance with industry standards and meet GOST standards. You will also have to prepare a technological instruction.

In individual areas of production, their own special documents may be required. For example, if you intend to produce alcoholic beverages, you will have to issue a special license, without which it is illegal to work.

It is also worth noting that production can be unprofitable in the first months of its existence, when you will not only pay workers, buy raw materials, pay rent for premises and utilities, but also to pay loans for equipment, etc.

A manufacturing business has a lot of fixed costs, and unlike the service sector, it is necessary to constantly load production with work, otherwise it will not be able to exist.

It is much easier to sell someone else's products, especially if they are well known.

A manufacturer, especially one working under its own brand, must promote it, and this is very costly and time consuming. However, production also has a lot of advantages. The first of these is to create a serious competitive advantage. You can make a unique product. Compared to the service or retail sectors, own production clearly provides a powerful foundation for business.

Also, manufacturing is more stable compared to a sales or service business. In fact, you are not dependent on suppliers of finished products, and therefore you are not afraid of a decrease in quality, an increase in prices or a sudden refusal to cooperate. For all this, especially for quality, only you yourself are responsible to the client.

Well, besides, which is quite important, small industries are more mobile. If the demand for your products rises sharply or vice versa decreases, you can always “tweak” the volume of products.

Also, a business built on the basis of its own production may well gain an advantage in a crisis. For example, clothing brands whose production is concentrated in Russia were able to keep prices at pre-crisis levels. As a result, their sales volumes practically did not decrease, unlike brands whose clothes are imported from abroad.

In a word, having your own production is an ambiguous point that has enough pluses and minuses. Everyone who is going to open their own business should take them into account. In the meantime, let's get acquainted with the motives of those people for whom the advantages of production turned out to be more significant than the disadvantages.

Igor Frolov

I wanted not just to earn money, but to make things that you can touch. Clothing is comparatively easier to produce than cars or food. Also, at first I worked with fur, and therefore I had experience with outerwear I just changed my fur coats for jackets.

Julia Ignatieva

CEO"Ewald Mebel"

I am a third generation furniture maker. To produce means to create, and this implies knowledge of the market, its gaps and the ability to fill them. I know other brands of furniture, especially sofas. We do not follow the path of copying, but supplement.

Angela Yankovskaya

General Director "Workshop Angel"

In 2001 my younger son was 3 years old, I decided to buy him a suit for the family new year holiday. As it turned out, nothing decent was offered in Russia: the quality of the costumes was terrible. They were only meant to be photographed once. I don't like low-quality things, so I had to make the suit myself, but the entrepreneur's eyes fell on the unmet need of the market. I couldn't sleep anymore.

By May, I had a collection of thirty suits that I myself designed, designed and sewn by a seamstress I knew. Then I called everyone large chains children's goods, they willingly made an order. After that, I opened production and shipped the first batch to these stores by the New Year.

Rail Khismatullin

President of the group of enterprises "Tentorium"

The motives that force businessmen to establish their own production are very different. But the main thing is always one thing. Business is business - it must generate income. Last but not least are the ambitions of businessmen. I personally wanted to create a production that could work for the whole world.

Production in Russia

The business of producing anything remains in demand even in times of crisis. Although the manufacturing sector itself is quite extensive, and its various branches have varying degrees development, and they react differently to changes in the economy.

Over the past 2015, Russian production as a whole decreased by 3.4% according to Rosstat. The reason for this is the depreciation of the Russian currency, the demand for part of the production, as well as the lack of investment and the debts of enterprises. The manufacturing industry and the fuel and energy complex were especially affected by these factors.

Although there were factors that influenced production positively. For example, the ban on the import of certain products from abroad led to an increase in the production of cheese, meat, poultry, fish and medical equipment. These areas have grown the most. But the volumes of production of jackets, as well as televisions and monitors, experienced the largest decline.

But anyway, the decline in Russian production won't last forever. At the end of 2015, economists predicted that its growth would begin closer to the end of 2016.

However, the manufacturing sector surprised experts. According to Rosstat, it showed an increase of 1% already in February of this year. The value, of course, is by no means large, but the trend towards a constant decline was nevertheless broken for the first time since January 2015.

Import substitution is still relevant. Therefore, if you are thinking about setting up your own production, pay attention to various products whose import into Russia is prohibited, or which have risen significantly in price due to a jump in the exchange rate.

Another option for working on import substitution is the creation of innovative products that are ahead of existing ones. western technology. This is especially true in the field of IT.

