Autumn is the time to start your own business. Therefore, 12 profitable fall ideas will come in handy: for any budget and with detailed guidance to launch.

The work does not have bad weather, which means that profitable activities can be carried out at any time of the year. It's time to think about which business is profitable to open in the fall. We have collected in the article 12 of the most profitable ideas for small businesses that will help you make money in the fall.

There are many myths about seasonal business, which is why many aspiring entrepreneurs abandon this venture. But in vain. To dispel myths and fears, let's first answer the most common questions.

Is seasonal business profitable?

A seasonal business has high returns on average. Firstly, during this period, such categories of goods and services are popular, for which a high margin of more than 100% can be set. Secondly, a seasonal business usually involves low costs for opening it, so it is quite possible to recoup the investment in the first season and start making a profit. Of course, success can be achieved with competent planning: you should choose the most suitable time to start, optimize costs, and objectively assess the volume of sales.

What are the risks seasonal business

The main risk of a seasonal business is its specifics. What does it consist of:

Demand is hard to predict... There are some types of seasonal business that are very unpredictable due to the vagaries of nature. For example, in a rainy and cold summer, it will be unprofitable to sell kvass for bottling, and in a warm autumn without precipitation, rubber boots and umbrellas will not be in demand. Another caveat is that this risk is very difficult to manage. And here the advice comes in handy: before realizing the idea of ​​a seasonal business, evaluate the effect of the weather. And if it turns out that the demand for your product or services directly depends on weather conditions, check out long-term forecast for the season. On the Internet, you can easily find the forecast of weather forecasters for the season. Of course, these data are very approximate, but in combination with statistics from past years, they will allow you to somehow assess the conditions for your business.

May require knowledge. Seasonal types of business are divided into those that are based on the resale of a product, and those that require certain knowledge and skills in production. A trivial example, if in the first case you can start selling potatoes purchased from farmers at a minimal cost, then it all depends on your entrepreneurial abilities. But if, suddenly, you decide to pick mushrooms or open your own apiary, you cannot do without special knowledge and skills. Therefore, it is worth preparing for a seasonal business in advance: in order to acquire the required knowledge or find competent specialists.

Short term of project implementation. The life cycle of a seasonal business is 3-5 months. Therefore, there is no time to "swing". You need to act promptly and always be ready to change your idea in accordance with market requirements.

Preparation required... The limited time for the implementation of such a business requires careful preparation from the entrepreneur before the season begins: the purchase of goods or equipment, the lease of premises, the search for a retail outlet - all this must be ready a few months before the start of the season. Starting a business at a peak is completely wrong.

Recession in the off-season... For a seasonal business, this risk is inevitable. Of course, super-successful projects at this time can count the profits and gain strength for the new season. However, everything works differently. A seasonal business, like any other, requires constant involvement - the workflow is not interrupted, it just changes.

How to wait out the off-season?

a) retrain into a company with related activities. For example, the owner of a kiosk where cold drinks were sold in summer autumn-winter period can replace the assortment for tea and coffee. It may be necessary for such changes optional equipment... But these costs will more than pay off later.

b) analyze the work for the season, identify mistakes, draw up a plan for the upcoming season, taking into account all the mistakes made.

c) engage in business development: buy additional equipment, improve the business, search for suppliers and partners.

Who is the seasonal business for?

Those who are able to react quickly to changing circumstances and are not inclined to build long-term strategies should be engaged in seasonal business. Seasonal workers do not need to calculate the break-even point, they do not set global goals, but act according to the "here and now" rule.

A seasonal business is ideal for students, any entrepreneur who is willing to devote time to his business only a few months a year, as well as for those looking for temporary work.

Business in the fall - why and how

It has long been known that business activity increases in the fall. The workflow is recovering from vacations, and clients are waking up from their summer hibernation and gradually joining social life. According to statistics, in the fall, most often deals are concluded, shops open, and new names enter the market. Therefore, the autumn period is the time to declare yourself.

1. Exit car wash

Investments: 100 thousand rubles.

The weather plays into your hands. Frequent rains, mud are obligatory phenomena in the fall, which is why cars quickly become dirty and require washing. Therefore, opening a car wash during this period is a great option. The stationary point of a classic car wash requires a lot of effort in the organization - you need to choose the right place, prepare the site, purchase expensive equipment, and collect permits. There are many nuances. It will take more than one month to prepare everything you need. It is much easier to open an exit car wash.

Today, residents of large cities in Russia are limited in their free time, so not every car owner wants to spend it on regular car washing. So, stationary car washes are being replaced by more convenient options - mobile and dry car washes, which compare favorably with other types of such services. This concept of a car wash is convenient both for car owners, saving time, and for entrepreneurs, since an on-site car wash requires a minimum of costs. In addition, the advantages of an on-site car wash are:

mobility. The special equipment of the exit car wash allows you to provide services anywhere;

no complicated equipment required;

low level of competition in the segment of off-site car washes;

low initial investment;

average business profitability - 30%.

Exit washing can be carried out wet and dry. It should be noted that there is one difficulty associated with the organization of a wet wash - the provision of such services in public places is prohibited by law. Therefore, we propose to organize an on-site service that includes a dry wash. The dry way to wash a car is to use products containing wax, without the use of water. The composition of the products is such that it provides the machine with protection against corrosion. And the wax protects the paintwork.

We draw attention to one drawback of this washing method: it is ineffective for vehicles with heavy pollution, because involves a large consumption of detergents. This should be taken into account when forming a proposal.

