Of course, the idea does not claim to be unique, however, having called all the ads for the sale of greenhouses and greenhouses, I was faced with the fact that in my city no one offers this, even close to my idea. This means that there is a small, but a chance that a business idea can develop into that very real business that brings stable income. And if I can do it, you can do it too!

Greenhouses and greenhouses are a rather narrow niche, but small and medium business. Manufacturers who make ready-made kits with artistic names, such as - "Dewdrop", "Cossack", "Spring", "Cucumber", "Snowdrop" or, something utilitarian - "Farmer", "Taster", "Harvest" or "Gardener". The small business that resells these products provides additional installation services. On what, in fact, he earns.

And everything happens because the demand for such structures is consistently high. Most of Eurasia, where Russia picturesquely lies and the countries former USSR, in agricultural books and manuals for gardeners, most of the territories are described as areas with risky farming. That is, in the dry language of numbers - “Every spring we plant eight bags of small ones, and then in the fall we dig eight bags of large ones ...” So local gardeners go to all sorts of tricks, such as using early or cold-resistant varieties of cultivated plants, growing seedlings on windowsills, and arranging greenhouses. structures in their areas. This, to some extent, compensates for the risks of agriculture presented by the nature of the country.

By the way, most of the inhabitants, to whom I also consider myself, often do not see the difference between a "greenhouse" and a "greenhouse". And, despite the similarity of designs, there are two big differences between them.

Greenhouse- usually small-sized structures used seasonally to protect cultivated plants from the effects of external adverse factors. Most often, due to seasonal use, greenhouses operate without additional heating, lighting and irrigation systems. They differ in shape, design and size. The smallest - bed greenhouses, are used to cover the beds in early spring and cold days during the season. Their design is primitive - on arcs stuck into the ground, from any suitable material, a covering fabric (film or geotextile) is stretched. As necessary, the canvas is removed, and the arcs are removed. Large stationary greenhouses are stationary structures that have a solid frame (HDPE pipes, wood or metal), covered with film material, glass or polycarbonate. They can occupy areas of several tens of square meters; they are not removed during the off-season. For the most part, they are used in private households and garden plots.

Greenhouse- this is a large stationary heated, and therefore insulated, greenhouse, often with additional lighting and an irrigation system. Unlike seasonal greenhouses, greenhouses are used for year-round cultivation of cultivated plants. Are applied to industrial cultivation of vegetables and fruit. Greenhouse complexes can occupy an area of ​​several hectares. Most often they are a professional business tool, they are rare in private households. Since their functioning is a complex process that requires control and high material costs. That is, they, with a diligent owner, should pay off, which means that cultivated plants should be grown in greenhouses, on an industrial scale. Or it is owned by a rich person, where he does not grow fruits and vegetables, but breeds exotic plants. Then such greenhouses are called greenhouses and winter gardens.

Having decided - what is the difference between a greenhouse and a greenhouse, we can conclude that it is more profitable to deal with greenhouses. There is more demand for them. Although the construction of private greenhouses promises more best earnings several tens of thousands of rubles. But, alas, there can be zero such clients per season, and this number usually does not change over a couple of seasons. Whether business hotbeds! This is where dozens, if not hundreds, of calls a year, when the spring-summer season comes. There is where to earn!

Business idea - production of individual greenhouses

So, my ready-made business idea for the individual manufacture and installation of greenhouses. Ready-made frame structures, produced on an industrial scale, will not surprise anyone. They are, roughly speaking, sold at any local market. Kits for self-assembly. Particularly inept customers can order additional service the seller will assemble and install the greenhouse on site.

However, subjectively, most of them have several drawbacks caused by culture and production features - they standard sizes, the material of construction and their assembly leaves much to be desired. That is, many ready-made greenhouses offered on the market are rather short-lived. In pursuit of profit and competition, manufacturers save on everything - thinner metal, thinner paint, simpler fittings. Clients, as they say, vote with their rubles.

So there are products on the market, the cost of which - "penny" - does not exceed ten thousand rubles (do not forget that the cost includes the profit of the manufacturer and seller, that is, the cost of the material lies in the region of 2-3 thousand rubles).

