You can become financially independent if you find out which business to open in an urban-type settlement. The adopted laws allow almost anyone to start their own business in a small village, having a small amount of money available.

Compliance with the basic rules is the key to the success of a novice entrepreneur

A novice entrepreneur needs to choose the type of activity that will be interesting and useful for the bulk of the population.

If the majority of people are busy with work and have small incomes, then expensive equipment in discos or chic furniture in a restaurant will not be in demand.

1. If there is a problem with renting or buying premises, then you can first convert the garage or part of the house to your needs, and then gradually acquire the building in the most advantageous place in the village.
2. Such an undertaking will be most successful if it does not require a large number of skilled workers. In rural areas, it is rare to find many managers, programmers, financiers or marketers who can help and work a full shift.
3. It is easy to open a business in a small village, but you need to calculate that it is in demand and that there are enough customers who can provide a turnover of funds, because yoga classes, a sushi bar or the sale of expensive branded items will not be able to attract a large number of buyers.
4. It is necessary to take into account all the risks, anticipate possible costs, observing these small points will help you make a successful business, open a small enterprise in an urban-type settlement that allows you to receive a stable income.
5. Before investing in certain undertakings, it is better to consult with experienced specialists and ask them a question about what kind of business to open in an urban-type settlement in a particular case.

The funds spent must be returned in double the amount, if you do not spare money for a consultation.

Popular types of business in small towns

The advantage of starting a business in an urban-type settlement is a small number or complete absence of competitors. Often, everyone wants to get to the city, where mainly large enterprises survive, having large premises in their arsenal, the presence of modern equipment and a certain clientele. If a beginner has a small amount of money at his disposal, then most likely the business in the city will not last long, even if there are interesting ideas.

What kind of business can be opened in a small village:

1. The stores offering inexpensive food products, middle-priced clothing and footwear, cosmetic products, auto and bicycle spare parts remain the most popular.
2. An excellent business in a small village can turn out if agriculture is well developed here - a veterinary pharmacy will be very useful, but one cannot do without certain knowledge.
3. Business in the village will flourish if you start selling the most high-yielding and inexpensive seedlings, vegetable or fruit seeds, decorative annual and perennial seeds. The only drawback of this idea is its seasonality - spring and autumn. This business in a small village needs to be supplemented with other goods in order to have a steady income.
4. Selling agricultural equipment, home care items can be an excellent addition to the main group of goods.

Sphere of trade and provision of various services

The right business ideas for a small village allow you to build up a regular clientele over time, providing a stable profit. If trade cannot bring the desired income, experts recommend reselling goods - buying various products at an affordable cost from the local population, and selling them more profitably in the nearest city.

To start turning this idea into reality, you need to arm yourself with a certain amount of money, have a small room for storing products, your own personal transport, and containers for transporting goods.

The sphere of service provision will also be successful - a hairdresser's, an auto repair shop, repair of household appliances are in demand both in the city and in an urban-type settlement.

Required Documentation

To properly organize a business, it is necessary not only to come up with an idea and study the demand for certain goods or services, but also to have a certain amount of basic knowledge in accounting, economics and law. This will help to avoid all sorts of problems with the authorities and additional and unplanned inspections.

Experts recommend deciding how to conduct business activities - from a legal entity or a private one. If a legal entity is created, then it is necessary to keep complete accounting records, register the authorized capital and provide all the necessary data for the tax office. You also need to create a charter and submit documents to the tax office, after having them notarized. A private person has the right to maintain a simplified accounting system and pay less taxes.

Also, all types of property need to learn permission to operate in the fire safety authorities, the sanitary and epidemiological inspection and order their own seal. Experts advise from the very beginning of activity to carefully check and submit the necessary documentation to the tax service in order to avoid unnecessary trouble. If a novice entrepreneur does not understand this well, it is better to ask a specialist for help to prevent mistakes and confusion.

Is it possible to earn money in the village

“You won’t earn a million by living in the countryside” - this is usually said by those who simply do not know how to use the opportunities lying in front of their noses. And they are more than real. Let's figure out which ones.

Let's start with the benefits of living in the countryside.

1. The freedom of action. You can do whatever you want, when you want and in what you want. There are no annoying neighbors, walls and sidelong glances.
2. You are your own boss.
3. Clean air and no traffic jams.
4. Always fresh and tasty water. No plastic bottles and other nonsense that pollutes the environment.
5. Rates are lower than in the city.
6. Cheap housing without bureaucratic red tape.
7. And, most importantly, business prospects.