How onsite car washes work

Exit car wash is a service that provides services for servicing a car with an exit at the address specified by the customer. Orders are accepted through calls and online applications on the company's website. Clients leave applications indicating the exact address, select the required services and receive a calculation of the cost of the order. This information goes to the washers, who promptly leave for the place and provide car maintenance services. A mobile dry wash takes about 20-30 minutes, depending on how dirty the vehicle is.

Washers can work not only on the road, but also stationary, for example, you can organize a point in the parking lot shopping center... Then washing the car will become even more convenient - the car owner can leave his car for the wash while shopping at the mall. A stationary point will double your profit. To do this, you need to contact the administration of the shopping center, discuss a commercial offer. The cost of renting a parking lot differs depending on the shopping center and its attendance. Prices can vary from 10 to 40 thousand rubles.

The car is processed using a special technology using polymer detergents, which allows you not to use water when washing. Thanks to this, the cleaning of the car from dirt occurs without harm to the body and other parts. vehicle... There is nothing difficult in this technology, everyone can master it.

The list of services includes body washing, interior cleaning of the passenger compartment, washing carpets, discs and glass, polishing, etc. The availability of additional services will also increase your bottom line. The average bill for the services of an exit car wash is 500 rubles. Not the cheapest car wash, however there are many people willing to pay for the convenience.

The target audience of the on-site car washes are car owners with "average" and "above average" income levels. Behavioral characteristics of potential consumers: lack of free time, rational decision-making, respect for your car, priority of using environmental products, when ordering again - confidence in the high quality of the services provided.

Currently, many car owners are not yet familiar with the on-site wash service and are suspicious of the dry method, mistakenly considering it harmful and damaging the car's coating. Therefore, the main difficulty in the implementation of the project is the need to promote a new type of service in the car wash market. It is possible to solve this problem with a well-designed advertising campaign, which would focus on the safety and convenience of dry washing.

To promote an exit car wash, you can use: installation of billboards and signboards; distribution of business cards, flyers or brochures with a discount coupon for the first wash; advertising in the media; radio advertising; outdoor advertising at gas stations, parking lots, auto parts stores; loyalty programs, promotions and so on. The use of this or that tool depends on the target audience of the institution and the project budget. The development of a one-page site will be 15-20 thousand rubles. Printing and distribution of printed material - about 10 thousand rubles.

For example, specifically for the format of an exit car wash, it was proposed to use mobile app, which simplifies ordering and allows you to evaluate the work of the washer. However, it should be understood that the development of such an application and its promotion will cost a significant amount.

The organization and promotion of an off-site car wash will take 1-2 months on average. Consider this fact when planning your business.

What you need to open an exit car wash

The first thing to do is to register a business and open a bank account. When registering, you will need to indicate the types of activities according to OKVED-2:

45.20 "Services for the maintenance and repair of motor vehicles" - it is recommended to indicate as the main one, in addition, you can specify:

45.20.3 Vehicle washing, polishing and similar services.

50.20.3 Provision of other types of maintenance services for vehicles.

The next step is to find a place for a stationary point or a car in which the washer will go to order.

At the third stage, when you decide on the form and scale of the services provided, you need to find assistants. At the start of a business, you will be able to handle orders alone, but to develop your business, you will need to expand the staff of washers. The same can be said for the ways to get orders. In the beginning, you can do without your own website and take orders by phone. But for further work, it is advisable to make a website with an order form.

Thus, total amount the initial cost of equipment and materials will amount to 121,600 rubles. This material consumption is calculated to service 400 vehicles. You can adjust the purchase amount depending on the planned sales volume. At the same time, the cost of a car wash service averages 120-250 rubles. for 1 car (depending on the list of services provided).

Also, when planning, you need to take into account the following expenses: salaries for employees, advertising costs, rent (when operating a stationary point), fuel consumption for offsite orders, income tax, depreciation of your car.

If you want to study more accurate financial calculations, we advise you to read the business plan for opening an exit car wash.

How much an on-site car wash can earn. Practice shows that one washer can serve an average of 200 cars per month (this is 9 cars per day with 22 working days). If there is a stationary point near the shopping center, then 15 cars can be serviced per day. Then the monthly revenue will be 100-160 thousand rubles. Subtract from this amount the cost of washing and other expenses. The entrepreneur will have a net profit of 50-100 thousand rubles.

What difficulties can you face. The main risk in this case is insufficient demand. Firstly, the specificity of the dry cleaning method may scare off some potential customers; secondly, the level of demand for this type of service reacts sharply to the reduction in the population's income. It is possible to reduce the risk with careful planning of the company's activities and financial results, competently conducting advertising and pricing policies, encouraging repeat orders, etc.

Competitors' reactions are another threat. Since the market for automotive services is quite saturated and competition is high, the behavior of competitors can have a strong impact on the activities of the enterprise. The emergence of new car washes will lead to a redistribution of customer base and profits. To minimize this risk, you need to create your own customer base, constantly monitor the market, implement customer loyalty programs and create competitive advantages.

However, the risks of this business are paid off by a high level of profit, especially at the peak of sales. Another advantage of visiting car washes as a business is that it can be carried out all year round. By opening an on-site car wash service by the beginning of the autumn season, you can make good money and use this money to develop your business.

2. Transportation of students

Investments: from 2 thousand rubles.

Car owners can benefit from a seasonal business idea such as transporting students. In early autumn, many students begin to move from parental homes to student dormitories or rental housing. In all these situations, transportation services will be in demand.

This business can grow into a more serious business - the transportation of nonresident students for the weekend home and back. This idea was successfully implemented back in 2009 by an American from Baltimore. A resourceful entrepreneur, being a student, began to offer other students a ride home in his car. He distributed flyers at the university offering his services and began to earn money by taking students home.