The client, buying such a greenhouse, is satisfied for several seasons, and then the “struggle for the harvest” begins. So, for example, during a particularly snowy winter, some structures may break arcs that cannot withstand the weight of snow. Or, due to internal high humidity, paint first flies off the frame material, then the structures rust. The result is known - the greenhouse at one fine moment "folds" and cannot be restored. The private trader again goes to the market and is already buying a greenhouse at a higher price.

Expensive greenhouses are reliable, durable, have other good qualities- type of ventilation, reinforced arcs, a sliding roof, and the like. The price, however, can reach several tens of thousands of rubles. True, and you can’t argue with this, the production shortcomings of the mass sector remain. Typical dimensions of the structure with meter multiplicity. On the site allocated for a greenhouse, 5 meters 40 centimeters long, a typical 5-meter greenhouse fits. The remaining strip of land of 40 centimeters is given over to weeds. Or the geometry of the site does not allow you to install a rectangular base structure on it, an L-shaped greenhouse is required.

Therefore, it is always more pleasant for the owner of a non-standard site to install a greenhouse immediately on the spot, taking into account all sizes, features and requirements. This is where my business comes into play. The essence of which is to assemble the metal frame of greenhouses for the customer.

The material component of the business is quite simple. That is, what is needed for such a thing.

Ready-made unpainted arcs from a pipe of any profile are sold at 300-800 rubles apiece. An inverter welding machine allows you to weld metal tolerably even without special knowledge of the basics of welding. It is enough to purchase a welding inverter and read the instructions on how to use it. Then a little practice and you can start earning. The cost of such a device does not exceed 7 thousand rubles. Rust enamel paints are sold at any hardware store and can be applied without a primer, directly onto the metal. The price is from 200 rubles for a 0.9-kilogram jar. Cellular polycarbonate is also sold wherever people live. Metal pipes for crossbars and bases will be cut for you in any metal rolling with an accuracy of millimeters. The cost of rolled metal is from 50 rubles per linear meter. So, everything is ready to start the business.

What should be done in this business?

Work with your hands. Come to the customer's site. You take measurements, draw a sketch, discuss the features, receive an advance payment and get to work.

Prepare the site, level it, drive in lugs or mini-piles according to the level, you can concrete the metal support platforms. Weld the base to them according to the measurements that you made in advance when you took the prepayment. Attach the finished arcs to the base, tie them with crossbars - welding, bolts - whatever you like best. What is faster and more reliable in your opinion.

Why, you ask, is it better to use ready-made arcs at the start of a business? Because their geometry is the same, and their dimensions exactly match the dimensions of cellular polycarbonate sheets. And a pipe bending machine, if you plan to bend arcs on the spot, will not pay off very soon. Especially if you are going into making greenhouses, in 90% of these cases you will make the arcs standard - a semicircle, 4x3 meters, 6x3 meters and so on. This means that at the beginning of the season, it is easier to purchase ready-made arcs. But only later, in the off-season, you can buy a pipe bender and bend yourself right amount arcs. You can even open a side business, sell ready-made arcs. But, more about that later.

After Assembly metal frame in the desired geometry - paint it a couple of times. Three days later, when the paint dries, mount sheets of cellular polycarbonate. Next we hang fittings, doors, windows, vents. And hand over the finished greenhouse to the customer. More precisely, the remainder of the cost is obtained. A greenhouse is being built on his site, which means that he himself evaluates all stages of installation.

If the customer needs a greenhouse not in a semicircle on arcs, but a gable or other non-standard shape, then even arcs are not needed, it is enough to cut pepper and other rectangular pipes according to preliminary measurements and drawings. Then weld the frame and complete all the necessary assembly steps.

The main advantage is that such greenhouses are more reliable. Firstly, you can use a pipe of any section and any shape. You are precisely tied to the size of the customer. You can realize any fantasy of the client - two windows in the greenhouse, three doors, a removable section on the roof and the like. A greenhouse with the letter "G" or "P", partial glazing instead of polycarbonate, a wide and high door, or a set, and so on.

Initial costs required to start a business: 7,000 rubles for a welding machine; 1000 rubles for gasoline. To advertise on bulletin boards is priceless, that is, free of charge.

