People decide to start their own business for a variety of reasons. Some are motivated by the desire to get out of the control of the boss, others by the possibility of self-realization, and still others by the pursuit of quick profits. Whatever the reason for this decision, it is important to find a business that will really help generate income and at the same time does not require large investments. In this article, we will tell you how to start your own business from scratch. Practical Tips help you get started on the right foot.

Where to start?

First, you need to immediately determine for yourself what the goal of starting a business is.

It could be:

• the ability to make decisions independently;
• striving for financial independence;
• a great incentive for self-development and self-realization.

During the birth of capitalism in Russia, in the early 90s, starting your own business was easier than it is now. Today, huge competition does not allow to join the ranks of the entrepreneurial elite so quickly, especially for those who do not have a large start-up capital.

Today, it takes much more effort to start your own business, and the idea itself must be relevant and original.

Of course, any person who decides to open his own business is afraid of making mistakes and suffering financial ruin at the very beginning of his activity.

This can be avoided by listening to the advice of experienced business consultants and successful businessmen.

1. Don't take out a loan to start a business.

Getting a loan very often precedes the start of a business, because sometimes a person can realize his startup idea only with the help of borrowed funds. However, this is a false path that will lead to financial ruin. IN best case, profits at the first stage of the company's activities will be enough to pay interest.

But for the development of business, increasing the pace and turnover, it is necessary to invest all the time. If the profit goes to pay interest on loans, then in a few months you will be faced with the fact that the business not only does not develop, but also declines.

In the worst case, taking a bank loan, you will not be able to repay it because of the payback period of the business. In various cases, the payback period can last from 6 months to 2-3 years. All this time, you will need to repay the loan and additionally invest in the development of the business.

If you have to apply for a loan to your friends or credit institutions, then remember that the loan should not exceed 50% of the starting capital. You should not offer your only home as collateral to the bank. Business may not be realized, and you will lose your home. Also, do not touch the strategic reserve of money "for black money", which is in any family.

For beginning businessmen it is very important to have a financial pillow for the first 5-6 months. After all, most likely, during this period of time, entrepreneurial activity will not bring income yet.

The way out is simple! It is necessary to draw up a competent business plan and involve investors in its implementation. In order to find people who really want to invest in your project, the idea must be original, fresh and relevant.

Prepare a competent business plan, which clearly indicates the essence of the project, the payback period and the necessary capital to start.

1. Start from the very first step, gradually rising up.

A lot of new entrepreneurs make a common mistake. They try to immediately take the upper bar, not understanding that it needs to be reached gradually.

Do not immediately set yourself the goal of implementing a huge corporation. Even if you have to engage in activities alone, you will gradually gain experience in this area and will think about expanding the business.

If you decide to open a car service, but do not understand anything in this area, then it is useful to work in a car repair shop as an employee for at least a few months. This will help you get an inside look at entrepreneurship and understand what to expect.

Competent business planning is the key to the success of any project.

It is impossible to enter the market without a carefully thought-out business plan, which carefully assesses external and internal risks, calculates the payback, takes into account weak sides projects.

Clearly describe the weaknesses of the project, so you will see the points that you need to pay close attention to, strengthen control, secure them, etc.

1. Improve your financial literacy. Since you have decided to go on an independent voyage, you need to learn the basics of law, tax accounting, accounting, economics, business planning, investment, etc. Of course, in each individual case, you can seek help from specialists, but this is not always reasonable.

Firstly, the services of professional consultants cost a lot and will require additional financial expenses.

And secondly, you must be at least at a basic level familiar with all business issues in order to competently answer investors' questions, correctly allocate resources, and plan the future activities of your company.

Study the theoretical basis of the market area you plan to enter.

Carefully analyze the market, the level of competition, the potential of the company. This will help to avoid possible mistakes and correctly distribute your forces at the very beginning of the activity.

When not to start your own business

According to experts and successful people, not every reason to start entrepreneurial activity help bring the idea to life.