What are the prospects, you ask? Land, cheap labor, natural goods: forests, fields, lakes. There is you, and all these wonderful things. It remains to turn on your head, adjust your ingenuity and start earning.

And now let's figure out how to make money on a subsidiary farm. Is it possible to do this without investment. And how to implement your business so that it flourishes.

We found out that it is possible to earn money on a subsidiary plot. Can it be done without investment? Hardly. At a minimum, you will spend on a house, a plot of land and utilities. Depending on which business you have chosen (we'll talk about ideas later), another expense item comes up. But, you can start a business in a rural area from scratch, having a certain resource (finance, land, yard).

What to do in the countryside to earn money

Having land, people often do not know how to use it. And it's a goldmine. And in general, there are many ways to earn money in the village.

Let's see what:

• Livestock. Everything is clear here: get a cow, a goat, chickens. In general, who likes it more, and sell products "of their production." Milk, butter, cheese, eggs. And also manure, from which fertilizers are created. Pros: you always eat fresh, without chemicals and preservatives, which is good for your health. And yes, you make money doing it. By becoming an expert in this type of activity, you can teach this to others, and also give advice on caring for animals for everyone. Cons: you need start-up capital to purchase animals and feed for them, to build enclosures. Do not forget that animals get sick and die. Their health is an additional item of expenditure. Plus advertising, delivering products to customers, etc.
• Agriculture. If you have a plot of land, grow vegetables, fruits and berries on it for yourself, and sell the surplus. Today, selling products has become much easier. You can sell goods in the nearest city on your own or take advantage of the Internet. It's up to you. Pluses: you eat a delicious healthy product. Experiment. Grow what you really like. The fruits on the trees grow without your help. You earn on this. Cons: caring for a vegetable garden and a garden is hard physical labor. If you are categorically against chemistry, get ready to fight insects and pests that devour your vegetables and fruits. Finding customers and markets is exhausting and requires money.
• Beekeeping. Honey is one of the most unique and sought after products of our time. Pure honey, without chemicals, preservatives and flavorings that poison us from the inside, is worth its weight in gold. And it is willingly bought not only within the country, but also abroad. Of course, in order to start, you need to create conditions - to purchase and install hives. Buy bees. And you also need to read tons of literature to know how to deal with them, and what to do in general. Pros: honey brings a lot of income. Cons: it takes time to learn the case. Spend money on an apiary and bees, advertising, finding buyers, organizing delivery.
• Cultivation of mushrooms. If you have a cellar that is empty, make a mycelium out of it and start growing mushrooms. Pros: minimal cash investment. Grow fast. Special care conditions are not required. There is always a demand. Cons: there are few truly experienced mushroom pickers who can transfer the necessary knowledge. Most of the teaching literature is slag. Short shelf life fresh, and therefore require the fastest implementation. Sometimes a laborious process.
• Handicraft. If your hands have grown out of place, take up some kind of craft. For example, create handmade knives. This is a popular and expensive item. Over time, a line of hunters will line up for you for goods. Or try your hand at blacksmithing. It's also a profitable business. You will not be left without clients and money. By the way, a place to work can be turned into a real male room, which will become your personal space for work, creativity and relaxation. Pros: You can earn a lot on your own abilities, but it’s nice to do it.
• handmade. Living in the village, you can create things with your own hands and sell them via the Internet. What do you like more? Macrame, beads? Can you sew toys? Do it. Do you weave wicker baskets? Great! Just do what you like and the money will definitely come. Pros: income from what you love. Cons: you can’t always find a post office in the village, so you have to spend time traveling. The cost of advertising and promotion of goods both online and in real life.

Let's look at a couple of examples. Strawberry business. This berry is loved by everyone, and you can grow it not only in summer. If you install a greenhouse, then with proper care and maximum yield, you will have about 5 thousand rubles per square meter of area. Well, if the territory is larger, respectively, more money.

If we talk about our own apiary, the numbers here are ambiguous. It all depends on the number of hives, the area and the breed of bees. Therefore, before starting a business, answer yourself the question: are you really ready to devote yourself to bees (and you need to love them), read tons of literature and learn the basics from your own mistakes (including money ones)?

So, you can make money on bees. But the income depends entirely on you. On average, one hive is 20-60 kg of honey. The cost of a kilogram of product on the market is 100-300 rubles. Of course, you can sell goods abroad. There will be more money, but also more trouble, since you first need to find a sales market. Foreigners are picky.