The cost of such greenhouses may be lower than that of ready-made frames in the store. For example, the frame of a greenhouse, 6x3 meters in size, now costs about 9,500 rubles. The assembly kit consists of 5 arcs, 2 “sidewalls” and a strapping in the form of crossbars and a base.

Let's count the same set, assembled independently. Five arcs * 400 + 2 "sides" * 1000 + strapping, approximately, from 15 crossbars of 200 rubles each = 800 + 2000 + 3000 = 5800 rubles. Additional costs for painting and fasteners = 1000 rubles. That is, for 9500 you can assemble a complete analogue of the above greenhouse, but for you it will cost 6800, and everything above is your profit for work. At the same time, your greenhouse will be more reliable, due to welding and precise assembly on site.

In addition, for the assembly of a ready-made store kit, managers ask for an additional fee - 2-4 thousand rubles. Increasing the final cost to 13,500 rubles. So, your greenhouse for 9500, and even for 11500 rubles, is out of competition. Therefore, if you correctly describe your business, your demand will be higher than for ready-made kits.

After assembling several greenhouses, word of mouth will talk about you, especially if your services are of high quality. You don't know any other way, do you? ;)

In the off-season, you can do pre-sale preparation - bend arcs, cut metal to the desired size, weld doors, vents and other additional elements. I also recommend that you collect pre-orders so that you can immediately start earning in the spring. Such a pre-order for the client will cost less, due to the fact that in the off-season the cost of the material is, at least a little bit, but cheaper.

Home production of fresh organic vegetables in greenhouses is gaining popularity every day. There is an economic rationale for this:

• firstly, products are becoming more expensive every day;
• secondly, more and more people care about their healthy diet.

Today, the consumer thinks about what products they consume, while they are ready to purchase high-quality fresh vegetables. In addition, economic realities make certain adjustments. It becomes more expedient to buy domestic products than imported ones.

The market for agricultural products quickly responds to changes in demand. As a result, new greenhouse farms appear in all regions, developing at a rapid pace. Under these conditions, the greenhouse business has interesting prospects for development.

The target audience of such a business is quite diverse:

• summer residents who want to grow vegetables as a hobby, that is, for their own needs;
• small farms, for which growing vegetables is another source of income;
• large greenhouse complexes engaged in vegetable growing on an industrial scale.

Depending on the size and purpose, both the design of the greenhouse and its equipment will differ. If in the first case the simplest design is enough, then for industry the greenhouse should be equipped professionally, because the success of the business and its competitiveness depend on it.

In addition, the design of a polycarbonate greenhouse can be successfully used for other purposes, which will significantly expand the range of consumers. This is described in detail at the end of the article.

Production of polycarbonate greenhouses as a business

Greenhouses made of cellular polycarbonate are actually the most demanded on the market today. This is due to the cheap source material, as well as its fairly good performance properties. It does not break as easily as glass, but at the same time it is able to provide maximum penetration of the sun's rays. In addition, polycarbonate has good heat saving performance.

The service life of polycarbonate is 30-35 years, which is an excellent indicator with which no other material alternative to glass for the manufacture of greenhouses can compete. But not every type of polycarbonate is suitable for making greenhouses. Types are divided according to the structure scheme:

Type 2R is not immediately suitable, as it is too weak. Types 3RX and 6RX are the most durable, but their transparency cannot provide sufficient sunlight transmission, which is very important for greenhouses. Therefore, the best option is 3R or slightly stronger than 5R. The same sheet thickness can significantly differ in structure. When choosing a material, be sure to pay attention to the structure!

To start a business, you will need a small set of equipment.

Do-it-yourself equipment for the production of greenhouses:

1. Manual pipe bending machine PROMA TR-04 0001. It will be needed for the manufacture of a frame made of steel pipes. The cost of a pipe bender for greenhouse production is $250. However, it may vary depending on the level of its performance and functionality.
2. Cutting pendulum machine. It cuts steel pipes and profile. The cost of the simplest device starts from $300.
3. Professional jigsaw Metabo STEB 135 plus $270 for cutting polycarbonate at home. This jigsaw model has a well-thought-out sawdust suction system, which cools the blade to some extent. Professional polycarbonate cutting is performed by a laser, you just need to have the skills to use this expensive tool. The laser may leave charred, fused edges at the incision site due to the high temperature.
4. Drill.
5. Screwdriver.
6. Spanners.
7. Measuring devices: tape measure, caliper, goniometer.