This is how the College Shuttles project was born. Initially, the entrepreneur personally transported the students. Today his company has several cars, and among its clients there are students from 8 educational institutions in the USA.

This idea can take root in our country as well. What does it take to open a transportation business? The most important and obvious thing is that you must have your own transport. Leaflets offering their services will help you find clients. It will be much easier for students to find clients. Otherwise, simply organize handing out flyers near universities and hostels.

In the event that you already have a car for transportation, the investment for the start will be minimal. Then you will have to spend only on printing advertising materials, and this is 2-3 thousand rubles. It is much more important here to calculate the cost of gasoline and correctly set the price of services.

How to calculate the cost of a service? Average fuel consumption is 12 liters per 100 km. With a gasoline price of 42 rubles / liter, it turns out that the cost of a trip of 100 km will be 504 rubles. It is also worth adding 200 rubles to this. for other expenses (car maintenance, depreciation, etc.). Knowing the cost of the service, you can set a price. Please note that there is no need to change the price: students have a very limited budget, and many, in order to save money, will simply choose public transport such as minibuses, buses or trains. Therefore, be guided by the price of a public transport ticket. Of course, your services will cost more - because you can take a maximum of four passengers in a regular car. But this difference should not be too big. On average, one ticket in your "student taxi" can cost 620 rubles. (subject to full workload). With an individual order, the cost of the trip will be about 2500 rubles. For correct calculations, it is recommended to install a taximeter in the car (you can use applications in your mobile phone), which will accurately calculate the distance traveled and the cost of the trip at a given rate.

Thus, you can earn 15-20 thousand rubles per month, taking into account if the trips will be carried out only on weekends. And this is a good additional income.

3. Organization of autumn photo sessions

Attachments: from 0 rub.

Themed photo sessions are not losing their popularity. Therefore, the organization of autumn photo sessions for couples, children, lovers and everyone else is a popular product. Especially if you can come up with original idea with interesting props.

If you are a photographer, you can independently organize a turnkey autumn photo session - offer options for outfits through the rental service, choose appropriate place outdoors or in a photo studio, think over a concept, offer author's processing. You can cooperate with makeup artists, decorators and create a whole project where you can invite many who wish. This service delivery format looks like this: clients sign up for a photo project, each has 30 minutes or 1 hour of time during which you implement your idea.

Of course, such photo projects can be arranged not only in the fall, but also suitable for an autumn photo shoot: shooting schoolchildren, stylized as Soviet years, Halloween, in the autumn grove, etc.

If you are not a photographer, but you have organizational skills, you can take over the entire organization process: finding a place, props, a photographer and a make-up artist for cooperation ... Ie. to become the ideological inspirer of the photo project. Your task will only be to come up with an idea, find those who will implement it, and clients. In this situation, the costs of starting a business are minimal. Only your skills, imagination and time.

To promote your services, you will need to create an Instagram account, where you will post examples of your work, announcements, stories about the specialists with whom you collaborate on the project.

The cost of participation in such a photo project costs 2-4 thousand rubles. It all depends on the complexity of the project, the cost of the photographer's services, the number of photos that the client will receive, and the time of the photo session. You can realize 4-5 orders per day. That is, you can earn 10-20 thousand rubles per day. Most of it will go to pay for the photo studio and other services involved in shooting, but about 20% will definitely be yours. If you oversee several projects and take on the development of individual orders, you can earn 30-40 thousand rubles. per month.

Investments: 60 thousand rubles.

One of the most lucrative and common destinations for fall is selling seasonal fruits and vegetables. During this time, farmers across the country are harvesting crops and handing them over to wholesale depots. The easiest option for a business is to resell products. You need a minimum investment and a little savvy. To start a business, you need: a truck, wholesale suppliers and a retail outlet. The opening scheme is quite simple, but it has some nuances.

   Few people think about the fact that money literally lies under our feet. But the most adventurous can turn autumn leaves into money. This idea is not new at all, but undeservedly forgotten. It is very simple to implement it: minimal investment of capital and time.

   What to do? We wait for rainy weather, collect fallen leaves in boxes with perforated walls. Thoroughly tamp, press down with a load, add fresh green grass. To speed up the process of maturation of humus and improve its quality, you need to alternate layers of garden soil and moist leaves, and also use chopped deciduous material. You can chop the leaves using a garden vacuum cleaner or lawn mower when collecting.

   However, with the usual method of creating compost, you will have to wait a long time - you can sell humus only for the next season. However, there is a little trick here: the composting process can take exactly 1 week and does not require additional space. It is already being actively used abroad.

   What's the secret? In equipment that you can build yourself. For this, metal pipes, lumber or barrels are suitable. You can buy material, or you can "get" it at a minimum price or for free. In search of suitable containers, contact the manufacturers of dietary supplements, and pipes can be found at scrap metal collection points. The main thing here is to be smart. Then the costs can be reduced to zero.

   There are many videos on YouTube on how to make this equipment at home. Most of them are in English, but you can also navigate by visual material. To find a video, enter the query "Compost Tumbler" in the search box... This is how this device looks roughly.

   
   

   After the leaves are loaded into the plant, it is necessary to regulate the maturation of the compost. The main method is turning, shoveling, tedding. Therefore, for convenience, you need to equip the equipment with a handle that will turn the compost cylinder.

   Humus can be sold to flower growers, gardeners, including owners of nurseries, municipal housing and communal services. You can find clients by placing an ad on a specialized website. You won't be able to earn much on this. The average cost of 1 ton of compost will cost 400-500 rubles. Therefore, it is better to do this business as a supplement to the main one. And it can also be associated with leaves.