Let's look at the main reasons why you should not open your own business:

• To pay off all loans and debts.
• Alignment with acquaintances and friends. If you do not feel internal motivation and strength, then you should not start a serious business.
• The desire to abruptly change jobs, quit.

These are the reasons that not only will not contribute to the competent development of the business, but will quickly nullify all efforts.

Where to start: step by step instructions

Step 1. We develop a business idea.

This is the most important stage on which the entire success of the enterprise depends. It is important to understand not only how you will earn, but also how your business will look to the consumer.

The uniqueness and originality of the proposal is important. But not always good earnings bring original creative ideas. You need to study the service market in the area where you live, and understand in which niche you can develop without much capital investment.

Step 2. We draw up a business plan.

We discussed how to write correctly in this article. Without this document, it will not be possible not only to demonstrate the idea to investors, but also to competently start entrepreneurial activity.

Step 3. We register IP.

Considering that in this article we are considering starting a business from scratch, we are not talking about another form of ownership.

Step 4. We select personnel.

If your business concept involves hiring people, then you cannot do without qualified specialists. Make a list of requirements that your employee must meet and start searching. Help to select staff will help a variety of electronic resources or specialized recruiting agencies.

Step 5. Launching a business.

The first steps may be associated with force majeure situations, mistakes and shortcomings. You need to be ready for this. Do not be afraid of difficulties and remember that anyone successful business preceded by a difficult start with many problems.

From how correctly you can assess the situation, analyze mistakes and develop further marketing strategy depends on the success of the company.

Ideas with minimal investment

Considering that you do not have initial capital, here we will look at business ideas that do not require serious investments.

1. Photographer

In order to start making money in this area, you will need to purchase professional equipment and take courses.

To start making money with photography, you need to have an artistic flair and understand photo technology a little more than the average guy or girl. If you meet these requirements, then the profession of a photographer will help you earn money without much investment.

Yes, you need to purchase equipment, the cost of which can vary between 1-2 thousand USD. But you can start small. Even a small reflex camera and there is enough light to start offering photo shoots.

If you are still far from the world of photography, you can get a job as an assistant to professional photographers to study this business “from the inside”. This will help you make the right contacts, assess the strengths and weaknesses of the business, and analyze the competitive market.

At the same time, take courses, seminars, webinars and master classes in photography.

Gradually, it will be possible to invest the money earned in the “upgrade” of equipment, raising the cost of their services.

This type of activity is interesting in that it can be constantly developed without stopping there. The collected portfolio will allow you to send work to well-known glossy magazines where you can be noticed and offered cooperation.

In parallel, you can upload photos on paid services and exchanges, having passive income from work.

1. Intermediary services. Earnings on trading floors (Avito, joint purchases)

The advantage of such a business is that you do not need to invest in a product. You provide intermediary services, advertising the Seller's goods and carrying out the sales process to the end consumer. Commission for intermediary services, as a rule, ranges from 5-10%. Gradually, with proper financial management, you will be able to reach a new level and earn on trading floors already as a Seller.

The process of entrepreneurial activity in this area consists of three stages:

• find a Supplier and agree on the sale of his goods;
• place an ad on your page;
• answer the letter (call) of the Client and carry out the transaction.

1. Internet business

We are talking about such a thing as freelancing. This business involves the provision of services on a paid basis through the Network. Think about what you could do (programming, copywriting, compiling advertising slogans, drawing, design, text translations, etc.). On average, a successful freelancer earns between $500 and $1,000 per month.

This area will be of particular interest to people who have high professional skills in any field (journalism, design, photography).

Without initial capital you can go “free floating” and start gradually building your own business, recruiting like-minded people to the team, train, provide consulting services, etc.

1. Creating a YouTube channel.

Of course, this is a very specific business and requires certain personal qualities from a person. It is necessary not only to think over the concept of the channel, to be an original, creative and purposeful presenter, but also to constantly work on the development of your channel.

To implement this business idea, you need to go through 5 simple steps:

• register a mailbox on the Gmail service;
• register a channel on Youtube;
• we come up with a concept and main idea channels *culinary, sports, entertainment, business consultations, etc.);
• filming video with a camcorder;
• loading.