The total cost of the starter kit is $650. With such equipment, you, of course, are unlikely to be able to master the industrial scale, but to produce greenhouses for private orders and small farms You can do it.

The process of making a greenhouse

Making a greenhouse is subject to any owner who has minimal skills in working with tools. It consists of the following steps:

• preparation and planning of the structure;
• base frame assembly;
• fixing polycarbonate sheets;
• installation of a greenhouse on the site.

First you need to plan the whole structure. The structure and shape of the base depends on its size, as shown in the diagram:

The manufacture of the frame base is the most crucial stage, because the service life of the entire structure, its reliability and functionality depend on the quality of its implementation.

Pipes are taken for the frame, steel profile different sections or fittings. The metal base is radially bent, giving it desired shape, and are fixed together with connecting crosses and tees. See the following diagram:

If the base consists of a square, and not a pipe, then the crosses for fastening are of the following type:

Now it remains to fill the foundation and install the finished structure, although there are greenhouses installed without a foundation. Windows and doors are inserted into the finished greenhouse. Now you can start using it.

The average cost of such a greenhouse, subject to its self-manufacturing, is at the level of $ 7 / m 2 (without installation). A finished greenhouse in the minimum configuration costs about $ 10 - $ 12 per 1m 2 on the market (without installation).

Creating a greenhouse microclimate

Making and installing a greenhouse is only part of the process. This is enough for growing cucumber tomatoes in the country, but if you want more, then you should take care of additional equipment for greenhouses. We are talking about the installation of equipment for heating, ventilation and lighting. Here is the cost finished products and business as a whole can improve significantly. That is this business can be significantly scaled not only by quantity, but also by the quality of products, creating the widest range of products. The greenhouse can be equipped with various devices to create the most favorable conditions for growing large crops. Schematically it can be shown like this:

There are also many ways to heat greenhouses. Someone heats with gas or electricity. More advanced farms are mastering energy-saving technologies: heating with the help of recuperation and the use of their own generated heat, the use of heat pumps, etc. This method allows you to save up to half of the heating budget, while making it possible to grow vegetables all year round. Some manufacturers offer the most economical support option optimal temperature due to the design features of the thermos greenhouse, which uses the heat / cold of the earth and retains heat with IR radiation screens. Seen in detail in the diagram:

At the stage of business development, it is possible to offer customers the simplest, but very useful components: a thermal drive for automatic ventilation and LED lighting.

Thermal drive for greenhouses

This device works without electronics and this is its simplicity, efficiency and reliability. The thermal actuator is a rod stop hydraulic cylinder, which contains a low-boiling liquid. When the temperature rises, the liquid expands and squeezes the rod out of the hydraulic cylinder, which opens the window or the door of the greenhouse. When the temperature drops, it closes. Here you should not save on quality, because the fate of the crop to some extent depends on the thermal drive. They should be chosen with thin cylinders, as the liquid will be more sensitive to temperature changes.

LED lamps for greenhouses

The situation with lighting connection looks similar. Standard incandescent lamps are an inefficient way to extend daylight hours in a greenhouse. Their low cost captivates here, however, the operation of such lamps ends up being quite expensive, given the fact that you will have them working for about 5 hours daily.

An alternative is LED lighting. Yes, a special LED lamp for greenhouses is much more expensive than usual, but at the same time it has two indisputable advantages:

1. The service life of the LED lamp is 10 times longer than conventional.
2. Minimal energy consumption allows you to light your greenhouse for as long as you need without feeling the strain on your budget.
3. Allow lighting at reduced voltage.
4. Reliably protected from mechanical damage during operation (from accidental impacts, etc.).
5. The LED has an emission spectrum close to that of the sun.
6. You can programmatically adjust the radiation pattern and the wavelength of the radiation, which allows you to increase the yield by 1.5 times.
7. They are much more efficient than fluorescent lamps.

In central Russia, greenhouses are indispensable. They are used by both amateur gardeners and professional farmers. Quality and functionality, of course, they are different. On the market today there are many models of different shapes and from a variety of materials. Due to the constant demand for these structures, it is possible to open profitable business. This will require necessary equipment and production areas for the production of greenhouses.