   Investments: from 15 thousand rubles.

   Environmental issues have long become acute. Recently, most startups are based on the idea of ​​being green. One of these ideas is the production of fuel briquettes (pellets).

   The innovator in this area was the Briton Peter Morrison, who proposed making combustible briquettes from leaves. The idea came to him in the fall, when he was clearing the paths in front of the house of fallen leaves. Deciding to test his idea, he made flammable tablet, which was the beginning of the Leaf Log company. Today, fuel pellets are successfully sold throughout Britain at a price of $ 56 per 10 pieces.

   
   

   What are they? Fuel briquettes are compressed dried leaves in the form of a cylinder or tablet. For gluing and improving the combustible properties, wax is added to the briquettes: the most effective ratio is 70% leaves with 30% wax. One "eco-field" releases about 30 megajoules of energy for every kilogram. This heat is not enough to heat the whole house, but it is quite enough for cooking on the grill or creating a cozy fire in the fireplace.

   What you need to start a leaf briquette business

   Purchase equipment. If we were talking about large-scale production, then it would be necessary to provide an impressive list of what is needed, worth about 1 million rubles. But in order to start a home business and organize a mini-production, you will need a briquetting press (hydraulic, screw or mechanical shock) and a complex for drying the finished product. However, you can do without the latter - if there is a possibility of drying the material in the fresh air. It should be noted that the material must have a moisture content of no more than 13%. On the Internet, you can easily find videos that tell you how to make equipment with your own hands. If you don't want to spend 15-50 thousand rubles. for equipment, you can make the equipment yourself. You can find great deals on the classifieds website and purchase a brace press at the lowest price.

   Prepare a suitable site... For the production of fuel pellets, space will be required for: placing equipment, drying finished products and storing them. On average, you will need 50-60 sq.m. Room requirements: good ventilation, electricity, good system fire extinguishing. A suitable space can be rented, or you can equip it in your own yard. If you plan to rent a production facility, then budget about 20 thousand rubles. to pay rent.

   Explore manufacturing process ... We will not dwell on this point in detail here. There is a lot of useful material on the Internet that will allow you to independently study all the nuances of the process of making fuel briquettes.

   Find "suppliers" of raw materials... Of course, you can pick the leaves yourself. But imagine how many raw materials are required to make at least one bag of pellets! One log takes a large bag of collected leaves. If you decide to personally collect the leaves, there will be no time left for the production itself. Therefore, it is rational to resort to outside help. Enter into an agreement with parks and forestry, housing and communal services, which collect leaves in garbage bags. Many will be happy to delegate the collection and removal of leaves to you and even receive money for it. Set up a leaf collection point where residents can donate raw materials for a small fee. And there are really a lot of raw materials. For example, in the UK, the weight of leaves fallen in autumn is more than 1 million tons. For a small town, this figure is about 15 thousand tons of leaves.

   Find customers and organize sales of finished products... The main consumers of these products can be the owners of country cottages, summer cottages, private houses, for which heating fireplaces or boilers are used. Fuel is also useful for those who use it to light barbecues and barbecues. In addition, biofuels are in great demand from various agricultural enterprises, poultry farms, factories, etc. An excellent option would be cooperation with a large enterprise, to which you will regularly carry out wholesale deliveries.

   
   

   How to look for clients. Send commercial offers, try to conclude a supply contract with stores or wholesalers. Place ads on the Internet, order an article in the media, where you can tell about the benefits of your products.

   What price to assign and how much you can earn... The wholesale cost of briquettes is about 5-6 thousand rubles. per ton. Per autumn season a small production facility can produce about 150 tons of fuel briquettes. Having sold the entire volume, you can count on the proceeds of 750 thousand rubles. If you subtract all costs (collection of raw materials, purchase of equipment, consumables, payment advertising services etc.), the net profit will be 300-400 thousand rubles.

   What difficulties can you face. Not every entrepreneur will be able to organize the collection of raw materials, and even do it with minimal costs for himself. It is not so easy to sell products on such a large scale. In addition, there is a high level of competition in the biofuel industry. It is not so easy for a small enterprise to survive on the market. In addition, there is a threat that your idea will be implemented by more large production, so it is worth thinking about patenting and certifying a business idea.

   Ready-made ideas for your business

   Investments: from 1 thousand rubles.

   
   
   

   In rainy weather the most the best options rubber boots remain. Convenient, but quite unpresentable. Therefore, many women of fashion have to sacrifice comfort for the sake of beauty. But if you turn ordinary rubber boots into an original and, moreover, an exclusive wardrobe item?

   All you need to get started is your creativity, purchase of regular rubber boots, acrylic paints and other accessories for painting. This idea will suit those with the skills of an artist and a designer. If this is about you - feel free to try yourself in a new business! It is not difficult to implement, and the investment is minimal. RUB 400 for a pair of boots, 500-600 rubles. for consumables.

   Before painting on the surface, you need to treat the shoes with a strong yacht-type varnish. It will protect the paint layer and give it a glossy finish. However, you need to experiment with caution - rubber is different, not every surface "gets along" with varnish and acrylic. Therefore, for a start, we advise you to buy one pair of shoes in order to conduct an experiment.

   You can sell your work through Instagram or any website with handmade goods. The cost of such designer boots can be 1.5-3 thousand rubles. It all depends on your ability to create an attractive product for which you can assign a high price.

   The walnut consumption market in Russia is growing every year. Therefore, a business based on the sale of walnuts is seen as a promising direction.