Here, the reader, for sure, will have a reasonable question: “What is a little income?”. Bloggers make money this service two ways:

• Ads from products that are advertised in the video itself (partners pay).
• The payment of the service itself for the popularity of the channel (depends on the number of views).

In order to start making money on Youtube, you need to connect an affiliate program and fulfill several conditions:

• Confirm your authorship. To do this, the channel must contain at least 20 works of authorship.
• Each video clip must have at least 1000 views.
• Get at least 1,000 followers.

Many popular bloggers, having reached a certain level, hire a team of employees who write scripts, edit videos, shoot, etc.

Video. Earnings on YouTube

Today, this is a very popular type of service on the market, which brings a good income, but does not require serious investments. All that is needed for implementation is to complete the courses of a nail service master (massage, eyebrow shaping, make-up, etc.), purchase professional tools and rent a room in a beauty salon.

Do not think that beauty salons that require large investments are your direct competitors. Today, it is narrowly specialized salons that are in greatest demand. This niche is not fully occupied and allows you to successfully start and develop.

With a minimum investment of money and a quality approach, the payback of such a business is 1-2 months.

The easiest way to start such a business is a salon at home, but despite the minimal investment, there are drawbacks to this approach. Firstly, not every client will agree to come home to the master for the service, and secondly, this activity will be very limited, not allowing to increase profits.

1. Repair of apartments or service "master for an hour".

Certainly, this business more suitable for men and requires a certain skill and knowledge of the basics of repair and construction work.

Your business does not require a large investment. It is enough to spend 300-400 dollars on a basic tool with which you can do the first work. Gradually investing money in your skills and tools, you can move to the elite level, raising prices.

This business allows you to develop, recruit a team, gradually becoming a manager. But for a successful start, it is necessary to carefully analyze the competition market in order to correctly determine the pricing and niche of services.

1. Cleaning service.

But this kind of activity is more suitable for women. Also, with a minimum investment of money, you can start earning on the provision of cleaning services for houses, apartments, offices.

With proper skill, a neat professional approach and a well-built marketing plan, you can also count on expanding activities, recruiting employees, reaching a new level as a manager.

The fact is that, despite the minimum investment, this business will allow you to quickly reach a good stable profit. The market for cleaning services is still a free niche, which allows start-up companies to start quickly and successfully. But you need to be prepared for the fact that the flow of customers will not immediately go, the “word of mouth” effect should work, or you will have to invest serious money in advertising.

Video. Opening a cleaning company

You don't have to own your own to rent out a home. How often have you seen an ad that states that a person will rent a house without intermediaries?

What is the essence of the work? In search of clients for rent, rent housing. As a rule, intermediary services bring from 5-10% of the value of the property.

For a big city where the market commercial real estate widely developed, such specialists are in high demand. This activity requires a lot of effort, because you have to constantly look at ads, analyze the housing market, meet with homeowners, clients, and make deals.

The advantage of such activity is the absence of the need for initial capital.

This business also allows you to develop. Over time, having gained experience and assessed all the "pitfalls" of this activity, you can rent an office, recruit a team of employees and provide real estate services at a more professional level.

You can focus not on renting out housing, but on selling. This will significantly increase your income.

In this article, we have considered only a small part of the business ideas of entrepreneurial activity from scratch. More about 10 better ways earn without starting capital read In this article.

Why I decided to write this article

Because many who ask me questions ask something that at first you shouldn’t even bother at all. There are even questions that a person may never face at all. In general, “Woe from Wit” occurs in the minds of many novice entrepreneurs, and we will “eliminate” this grief in this article. At least I'll try my best. Now let's talk about mistakes, and then I will give a step-by-step plan as I see it.

Some errors and their solutions

1. Break-even point not calculated

Many start a business without even considering how much in what period they need to sell in order to break even. This is important because many business models are cut off at this stage.

Calculating the break-even point is easy. You consider how much you incur expenses per month and then consider how much you need to sell goods or provide services per month in order to recoup these expenses. If the figure is too large and seems unrealistic to you, then it is better not to take on such a business. If you think you can sell right amount goods to cover expenses or start covering expenses in a few months, then you can think about this business further.