What equipment to choose for the manufacture of greenhouses?

For the production of polycarbonate greenhouses, you will need a fairly spacious room. The technology consists of two stages:

• frame manufacturing (for this, profile pipes are used, with dimensions of 20x20 or 25x25);
• flooring of polycarbonate sheets on the base.

To work, you need the following equipment:

Of the special equipment, the last position can be distinguished. Pipe bender is also called profile bender or pipe bender profile pipe. This equipment is classified as a roller device, due to the system for feeding the workpiece for bending. For industrial purposes, three-roller machines are most often used. They allow you to bend workpieces to large radii. Standard equipment allows you to do this in one plane. There are additional devices that make it possible to bend profiled pipes even in a spiral.

There is also a manual version of such equipment. It is suitable only for very small workshops. IN serial production its use is unprofitable. However, small production has its own reason. This makes it easier to make designs to order - according to the size and preferences of the client. For example, you can install a small greenhouse that large enterprises not issued.

Most of all the equipment of CML and Ercolina firms is in demand in the market. They are characterized by reliability, durability and economical energy consumption. There are models that are equipped with microprocessor control. They quite accurately repeat the specified dimensions of the workpieces. Construction time is significantly reduced.

Of the domestic equipment, the line of automatic cold profiling LA 157 is noteworthy. Its productivity is 350 parts per hour, which are three meters long. The thickness of the tape is from 0.5 to 2 mm, and the width is from 50 to 210 mm. You can change the appearance of the produced profile by changing the tooling on the line. It can have a different cross section, be closed or open, profiled.

Domestic manufacturers often assemble lines according to customer specifications. Taking into account the characteristics of the future product, they complete the equipment with the necessary components and assemblies. Profiling is achieved by adding punching or piercing devices to the line. Cold-formed profiles have hooks and stiffeners. With the help of such a line, it is possible to produce arched and tunnel greenhouses for various purposes.

Greenhouse manufacturing technology

The two main components of any greenhouse are the frame and the cover. Previously, the base was made of wood, and the entire structure was covered with film or glass. Today, there are modern materials that can make the conditions in the greenhouse more acceptable to plants. The very same design of them is quite light and mobile. An example of such a material is polycarbonate.

With the help of a welding machine, the parts are connected. They are customized and dyed. The installation of polycarbonate itself occurs most often in the area where the greenhouse is installed. In the workshop, it is necessary to provide for all the small details: fasteners, fittings, slots for window vents and more.

An important factor in the manufacture of greenhouses is its design. It should be borne in mind that the distance between the arcs and the number of horizontal guides determines what snow load the finished product can withstand. The time and quality of installation of the structure on the site depends on how accurately all the details are made in the workshop.

Polycarbonate production

Polycarbonate can be purchased ready-made from the manufacturer, or you can organize your own production. Then it will be possible to expand the range of its products and even make industrial hydroponic greenhouses. The polycarbonate production line is a complex piece of equipment. It consists of the following units:

The cost of such a line starts from 650 thousand rubles. The price depends on the power of the extruder, the speed of drawing the blanks and the performance of the pulling device. Modern lines make it possible to produce high-strength plastic, which is in demand in the production of greenhouses.

One of the easiest ways to start your own business can be the idea of ​​starting your own business in a garage. Now there is a wide variety of activities for organizing production in the garage or providing the most various services visitors - and usually such a thing requires relatively little cost. Find out how to open your own garage business and what are the ideas and business plans for this line of business.

Business in the garage - how to open your own business

Owning a garage business is one of the most popular ways to start. entrepreneurial activity which is by no means unpromising even in the long run. Many of today's most famous brands and trademarks began their existence in the form of a "garage" business - even companies such as Apple or Harley Davidson at one time were just small private workshops created almost on one enthusiasm. It was the enthusiasm and personal skills of the entrepreneur himself, in most cases, that became the main engines of future success.