Igor Frolov

CEO of Northwestfur

If the decline continues, it is possible that manufacturers of cheap and expensive goods will remain afloat, goods for the middle class will simply disappear. Both manufacturers and sellers of such products must decide which of these two niches they should go. People will save money, more money is spent on food, so entertainment, clothing, cars will experience difficulties. And it is important to understand that this is not a temporary phenomenon that can be waited out, you need to start looking for your niche in the new reality and economy. Ideal if it is best product or service for little money.

So, the manufacturing business has a number of advantages, despite its high cost and complexity. That is why there are a lot of entrepreneurs starting a business in this area. At the same time, for many, the question “Should we open production?” not even worth it.

If you are not one of those purposeful creators, carefully weigh the pros and cons, evaluate the trends and needs of the market. And after that with clear conscience start your business.

Today there are various ways earnings. You can work in an organization of a narrow specialization or for a private entrepreneur. And you can organize your own business - a mini-production of any product. The payback of this type of activity depends on many factors.

production in the garage

Each person who has a garage space at his disposal tries to use it to organize own business. Production can be of different scales. It all depends on the skills of a novice businessman and his investment.

Today, the following products can be produced in the garage:

• metal structures;
• Construction Materials;
• various industrial and industrial goods.

Some businessmen manage to create a mini-alcohol plant for the production of alcohol.

Note. Illegal conduct of such activities threatens the entrepreneur with administrative punishment. Therefore, it is better to register everything.

Distillery at home

Initially, it is necessary to determine for what purposes the products will be produced. These areas may be:

• pharmaceuticals;
• production of alcoholic products;
• chemical industry;
• Perfumes and cosmetics.

It is also necessary to select raw materials for the production of alcohol. As a rule, in technological process use the following crops:

• corn;
• potato;
• sugar beets;
• fruit.

It is necessary to choose a supplier of high-quality raw materials so that the products meet all established standards(GOST).

Necessary equipment:

• distillation plant;
• mash tank;
• alcohol meters;
• separators;
• refrigeration units;
• thermoelectric heaters.

Today search specialized equipment relieved. There are a huge number of enterprises for its manufacture. It is only necessary to choose a seller who has the optimal cost of products.

Production of metal structures in the garage

Small business - production metal products in a utility room or garage. A novice entrepreneur should be able to:

• weld structural elements various types welding;
• process seams;
• correctly measure the dimensions of the product;
• paint qualitatively finished products.

Installation of metal structures is carried out by the entrepreneur himself or by employees. Despite this, knowledge of how structures can be fixed to any bases is necessary.

On the initial stage to establish production, you will need the following equipment:

• welding machine;
• grinder with additional nozzles;
• clamps;
• table for cutting and welding structural elements;
• vise.

Do not forget about auxiliary tools: a hammer, a corner, a tape measure, building level and others.

Note. measure parameters future design you can on your own.

Today, entrepreneurs produce the following products:

• gates (entrance and garage);
• gates;
• gratings;
• doors;
• fences of varying complexity;
• flights of stairs;
• decor elements.

For production, the following raw materials are used: metal pipes, corners, steel sheets, wire.

It is worth considering that simple design metal structures now you will not surprise anyone. Therefore, in the creation of certain products you need to use them. You can buy them in ready-made or make your own. This will require forges to heat the metal, special shapes, sledgehammer, tongs and other tools.

Ideas for mini-production of building materials

This type of activity is familiar to almost everyone today. The following materials can be crafted in the garage:

• foam block;
• aerated concrete;
• borders;
• paving slabs;
• concrete rings;
• manhole covers;
• grape columns;
• and much more.

That is, almost all small structures created on the basis of concrete mortar or natural clay.

Raw materials for the production of products:

• cement;
• sand;
• water;
• clay;
• additional components.

The latter include hardeners that allow the concrete mortar to harden much faster. As well as substances that improve the quality indicators of the concrete solution.

To equip a mini-workshop for this production, you will need the following:

• concrete mixer;
• forms for giving parameters to the product;
• auxiliary tools;
• vibrating table, which can be assembled independently;
• an ordinary table for laying out tools and forms.

The natural process of solidification of the concrete solution can last from one to three days. If you put a small chamber in the garage that will be heated, the finished product is obtained faster. Forms with concrete mortar placed in this chamber, where they are until the material is completely dry.

It would be useful to organize not only a mini-workshop, but also a small warehouse for storing finished products. In private households, this issue will not be a problem.

Hardware manufacturing

The production of fasteners in the garage is gaining more and more popularity. You can make bolts, nuts, studs and more. To do this, you need to install lathe with various nozzles, as well as additional equipment and tables. Such production can be put on the line, if the scale of the garage space allows.