Conclusion 1: Until you have a complete financial picture of the business in your head, you can’t borrow money or even use your savings.

2. Everything must be perfect

At the beginning of your business, you want everything to be right and beautiful: the most modern equipment is bought, the most functional website is created, the office is repaired, etc.

Striving for the best is useful, but there is one “BUT” - before you spend money, check the performance of your business model. If you are going to make an expensive website design, first make sure that your services or products are in demand at all.

Or, if you're opening a coffee shop, before making expensive renovations, try to start selling in the space you have. minimum investment. If sales go on and a place in this area of ​​the city will bring at least some profit, then you can expand or make a cool renovation.

Conclusion 2: Don't invest a lot of money until you're sure people want the product. And you don’t need to bring everything to perfection, thereby delaying the start. Start with what you have and gradually develop and improve.

3. Not understanding your future business or simply no love

I personally think that a business should at least like it. For example, I love each of my business projects, and if I didn’t love them, they wouldn’t turn out to be profitable.

Some start-up entrepreneurs write me questions like “What to sell”, “What services are profitable to provide”, “What kind of business is profitable to do”, etc. I answer everyone: "Open your own bank." And no one likes my answer, although it answers all these questions. Every entrepreneur has a different life situation, different interests and different knowledge. If one likes selling toys and the other likes selling men's suits, then they won't be able to switch businesses and be as successful. This is because they do not understand the model itself and simply do not feel interested.

Conclusion 3: You can't build a business on an idea just because you just know it's profitable and you're not interested in it. Business needs to be understood, loved and “be in the know”. For example, I could not open a massage parlor and lead the business to success. Not because I don't have enough money, but because I don't understand anything in this business.

How to start your own business - 10 steps from scratch

To begin with, I want to say that below I will give 2 plans on how to start your business: complete and simplified. Let's start with the complete.

Step 1. Business Idea

Of course, to start a business, you need to know what to start. I have always said, I say and I will say that an entrepreneur must have an idea. If you can't even come up with an idea, then what kind of business are you talking about. It is not necessary to be an innovator and come up with something unimaginable. You can take an already working idea, look around, find flaws in it, or simply improve it the way YOU see it and it will be a different business. It is easier to enter a formed market than to form it yourself. And the idea should not be global, you can start a micro business or.

In order to come up with or find a business idea, read the following articles and after reading you will 100% decide on the idea:

After the articles are read, the ideas are thought up, you can proceed to the next step.

Step 2. Market Analysis

After choosing a business idea, you need to analyze the market, find out if people really need your product. Assess the competition, identify positive and negative sides competitors, find in yourself what will make you different from your competitors. Compare prices, quality of service, assortment (if it is a commodity business) and look to the maximum for what you can be better at. It is necessary. Why? Read!

Once you have assessed the supply and demand and realized that you can compete with existing companies, you can move on.

Step 3. Business Planning

Step 5. Registering your business

This step cannot be missed, because the business must be registered. You can use LLC or IP. It all depends on your activity. This article will help you:

Once your business is set up, you can move on to the next step.

Step 6. Taxes and reporting

I indicated this step right away, because you must initially decide on which taxation system you will work with. This must be done immediately, because the amount of taxes and how they are paid depend on it. To do this, read the following articles:

And also read other articles of the heading, because there you will always find up-to-date and complete information on the conduct of tax and accounting. You can also ask your question and get an answer from a specialist.

Step 7. Quick idea testing

Someone will say that you can test without registering a business. And you are right! It is possible and so, but it was not in vain that I wrote at the very beginning that there would be 2 scenarios for the development of events, and in the second I will talk about it. Now let's move on to testing itself.

Initially, you need exactly quick testing - “testing in battle”. With your own money, test the idea, give minimal advertising, make the smallest possible product and try to sell it. Study demand in practice so to speak. You have to look into your plan, estimate what you need at the minimum in order to get started and start right away. Why is this being done. At the very beginning, I wrote about one of the mistakes of novice entrepreneurs, which consists in delaying the start, in constant improvements, etc. You don’t need to bring it to perfection, you need to start as soon as possible in order to test the idea in action, get the first sales and be inspired to continue development.