The garage business as a whole is characterized by several characteristics, some of which are clearly positive, while others are negative in comparison with other ways of doing business. Therefore, before proceeding with the direct opening of a business in a garage, you should carefully weigh the pros and cons. The advantages of a garage business include:

• Availability and minimum start-up capital. If you own a garage, as well as certain tools and practical skills, you can open a business with minimum investment much cheaper than in most other situations.
• Possibility of self-realization. In most cases, a garage business is opened in accordance with personal skills, abilities and passions. Therefore, the opening of such a business will allow self-realization in the preferred direction of activity, the most effective use and development of existing skills, and receive income from the business with minimal inconvenience.
• Ease of registration and the ability to test a business without it. Although state registration is mandatory for businessmen, you can check the relevance of an idea simply by offering services or goods own production neighbors or acquaintances - it will not be necessary to register a business for such a “test” stage.
• Potential for production. In most cases manufacturing business it is very difficult to organize in ordinary premises, on the territory of households or residential apartments, and the acquisition suitable space or its arena can be unreasonably expensive. At the same time, many types of production in the garage can easily be implemented on such an area with minimal effort and bureaucratic obstacles.
• A wide range of areas for activity. There are a large number of potential activities for which a garage is suitable as the main site for doing business, so almost everyone can choose the right business in such a situation.
• No need for employees. Almost any business in a garage can be implemented at the initial stages by just one person - directly by the entrepreneur himself, without additional time and money spent on attracting hired employees and their official employment.

Of course, the garage business also has certain disadvantages. In particular, the disadvantages of a garage business include:

At the same time, the procedure for opening a business in a garage will directly depend on the chosen format of activity and the specific idea that will be used. In general terms, you should simply decide on the area in which the business will operate, the idea that will be implemented, the search start-up capital and drawing up a business plan, state business registration, arrangement of premises and equipment, hiring employees and subsequent advertising of the enterprise.

Garage Business Ideas

In general, all ideas for a garage business can be divided into two main groups according to the field of activity. This is work in the service sector or the direct production of goods. At the same time, the range of possible activities can be mixed, for example, in the case of a furniture workshop, it can be engaged not only in the direct production of new furniture, but also in the repair and restoration of old furniture. However, in general, most of this entrepreneurship in the garage still has the primary signs of working in one particular area. At the same time, it cannot be noted that some area of ​​​​work is better than another - each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

The service sector in the garage can be represented by a wide variety of workshops and service centers Firstly. However, there are more unusual options for activities. In general, the service sector is different in that it is not always necessary to have any additional funds at the time of starting a business, at least for the purchase of the necessary raw materials or materials, in contrast to production. At the same time, the service sector primarily depends on the professionalism of the entrepreneur himself or his employees, if any.

A distinctive feature of the service sector in terms of marketing is a great dependence on outdoor advertising And external factors- in order to receive them, the client will almost always come directly to the place of business, in contrast to the purchase of goods.

Production in the garage allows you to create goods that can later be sold as for the sale of individual outlets, and sell, independently finding end buyers. In general, competition in manufacturing is often less competitive than in services. However, there are additional difficulties in this case as well. So, they can relate to both the need to purchase raw materials or materials for direct production, and more stringent standards that apply to the manufacturing business.

In particular, many types of activities will be extremely difficult to legalize, having only a garage as a place of production. In addition, in contrast to the service sector, inspection bodies can mandatory control not only the premises itself, but also finished products.

What services can be provided in the garage: popular business ideas

Now there are a huge number of possible ideas that can be implemented with just having a garage, the appropriate skills and tools. At the same time, some of these ideas are “traditional” for a garage business, and some can be completely original, non-standard and non-trivial, but no less profitable. Further, you can get acquainted with a number of such ideas, among which almost every person will be able to choose the best option.

note

It is impossible to say for sure that any of the specific ideas for providing services in the garage and starting your own business is better than others. It is necessary to soberly assess all factors influencing the business and be guided primarily by existing skills, and not by considerations of the size of potential profit.

Auto repair shop in the garage

The business idea of ​​​​opening a car repair shop in a garage is one of the simplest, most famous and popular for such real estate. After all, the garage itself for many people is a personal auto repair shop. Therefore, if you have the proper experience, you can simply apply the knowledge you have about car care to other people as well. However, most often, opening a professional auto repair shop will require additional efforts, obtaining specific skills and acquiring specialized equipment.