Manufacture of products from wire

The ideas of mini-production from wire in the garage are quite diverse. Despite this, nails and chain-link mesh are often made. This requires special machines. This type of production is different in that it does not need to be put on stream. You can do one-time orders.

Plastic recycling

This business can be opened in your garage without investing large sums. As a rule, the capital for creation is limited to 50,000 rubles. It is necessary to purchase the following equipment:

• extruder;
• press compressor;
• shredder;
• injector.

The machines are assembled and adjusted independently. You can ask for help from a specialist in this field.

The main advantage of this mini-production idea is the availability of raw materials. Plastic waste is used in the manufacture: bottles, pallets and much more. All this can be recycled and create real masterpieces and stunning decor elements:

• flower pots;
• and other.

A prerequisite for this type of production is the imagination of the entrepreneur. Develop such a business with the help of friends and acquaintances.

Joinery production

Wood products today have gained particular popularity. All this is due to its quality indicators. Products serve for a long time, and also have an attractive appearance. Just now good master who would make products to order is quite difficult to find.

There is a lot of competition in this business, and you will have to earn a reputation initially. What can be produced from wood:

• interior and exterior doors;
• tables and chairs;
• cabinets and chests of drawers;
• wardrobes and beds;
• shelves and stands.

The range of products does not end there. It all depends on the imagination and abilities of a businessman, because you will have to start production on your own in order to save a little at the initial stage of development.

For production you will need the following:

• machines: turning, sawing, grinding;
• jointer;
• table;
• auxiliary tools.

If the products will be painted, it is necessary to allocate a separate room for work.

Lure buyers original design and quality of work. The more unusual the product, the more interest and delight it will cause.

Consumer Goods Manufacturing

Whatever happens in a person's life, he will provide himself with everything necessary. The group of consumer goods includes the following:

• products;
• shoes;
• clothes;
• household chemicals.

The types of production of each product are significantly different from each other.

Making products at home

Consumer goods were sold in past centuries. Only earlier the sales market was limited to neighbors and relatives. Now such home mini-production is developing on an industrial scale.

If the size of the landholding allows, you can grow vegetables, fruits, agricultural crops. On the this moment the state purchases finished products of these types for the purpose of processing or resale.

Note. Quite often the farmer works at a loss. This factor is due to rather large initial financial investments and misallocation.

It is for this reason that it is necessary to pre-calculate all the costs of doing business and draw up a business plan with project payback planning. You can do it yourself, but it is better to involve a specialist.

Ideas for mini-production of consumer products do not end there. You can produce dairy products. It should be noted that it is not necessary to keep livestock. It is enough to find a permanent supplier of high-quality raw materials.

It is possible to process milk and produce products from it only with the help of special equipment. Since such goods are considered perishable and belong to the first risk group for infection with harmful bacteria. The process must be followed.

Advice. This type of activity must be registered, and a license must be obtained for the production of products.

Tailoring of shoes and clothes

Perhaps this is the most common type of home production. It requires little investment, since all work is carried out directly at home in private room and the equipment is not too expensive. It is better to start with repairing products, earning a reputation for yourself. The competition in this area is quite strong. Over time, you can develop your production and switch to large volumes and the sale of finished products.

Mini bakery at home

Any housewife who can bake real culinary masterpieces dreams of opening her own production. You need to start small: bake buns or pies. Then you can move on to more complex products: cakes, pastries and other sweets. It will not be superfluous to show your imagination in the design of baking. How more interesting design and taste of products, the more buyers will become permanent.

For baking products, you need a high-quality oven. Preferably one that runs on electricity. Furnaces of this type have several heating elements located at the top, bottom and sides of the oven chamber.

Small business - the production of any product at home. Over time, you can move to new level, which provides for additional capital investments, and to produce products on an industrial scale.

In organizing your own production, you should not neglect the quality of products. It is also necessary to find suppliers of raw materials in advance and organize a sales market. Without due implementation products, further development and increase in business profitability are impossible.

It is profitable to organize a mini-production. The absence of the need for large financial investments, the purchase of a minimum amount of equipment and the relatively simple entry into the market allow you to make a profit in a short time.

The only caveat - the choice of the idea of ​​​​mini production for a small business should be approached carefully.

Today, the domestic labor market has a rather difficult situation. It is not easy to find a well-paid job in your specialty, and it is even harder to stay in it.

Therefore, the proportion of those who have decided to open their own business is steadily growing. On the provision of a certain list of services or trade to the population, it is possible to promote small business, which will bring a stable income.