   The ideal option is not to invest a single ruble, but to receive proceeds. There is no need to create, plant and build anything. Although if you have walnuts in your garden, this will only simplify the task. The idea will be relevant for those areas where a lot of hazel trees grow, because this is where you need to go for the "product". Explore the surroundings outside the city - for sure you can find a large number of wild walnut trees.

   Then you proceed according to a simple scheme: you collect nuts, peel them, and then sell them. You can harvest them on your own or advertise in the local newspaper by organizing a reception point. Average wholesale purchase price of unrefined walnuts- 50 rubles / kg. ... To get 5 kg of peeled nuts, it is necessary to process about 10 kg of unpeeled. And the cost of peeled nuts is already 150-350 rubles. per kg.

   How to calculate the estimated income? Let's say you bought 100 kg of nuts for 50 rubles. We spent 500 rubles on packing. Total costs amounted to 5500 rubles. From 100 kg of nuts, 50 kg of peeled walnuts were obtained. You sold them for 300 rubles. per kg. Total revenue was RUB 15,000, and net profit was RUB 9,500. Additional income can be generated by selling shells and membranes to pharmaceutical companies and beauty salons. You can sell nutshells at a price of 300 rubles. for 100 kg.

   You can hand over the peeled nuts to the store, to the base, sell via the Internet or on the market - choose what is closer to you. There is practically no surplus of supply on the walnut market, so there should not be any difficulties with implementation.

   Autumn is the time for mushroom picking. In rainy seasons, this product is consistently in abundance. This is one of the most affordable types of business that requires absolutely no investment.

   In Russia, mushrooms grow from early summer to mid-autumn, but each species has its own fruiting period. From the point of view of investing in business, the main advantage of forest mushrooms over cultivated mushrooms and oyster mushrooms is that they do not need to build greenhouses and invest money. Everything grows in the forest by itself - come and take it for free. The extraction of forest mushrooms is not subject to licensing at the federal level: a permit for the collection of forest gifts is issued by the local authority, with which it is easy to negotiate, and in most cases it is not necessary at all.

   The main difficulty lies in the very process of collecting mushrooms. It takes time, patience and some knowledge. The main condition is good orientation and knowledge. You cannot go for mushrooms without understanding them!

   What mushrooms to pick? The most valuable mushroom is white. It is followed by boletus, mushrooms, milk mushrooms, mushrooms, chanterelles, boletus and boletus.

   Purchase prices for mushrooms vary depending on the type (value) of the mushroom and the yield. Some of the most expensive to buy are chanterelles. Along with porcini, these mushrooms are excellently sold in Europe. According to some reports, 5 thousand tons of chanterelles are exported to European countries every year. The purchase price for them can reach 40-50 rubles per 1 kg.

   Fresh mushrooms are stored for several days, so they need to be sold or processed as soon as possible. If you do not have time to sell the goods, it is better to cook and preserve them. For cooking, you need a special boiler with a volume of at least 100 liters. Cooked mushrooms are packed in metal barrels and transported to the factory for further canning. Mushrooms can also be frozen and dried. When dried, mushrooms significantly lose weight (about 10 times), but the price rises to 600-1000 rubles per kg. Mushrooms are dried in a special electric dryer. Its cost is about 8 thousand rubles.

   Once the mushrooms are cooked, they are packed in metal barrels and transported to the factory for canning. At the factory, mushrooms are picked, preserved and sent to shops.

   How much can you earn from picking mushrooms? For a season, an entrepreneur can earn 80-120 thousand rubles. The main thing is to find sales markets. You can sell mushrooms yourself, take them to a wholesale base or directly to production. You need to decide in advance how you will sell your products, because mushrooms are perishable goods, the shelf life is up to 3 days.

Thirdly, a mobile coffee shop can move around the city, change locations and look for a better option for trading. Fourth, having made a choice in favor of a mobile coffee shop, an entrepreneur simplifies the process of registration and collection of documents. And with all this, he can make a decent profit.

It appeared - and firmly entrenched in the market, because there are many coffee lovers, and the climate in many cities only contributes to the demand for hot drinks.

In addition, a mobile coffee shop allows you to make a quick purchase, and with the frantic rhythm of the city, this becomes a huge plus.

   How to open a mobile coffee shop

   First you need to buy a car and equip it. Most often, cars of the following brands are purchased for car coffee houses: Renault Kangoo, Peugeut Partner, Citroen Berlingo, FIAT Doblo. The average cost of such a car is 750-800 thousand rubles. If you consider buying a used car, you can save money.

   In addition to the car, you will need to purchase equipment. The most important element here is, of course, a quality coffee machine. You do not need to save on it, because it is it that will affect the quality of your product - which is what any consumer is guided by. A good coffee machine will cost 70 thousand rubles on average.

   In addition, batteries are needed to power the coffee machine. For uninterrupted operation for 12 hours, you will need two batteries, the average cost of each is 2 thousand rubles. You also need to equip the mobile coffee shop with a mini-refrigerator, dishes, price posters, advertisements on the car, etc. Another 20 thousand rubles must be allocated for this.

   Today the market offers ready-made options for mobile coffee shops. You can familiarize yourself with the offers of firms and choose the "turnkey" option to simplify the preparation process. There were offers on the Internet that promise a turnkey mobile coffee shop even for 270 thousand rubles, but such ads should be carefully studied. Although they look tempting, they certainly have some kind of catch. Therefore, you need to clearly understand how much a business can cost approximately and make informed decisions about buying expensive equipment.