Now let's talk about mushrooms. growing mushrooms today is quite profitable. Especially oyster mushrooms. The cost for 1 kg of the product starts from 1.5 dollars. 100 square meters of area, on average, will give you 4 tons of goods per year, which is about 6 thousand dollars. For a start, very good.

For example, the cost of selling oyster mushrooms in Moscow is on average 100 rubles. per kilogram.

In terms of costs, entry into this business is minimal, but not free. You will need: substrate (1 kg = $ 3), bedding (straw or wood chips), compost and the mushrooms themselves for sowing. Of course, you need to take care of the place where the whole thing will grow.

It does not hurt to spend more on literature, which reveals the details of this craft. Start small, do not try to earn a lot right away, first learn how to do it well. After all, you need to be able not only to grow, but also to sell. After all, having learned, you can easily reach an income of 800-1000 dollars a month.

Of course, this is not all that you can earn on. Want to get even more business ideas? Then watch the video, choose and act!

Earnings in the village in winter

If you think that winter in the countryside is a dead season for business, you are mistaken. Because even in winter you can get good profits.

• Build a greenhouse and grow greens in it. In winter, it is in great demand.
• Knit sweaters. Of course, if you can.
• Felted felt boots from wool. This is an interesting and profitable business.
• Open a tire shop. A business that will bring you income all year round.
• Try yourself as a fortune teller. This is especially true during the New Year and Christmas holidays.

And also you can…

• From the barn to make a carpentry workshop and produce custom-made furniture.
• Go fishing. Fish is a commodity with high demand.
• Build a bathhouse for 5-6 people on your site and charge a fee for visiting it.
• Prepare mulled wine.
• Create something with your own hands.
• Deliver orders. If you have transport, of course.

Other ways to earn money in the village

What else do they do in the village? What are the earning options?

• They cut down trees and sell firewood. This is not the most environmentally friendly way to earn money, but nevertheless it exists and is in demand.
• Take care of other people's animals. If you have your own cattle, it is well-groomed and joyful, so why not make it like that for others and get paid for it? For example, to shoe horses, to comprehend the hooves of sheep, etc.?
• Haymaking. The work is seasonal, but profitable, as hay is mainly fed to cattle.
• Lawn mowing. To do this, it is enough to have your own lawn mower.
• Caring for someone else's house, garden, orchard. If you don't have your own, why not look after someone else's?
• Handyman. Repair the faucet, nail the shelf, patch the roof. For those who have their hands in place, there will always be work.

Farmers experience

About the positive. Here is what they say on the forums about profitability:

The main thing is to choose for yourself something that you will do with great pleasure. Because if you don't like what you do, how do you want to sell the products of your activity and what kind of profit are we talking about?

A small town is a settlement in which 50,000-100,000 people live.

There are more than 80% of such settlements, towns and villages in Russia.

Experts believe that it is more profitable to open a business in such towns than in megacities.

What to open in a small town: we take into account the pros and cons

Let's look at the advantages and disadvantages of starting a business in a small town:

pros	Minuses
Less investment than in a metropolis: lower rental costs, advertising costs.	Low purchasing power, this reduces profits.
Lower wages for employees.	It is difficult to find qualified specialists.
Word of mouth will reduce advertising costs.	Word of mouth can quickly and ruin a reputation when "punctured". Also, a negative personal reputation can affect the business.
Cheap local raw materials.	Expensive imported raw materials.
The competition is lower: it is easier to open something that is not yet in the locality.	Higher competition for the main, traditional groups of goods.
With low competition, the demand for goods and services is higher.	Fewer buyers means less profit.
Starting a business has fewer hurdles than in a metropolitan area. There are benefit programs.	A narrower choice of ideas for business due to the conservatism of tastes. It is better to refuse exotic ideas.

Let's analyze the table and try to decide on the choice of case:

Are there not many entrepreneurs in the city who sell basic consumer goods (food, clothes, shoes)?

Choose this line of business.

Under the main goods should be understood products that are indispensable in everyday life.

There is always a demand for it.

To occupy this niche is to ensure success for yourself.

Let's say the niche of traditional goods and services is relatively occupied.

Then you need to determine what is in demand, but what competitors do not yet have.

You can offer these products to fellow countrymen, along the way expanding the range of consumer goods.

The highest profit can be made by organizing a small factory or production using local raw materials.

But it is worth immediately considering one very important point characteristic of.

The main end consumer is not the inhabitants of the city.

Such an undertaking will bring profit in the manufacture of large batches of products focused on delivery by region.

This is the most capital-intensive type of business in a small town.