However, far-sighted entrepreneurs with business experience rely on the prospects of their activities and the possibility of expanding them in the future by opening production workshops. We will figure out which mini-production for small businesses will be in demand in the conditions of Russian reality, where to start organizing it, and whether it is really impossible to do without huge cash injections.

Where to begin?

Always start over. Consider business ideas for small businesses. Before developing a business plan, calculating all the costs in it, working out strategies for the business to enter priority markets and analyzing the mistakes of competitors, you should decide on the type of activity.

Choosing the right niche is not easy, because you should take into account a lot of nuances:

• the competence of the owner in the created case;
• business popularity;
• the needs and specifics of the region;
• the number of competitors;
• available resources and capacities;
• distribution channels.

Having decided on a niche, think about how you can surprise consumers, what will make you stand out from the crowd of competitors. A "zest" in activity or a clear difference from analogues will provide a greater turnover.

What is profitable to produce

It is reasonable to produce the products that will always be in demand. It is better if it does not fall into the seasonal category (for example, umbrellas).

Profitable production for small businesses can be organized on medications, children's goods and food. Demand for these goods is stable and never falls.

But if for the first one you need to get a lot of permits, and for the second people can save money by borrowing things for babies from relatives and friends whose children have already grown up, then the food will always be bought up.

The question is that it should be in the line of main products and be designed for a consumer with an average income.

For example, a pie shop or a bakery near an office center, a pastry shop in the city center or near a park, a meat or sausage shop near markets have every chance of becoming a successful business for its owner.

It is promising to create a mini-production for the production of semi-finished products (pancakes, dumplings, dumplings, meatballs, pizza, vegetable mixtures, etc.).

Small workshop for the production of dumplings

Another area that consistently generates income is the production of items related to the provision of funeral services. Unfortunately, people die all the time, and the funeral process takes place using generally accepted paraphernalia. Therefore, the manufacture of wreaths, monuments, fences can bring a solid profit.

Be sure to take into account the specifics of the place (district, city) where you are going to organize production. The profitability of the company directly depends on this.

Always dreamed of opening your own production, but no money? Then - your real chance to become a manufacturer. Spheres of production, examples with descriptions, benefits of use.

You will find everything about opening an online store from scratch for free in the topic.

Deciding on an idea for a business is half the battle. After all, no one can guarantee you success. In this regard, a well-thought-out business plan can insure you. Here detailed instructions to create a business plan from scratch. Algorithm of drawing up, structure of the plan, advantages of planning.

Opening production: key questions

So, the scope of activity is defined and you are ready to start your own business.

It remains to solve matters with organizational issues.

Attention should be paid to the following issues:

1. Business plan development. This is an important document in which you need to prescribe as many details as possible to bring your idea to life. The most difficult are:

• The financial part, since it is necessary to form a budget, allocate costs, predict profitability.
• Marketing part requiring detailed description steps to promote a product / service, competitor analysis, pricing policy.
• The production part in which it is important to determine necessary equipment, without buying too much and replacing expensive equipment / tools / equipment with analogues of lower cost, but of decent quality.

1. Team. When planning the opening of a mini-production, it is better to look after the team in advance (perhaps from a circle of acquaintances, neighbors, former colleagues etc.). You need to enter the market quickly, so an unskilled staff that is not ready to work above the norm at first can “thwart plans” even for an enterprise doomed to success.
2. Available / owned capacities. If you have a garage, ground floor apartment or country house, it is advisable to save on renting premises to accommodate production. For example, a car repair shop can be placed in a garage, candles and soap can be produced in an apartment. self made, and in the country to produce building materials.
3. Registration. Every business must operate legal grounds. You can do the registration of an individual entrepreneur or LLC on your own or entrust it to a special company. Do not forget about various permits, licenses, as well as documents from the SES, fire inspection (if required).
4. Equipment. You should not save on quality, but on the name it is quite possible. Branded equipment is usually much more expensive. You can replace it with less hyped counterparts. The only thing is to purchase equipment for production when organizing a small business from trusted suppliers. Do not be lazy to make inquiries about a particular seller and, in fact, the product. Study carefully specifications, rules and operating conditions, as well as check the availability of certificates and warranty documents for the purchased equipment.
5. Start-up capital. The amount of funds required will be visible in the business plan. If there is not enough money, you can try to search for an investor (among the social circle, on specialized exchanges, with large shareholder companies). In general, the organization of a mini-production can take from 20 to 200 thousand rubles. on average depending on the type of activity.

Even taking into account the complexity of the organization, the creation of a mini-production is considered very promising. You don't need to have huge capital to do this. Some activities are easy to organize in own house or a garage, while others have a low cost in principle.