First of all, in order to open a car repair shop in a garage, you should decide on the scope and specialization of such a workshop. Given the limited space in which it is impossible to place all the required equipment, it will not be able to provide a full range of car repair services in a garage. Therefore, you should focus on only one or a few areas of activity, which include:

• Paintwork and body work. Car painting will require a significant investment in the garage, both in terms of the need to purchase specialized equipment, and regarding the arrangement of the garage itself. Indeed, for the correct and professional application of automotive paints and varnishes, it is necessary to provide a specific microclimate with humidity and temperature control. Body work and welding may have lower requirements, but most often those interested in such services are looking for options where they can get it at the same time as painting, so it is best to provide the opportunity to carry out body work and paintwork at the same time.
• Auto electrician. A person who is well versed in the features of these automotive systems will be able to open a car repair shop in an electrical garage. Working with an electrician will require less equipment purchase costs compared to most other car service areas, but it also requires a fairly wide range of specific tools and work experience.
• Chassis and power plant. Opening a car service in a garage specializing in these procedures can be quite easy. However, the main requirement for a garage in this case must necessarily imply the presence of at least an inspection hole or a lifting mechanism. Accordingly, not every garage can be equipped with such elements.
• highly specialized activity. This includes work on individual automotive systems that require specific equipment and skills. For example - repair of automatic transmissions or professional tuning of vehicles, or artistic painting of a car with airbrushing. It makes sense to organize highly specialized car services of this format only in large settlements with a sufficient volume of demand.

In general, many auto repair shops in garages are able to provide a fairly high income even from the very beginning of their activity and practically do not require additional staff. However, such activities have a certain margin of profitability, upon reaching which it will be necessary either to expand or simply be content with the available wealth. From a marketing point of view the best advertising are simple personal recommendations from satisfied customers high quality service and affordable price, the number of customers in just a few weeks of work can ensure the constant workload of the workshop.

Important fact

The main disadvantage of such activities is the need for serious concern for the reputation and the high level of responsibility of the master for his activities, since cars are very expensive property. At the same time, without personal experience repairing cars in a garage is indispensable - a specialist with sufficient experience would rather open his own business in the same way than work for a salary for a simple private garage owner.

Prospects for the development of such a business may include both expanding the garage by joining a neighboring territory to it, if it is located on the entrepreneur’s personal plot, and purchasing neighboring garages in a cooperative, if such an opportunity exists. But first of all, once a certain level of workload of the enterprise is reached, the simplest solution to optimize the work process will be to hire additional staff and apprentices, as well as an increase due to this total operating time of the enterprise. For example, in fact, work in a garage auto repair shop can be carried out around the clock.

Tire service in the garage

An easy and affordable option for running your own garage business is to provide garage tire fitting services. Given the difference between summer and winter climates in most regions of Russia, replacing tires with road transport is relevant almost everywhere. At the same time, it should be remembered that tire fitting is a seasonal business, and in general, all the costs of opening it, at least in the format of a garage, can pay off in just one high season - before the onset or end of winter.

From tire fitting equipment, at least the following set of tools or machines will be required:

You can advertise such a business with a banal external advertisement with the inscription: “Tire fitting” - its arrangement in the garage will not require any additional permits from local authorities. It should be noted that tire fitting in a garage as a business will be most effective if the garage is well located, however, in the high season, in any case, customers will be present in sufficient numbers. The source of additional income from such activities may be the disposal of old tires or the resale of used tires and wheels.

Important fact

Tire repair skills, proper tire inspection equipment, and repair materials are a plus, but not a necessity. You can learn how to work with basic equipment in just a week.

Car wash in the garage

Another car business in the garage can be a car wash. Many garages are large enough to provide a full-fledged car wash space. However, in general, this is not the best option for a car business that can be opened in a garage. There are several reasons for this:

Nevertheless, to organize such a sink is more than realistic.

• Household appliances and electrical appliances.
• Computers, smartphones and other electronics.
• Clothes or shoes.

The work of such a workshop at the initial stages, as with a car service, can only be advertised among acquaintances. However, later you can devote time and attention directly to the official registration of the enterprise. In this case, the Internet can become the main advertising platform for such a business. Do not forget about possible partnerships with other institutions. For example, with workshops of a different profile or with points selling products that will be subject to repair.