   The paperwork for opening a mobile coffee shop has some peculiarities. The list of documents includes:

   A document confirming the registration of a businessman as an individual entrepreneur. To obtain, you need to contact tax office and apply. You need to provide a copy of your passport, a list of selected OKVED-2 (47.99 is suitable here - Other retail trade outside stores, stalls, markets) and the selected taxation system (in this case, it is better to stay on the USN).

   Permission to place a trade object. It all depends on the place of installation: if the point of sale is on the sidewalk, then the application is submitted to the district administration; if on the territory of the road - then to the Road Service.

   The list of the range of products sold is submitted to the Sanitary and Epidemiological Station of the corresponding district, indicating “ retail drinks ".

   Certificate of conformity for the coffee machine.

   Sanitary book for an employee.

   Sanitary and hygienic conclusions for products (preferably).

   Also keep in mind that the re-equipment of a car requires re-registration with the MREO. To do this, you need to provide a supporting document in several forms: a certificate of approval of the vehicle design; technical expertise act; certificate of conformity.

   Place of trade... The success of this business directly depends on the location. It is necessary to take into account the daily traffic and the presence of direct competitors nearby. The right place is half the battle! Therefore, pay attention to parks, embankments, proximity to office buildings and educational institutions, train stations, etc. If you are wrong with the choice of location, you can move to another. However, you should not do this too often. It is important for the consumer to remember the points of sale.

   How to advertise a mobile coffee shop. The coffee van is an advertisement in itself. A well-chosen place also acts as a promotion tool. Business is aimed at a flow of people and spontaneous purchases, so it is not advisable to place any kind of brochures and posters. So advertising costs in this business are minimal.

   
   

   The cost of one unit of production consists of:

   glass - 3 rubles.

   coffee - 4.5 rubles.

   water - 0.5 rubles.

   milk - 3 rubles.

   sugar - 0.5 rubles.

   topping (syrup, etc.) - 2 rubles.

   Thus, the cost of 1 cup of coffee is 13.5 rubles. And you can sell this glass for 70-80 rubles. and more.

   You can sell 50-80 cups of coffee a day. Those. daily revenue will be approximately 6,400 rubles, and monthly - 140,800 rubles. This is the average coffee consumption. However, in the autumn, the demand for coffee increases, so you can count on sales of 120 cups per day and monthly revenue of more than 200 thousand rubles. If we subtract all costs (including fuel and taxes), then the net profit can be 130-150 thousand rubles.

   In this situation, the initial investment can be recouped in six months. And continue to work, because the sale of coffee is a year-round business that simply has a pronounced seasonality. In the summer, of course, sales will drop dramatically. But by this time you will have time to recoup the initial investment and work profitably for yourself.

   A coffee shop on wheels is a great business idea. In order for your profit to grow every month, you need to correctly draw up a business plan, calculate all costs. Therefore, if you are seriously thinking about opening a mobile coffee shop, then we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the mobile coffee shop business plan.

For every period of the year, anyone with an entrepreneurial mindset can easily choose a demanded business for themselves that can bring excellent income. Having looked with nostalgia at the past summer, we will try to consider some business ideas for future entrepreneurs in the autumn period of time.

What business can you do in the fall

An autumn business can bring good profits. And if you are planning to do something interesting, then remember some ideas. Indeed, let's take a look at some business projects that you can create in the fall and make money on them during this time.

Paintings made from autumn leaves.

A creative person in China turned autumn into a pretty successful business... Maybe you should think about it too? The main point of this idea is to impregnate leaves that have fallen from various trees with a special oil. Further, they lend themselves to engraving. At the end of this procedure, additional colors are applied to the leaves. As a rule, maple leaves and sycamore leaves from 26cm are most often used. Having made the fruit of his creation almost perfect, the master frames the sheet in a beautiful frame, and then varnishes it and frames it with glass.

Turning fallen leaves into briquettes - firewood.

If you do not know what to do in the fall, then we will offer you best business ideas... Maybe they will seem strange to you, but remember that some people managed to make good money on this. Another pretty interesting idea serves as an idea coined by an inventor living in Britain. He is engaged in pressing the leaves into tablets or creates the image of wood firewood from them. Many of you probably want to refute this method by the fact that it will be quite difficult to heat the house using logs from leaves for this, but with regard to the main raw materials for your barbecue, it is these logs that can serve you excellently. The main advantages of deciduous heating:

1. Fast flammability.
2. Smaller volume, almost 10 times. Easy to carry.
3. Less smoke is generated by pressing.
4. Almost 2 times less moisture, taking into account the force and time of ignition.

The person who wants to implement this business idea can not only make a good profit, but also benefit the ecosystem. Burning fires of large piles of damp leaves, people simply pollute our atmosphere, harm the soil, and also are engaged in the destruction of fauna and flora.

Compost production from fallen leaves.

In the distant past, our ancestors were engaged in the manufacture of humus from fallen leaves in wet weather. In order for the fermentation process to occur more quickly, people were engaged in collecting leaves in special containers with perforated walls, or used mesh material. Then they were strongly tamped and pressed down from above with heavy objects. In order to get the desired result, green grass was added to the humus. After some time, this product was in great demand among most florists and gardeners.

Sauna on wheels.

An ordinary car van, in which the interior is rebuilt for a standard dry or wet steam bath, can be in great demand in the fall. You can find your potential client in almost every residential area of ​​the city.

Finally

Here we managed to list some ideas for the fall. We do not advise you to sit idle. You must definitely do some kind of business in order to always have money for a comfortable existence in your city.

There are some activities that you can only do during certain times of the year. It's autumn now. What can you do to have fun and profit?