If the start does not give the first sales, then you need to revise the plan, idea and look for errors. A quick start is also done so that in case of failure you spend less time, effort and money. Agree, it would be more annoying to prepare for a year, and then fail? It is less offensive to realize your mistakes right away, while you still have little time to do. So you can make adjustments along the way and everything will start to work out!

To test ideas and your business can help you. It is more for testing ideas on the Internet, but it is also suitable for the real sector (offline).

Step 8. Business Development

After the tests have been carried out, the plan has been adjusted and sales have started slowly, you can develop your business and refine everything that you wrote in the plan to perfection. Now you can improve the site, increase warehouses or office, expand staff, etc. When your idea and business model has shown its performance, it is easier for you to set more global goals. Moreover, you have already received the first money from the first orders or sales and can reinvest them in development.

If there is not enough money, then here you can already resort to loans and borrowings, because business brings money and you can borrow with a clear conscience for its development. If you don't need much money, even a credit card might work. In I told how you can use credit card money for your business without interest.

Step 9. Active promotion

This step could be attributed to development, but I took it out separately. After you have wider warehouses, more powerful equipment and site, more employees, etc., you need to make it all work. This requires aggressive advertising to the maximum. You have to use a lot of promotional opportunities. Look for clients on the Internet, do offline advertising, do direct sales, etc. The more advertising tools you use, the better result. But be sure to record the results and filter out ineffective advertising tools so as not to waste your budgets.

Step 10 Scaling

Your business is doing well, making money, you are constantly developing, everything is great! But there are also adjacent areas or neighboring cities. If your business model is successful in your city, then you can make representative offices in other cities. If there is no desire or opportunity to go to neighboring cities, then you can simply capture an adjacent direction, if there is one at all.

For example, if you sell household appliances, you can simultaneously open a repair service and provide paid services for repair. If your client's equipment is beyond repair, you can always offer him to buy something from your store in exchange. In general, look at your business and I am sure that you will find something to cling to.

What else can you pay attention to

During the launch of a business, there are several parameters that allow you to evaluate how effective your business is at the start, take them seriously:

If the net income of your business is above zero, excluding equipment costs and taxes, then your business will survive because it generates some money. If it is below zero, it means that your business is burning money, and it will not have enough loans and investments;

If you planned sales for 200,000, and sell for 50,000, then this is an occasion to seriously adjust your work and, possibly, the plan itself;

You should be comfortable. Business is hard. If you, too, are constantly having a hard time, then it will be difficult to cope with the tasks of the business. Make sure you are comfortable enough so that you don't feel left out. own business.

How to start and open your own business in a simplified way

As promised, I will give another simplified diagram of how to start your own business. Because I have already written all the points above, so I will refer to them here so as not to repeat myself.

I myself have used this scheme more than once, because before I started very small projects in which a lot could be missed. So the schema looks like this:

1. Idea (it should always be);
2. Easy planning, you can not paint, but fit the main points on a sheet of notebook. It is done in order to draw a model;
3. Quick idea test. Perhaps even without investments and search for money. Or very little money will be required and they will simply be in your savings;
4. Development and active promotion. After the first orders are, you can start active promotion and bring everything to mind;
5. Business registration and scaling.

As you can see, I missed registration at the very end, because some business projects can be implemented without registration, because during the test you don’t get so much money to immediately run for them to report to the tax office. But if the business model has shown its performance and, after active promotion, it is growing, then the design should be instant.

But you still can’t do without registration even at the first stages if you need a retail space, an office or work with companies under contracts, because for this you need at least an individual entrepreneur.

Conclusion

In this article, I told you how to start your own business, talked about the mistakes that beginners often make and I made, and now you know what to do before starting your own business. Read my site, subscribe to it, and try to start doing your own thing. We will not leave anyone on the site without help. Thank you for your attention!