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

People who decide to go into private business face certain problems at the initial stage. What field of activity to choose? Where can you buy the right equipment? How to save?

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

Why is it worth buying a plant in a mini format?

Before you start your business in the manufacturing sector, 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 size compared to full-fledged plants, this equipment easy to assemble, install and transport.

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

Small dimensions.

This feature makes it possible not only to save on the rent of land and premises, but also, if necessary, without special costs change the location of the mini factory.

Small cash outlay to start a business.

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

This is probably main factor, which speaks of the benefits of such a business.

Relatively small economic costs allow you to create efficient enterprise, which is able to compete fully in the chosen field of activity.

But if you seriously approach the choice of a mini plant, then you can pick up equipment that will last you a long time. Besides, in recent times there are many Russian enterprises 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 even here there are nuances and peculiarities.

No. 1. Niche selection.

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

An important role in choosing the direction of business is played by competitiveness and demand in the region. 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 can make unique product in your region, the more likely it is to take a leading position in this area of ​​production.

No. 2. Business plan.

clear and competent compilation own business project is very an important factor in business activities.

• Methods of delivery of products to the consumer, transportation costs.
• Market search.
• Location of the mini-format plant, search for employees.

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

Everything else happens according to standard scheme: obtaining permission to open a mini-factory from various municipalities; checks of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, etc.

A positive impact on the speed of paperwork and obtaining permission from local authorities is the fact that your business is associated with social significance for the area. For example, a mini waste recycling 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

To date, there are many ideas for the development of small businesses in Russia using mini factories. Such popularity is due, first of all, to the need to make small cash investments in business development.

Also, many investors are attracted by the quick payback of the mini-plant.

Given the above reasons, there are several areas of production that are of great interest to Russian entrepreneurs:

Construction.

The most popular field of activity in our country, which contributes to the emergence great variety mini factories. There are separate units for the production of concrete, bricks, consumables 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. Waste recycling.

   This area of ​​activity, against the backdrop of worldwide concern about the state of environment, is gaining great popularity in the Russian Federation. A significant advantage of such a business is the approval of 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 (clothes, shoes), household goods, cosmetics, etc.

Whatever area of ​​production you choose, the main thing is to have knowledge in this area, analyze competitiveness and demand for goods. This will greatly increase the efficiency of your business.

Let's look at a few examples that use mini factory formats for small businesses.

Example #1. Brick production.

The cost of such equipment is from 1 million rubles and more. It should be noted that the cost of brick production is quite high. The purchase of one piece of equipment is not enough here - you will need miscellaneous equipment. Also, the purchase of raw materials takes a considerable amount of money.

For example, for the manufacture of 1,000 bricks, about 800 kg of cement, 300 liters of water and more than 3,000 kg of basic raw materials will be needed. The capacity of equipment for such a business is usually very high, which also requires high costs- for electricity.

As we can see, a mini brick plant requires considerable material costs. However, the "financial output" from such an enterprise is very good. Many start-up entrepreneurs subsequently expanded their business, which brought even greater profits.

Example #2. Feed production.

It is advisable to open such an enterprise in rural areas, closer to farm pastures. Thus, you will quickly gain a clientele and save on the delivery of goods.

This equipment carries out processing and crushing of grain (corn, wheat, barley, etc.). The quality of the product depends on the size of the crusher sieve to a greater extent. In the form of a room, you can use a garage or a barn. Heating is not required.

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

Example #3. Concrete production.

To organize such a mini plant, you will need a concrete mixer, with which you can get a high-quality product. This option is most likely perfect for large construction firms serving large facilities. This can greatly simplify the work of the organization and save money (no need to turn to third-party services).

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

To buy such equipment, it is not necessary to be the owner of a construction organization. It can also be purchased by a private entrepreneur to rent to the same construction companies.

Example number 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 mixing of the mixture occurs in such a way that peculiar bubbles form in the finished material. This is done using a foam generator.

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

The manufacture of foam blocks attracts many entrepreneurs and the fact that it does not require the use of any special technologies. The business is pretty simple and straightforward.

Example number 5. Milk processing.

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

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 be clearly aware of how much raw materials you will have. It depends on how much money you spend on the purchase of equipment.

To start such production, usually small workshops are organized.

Example number 6. Waste recycling.

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

Since this business area stands out increased attention state and is associated with the environment, it has some difficulties in paperwork. The bureaucratic process can drag on for several months. It is necessary to obtain a license from the Ministry of Ecology, permission from the sanitary and fire services, and much more.

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

For this you will need:

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

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

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