Consider the types of seasonal business in the fall, which have been relevant every year for many, many years. Many types of entrepreneurship in the fall are becoming more profitable every year.

Types of seasonal business in the fall

Collection and sale of walnuts

Ideal: investing nothing, getting revenue. It can practically work out with this activity. You don't have to grow anything yourself, just collect the gifts of Mother Nature. Look around, there are many wild walnut trees around. True, this still applies more to the southern regions of our country, for example, the Krasnodar Territory. You don’t invest anything if you collect it yourself. But the profit will also be smaller, since you simply cannot physically collect large volumes. You can advertise and there will be more than enough helpers. The cost for the collection is approximately 50 rubles. per kilogram. Then the nut must be peeled. Here you can also do it yourself or try to attract friends or children. The average cost of peeled nuts ranges from 150 rubles. up to 350 rubles After the preparatory work, you can sell the nuts through Internet resources, or hand them over to stores or sell them on the market yourself. You can also prepare and sell mushrooms and berries.

It is also very important for some regions of Russia to collect pine nuts. You can earn about 5000 rubles on your own per day.

Renting out

What does the seasonality have to do with it? Moreover, you will be renting out housing to students who have just come to study and cannot or do not want to live in hostels. You will not rent out your own home, although this is also possible variant... Prepare a database of rental apartments. Choose those that are within walking distance of educational institutions and start systematically bypassing them, negotiate with the owners. And only then you can advertise. The cost of the service is approximately 4% of the transaction amount, which is withheld from both landlords and tenants.

Making decorative decorations from leaves, cones, acorns

If you want something, then you are looking for ways to achieve it, but if you don’t want something, then - the reasons why you do not succeed. So it is with business. If you want to make money - take it and use it various ideas... You get the material for free, right from under your feet. Then you go and resort to the help of numerous Internet resources, there you can find a huge number of ideas for inspiration. For example, bouquets of dry autumn leaves have been very popular lately. You can also sell your work via the Internet, or hand it over to souvenir shops, household goods.

Sale of school supplies

It is worth noting here that this type of business requires initial capital and material investments. You will need to rent space for sale, purchase office supplies and everything related to the school. But they will pay off with interest. In front of school, especially in the last days, parents take everything. You can engage in this type of trade later. The main thing is to think over the location of your outlet.

Harvesting leaves

At first, fallen leaves are beautiful, then it becomes a problem, and few seek to remove them themselves. You can help such people. But first, material costs will be required: a shovel, a broom, a vacuum cleaner for cleaning leaves (you can try to rent it). Place an ad and wait for orders.

Fertilizer sales

This type of earnings flows smoothly from the previous one, which as a result can bring you double profit. We collected the leaves, helped people, and earned money. Do not rush to take them to the landfill now. Recycle material, pack in bags and sell as fertilizer. There will be many who wish. If you have at your disposal not only yourself, but also special equipment, then you can reach the level of cooperation with large agricultural enterprises.

Purchase and sale of potatoes, apples

Very often, producers cannot meet with consumers. In the villages in the fall, and even with a good harvest, there is an overabundance of these fruits. So why not go to the villages and buy products at minimal prices. Then sell it in the city at higher prices. You get the profit immediately.

Harvesting firewood

Of course, summer is the best period for preparing firewood, but autumn is also a hot season, since it is in autumn that many begin to understand that cold weather will soon (or already) come.

You will need a chainsaw, truck or tractor for transportation, and a permit to harvest firewood.

Mushroom picking

This is the lowest-cost business and always profitable, since there are a lot of mushrooms in the fall, especially in the autumn mushrooms. Mushrooms are always in demand.

If some methods are not relevant at this time, i.e. it's too late to start, then you can prepare for next year's entrepreneurship.

What to offer to the consumer and profit from it yourself? What is more profitable to sell on the market in the coming years will be discussed in this article.

What is a hot commodity

A hot product is a product that is in great demand and it is easy to find a buyer for it. However, not in every case, popular goods can be unambiguously recognized as reliable and profitable for the seller - those that a person will come for, even if he is limited in money. Therefore, before choosing products for sale, it is always necessary to take into account not only the level of sales at the moment, but also in the future, as well as make calculations of the profit per unit of goods released at the checkout.

Good hot commodity - This is a product that will be taken equally both in a crisis and in the moments of economic development.

It is easier and wiser for an entrepreneur to get a little less income by selling reliable products (always needed) than expensive products from the risk group, which are acquired on a case-by-case basis. Compare cereals and delicious seafood: a person can eat buckwheat several times a week, while he will take caviar or shrimp only on a holiday.

The simplest examples of a product in demand

If you sit down for a minute and think about the most frequently purchased in Russia goods, bread, cigarettes and alcohol come to mind. This is true, but this does not mean at all that opening a business selling any of these products is guaranteed to bring high and stable incomes or any advantages over other products.

Take, for example, cigarettes - one of the most popular goods in the Russian Federation. The cigarette business is far from the most profitable. It is all the fault of the system, which is aimed at the formation of maximum prices in this particular niche.

Or consider alcohol.

Not every drink from a huge variety will be on the list of popular leaders. Expensive elite drinks - wines, cognacs, whiskey in rare cases can bring a stable income to a business owner in the same way as cheaper and more affordable drinks do. The most popular drink is beer. For 5 years already, its sales are confidently keeping their positions on one high level... But the success of the sale of low-alcohol products is influenced by many additional factors: place, assortment, competition, brand.

But no matter how high and massive the sales of alcohol and tobacco products are, there is another very profitable product for the business that everyone purchases whenever they go shopping. And this place of honor belongs to an ordinary plastic bag. It's not so easy to start polyethylene production, but people make millions of rubles on this insignificant product.

Popular hot products in Russia (in examples)

Now in the Russian Federation, the population is mainly interested in simple bakery products, vodka and cigarettes. But here, at the start, an entrepreneur needs to be careful: certain restrictions stipulated by law apply to all of these positions during pricing. Thus, it will be necessary to ensure an extremely large turnover in order to make a profit, and this is difficult in the sales market, since the competition in these segments is very high.

To those in demand on the territory Russian Federation currently include:

• shallow Appliances, budget electronics;
• electrical goods;
• household chemicals and personal care products;
• Kids toys;
• simple food products (mainly bakery products, semi-finished products, oils, cereals and cereals, vegetables, tea).

However, a hot product and a profitable one are not the same thing.

The latter includes everything that the buyer is willing to spend his money on, without thinking too much about the amount. Such products, small and rather banal at first glance, can be sold with good earnings. Usually the assortment of this retail " cheap"Is presented in small shops and stalls, and is purchased for free in China: dishes, hygiene products, stationery, little things useful in the household (clothespins, hangers, hangers, adhesive tapes and the like). Thus, a profitable product is everything that surrounds us every day, which a person uses regularly.

The buyer will always need food, therefore, even in a crisis, the leading positions in terms of sales do not hand over food products. Consumers try to avoid expensive offers and look for affordable analogs, for example, instead of natural cheese, they take a cheese product.

Another profitable position is gastronomic products by weight. Nuts, teas, dried fruits, dried seafood and other trifles, which are purchased in huge quantities in China or Asian countries, and then sold in small containers at a premium. So much and cheap turns into little and expensive.

How to choose a hot product for your niche in business

Everyone chooses a certain strategy for himself:

• sale of risk-free goods with a smaller but stable profit;
• trade high-risk goods and gaining unstable, but at times high profits.

Most entrepreneurs will choose reliability, which is the first option. In search of a product for commerce, it is worth starting not from the most popular varieties, but from promising and profitable ones.

Most purchased goods in the country can be grouped into the following categories:

• small household appliances - among them kettles, irons, mixers, blenders, hair dryers and others, without which life is in principle possible, but with them it becomes more comfortable and simple;
• electrical goods - this includes sockets, switches, light bulbs, adapters and other similar items that a person needs;
• sanitary items - plumbing and accessories that tend to be damaged - these are gaskets, valves, taps, showers and others;
• daily use tools - include hammers, saws, nails, screws, screwdrivers, axes and many other things needed in the household;
• household chemicals - includes various cleaning products, detergents, personal hygiene items that people acquire with regular consistency;
• articles of clothing and footwear - goods that a person will not buy every day, but cannot do without them;
• goods for children - clothes, toys, shoes, accessories, accessories of everyday life, etc .;
• other everyday goods.

There are also leaders among food products. According to statistics, the most purchased over the past year in the country were:

• meat, including chicken, pork, beef and turkey;
• chicken eggs;
• semi-finished products - are in great demand among women;
• frozen seafood and fish;
• vegetable oil and butter;
• cow's milk;
• pasta, flour and flour products;
• salt, sugar;
• cereals - rice, buckwheat, oats;
• Black tea;
• fruits - bananas, apples;
• vegetables - onions, potatoes, cabbage, carrots.

Among all the variety, some products are in great demand, others less. How to make the right choice and focus on a certain type?

1. Orientation on own knowledge, interest and dictates of the heart... Not every product will be equally satisfying to work with. Somewhere there will be a lack of knowledge, somewhere experimental knowledge, somewhere the frequency of realizations. The key to the success of any sales should not lie in the desire to make a profit as soon as possible. First of all, you need to love your own business.
2. Comparison of the most suitable product groups for you... If you are torn between several types of goods and do not know which one to give preference to, then a detailed analysis will help determine.

The first steps towards a big business

After you have decided what to sell , you need to answer a number of questions that will help you develop a business strategy. So this:

• where to sell;
• to whom to sell.

The solution to the first question can be found in two ways:

1. Open a point of sale, go to the market , rent a room for a store, rent a stall or retail space, and so on.
2. Trade over the Internet. This method will reduce the prices of goods and attract more buyers.

Any of these options has both advantages and disadvantages. Not every product can be successfully sold on the Internet, and not every product on store shelves is able to interest in the same way as in the vastness of the network.

Now let's get back to the second question - who are we going to sell goods to?... If the products are in demand mostly among the elderly population, then there is no point in organizing trade via the Internet. Regarding real trade, it is also important to determine with buyers in order to profitably locate your sales markets in the future.

The next step is to take into account all your capabilities in such aspects:

• availability and volume of start-up investments for starting a business;
• when opening a retail outlet, it is advisable to carry out preliminary marketing research in the proposed area: demand opportunities, traffic flow, the likelihood of competition, etc .;
• it is necessary to take care of the maximum demand in the chosen place, as well as the stability of demand for the product even with changes in the economic situation.

With a detailed study of the listed aspects and the correct answers to the proposed questions, starting a business will not seem so difficult and intimidating.

Online trading

Offering products on the Internet is beneficial for several reasons at once. First, the coverage of the global network in the Russian Federation is over 70%, and this figure is growing every year. One way or another, almost all residents of the country have access to online stores. Secondly, if earlier purchases via the Internet were popular among young people, now these people are getting older, and the "army" of young visitors to the sites is constantly growing, that is, the sales volumes are also growing. And, finally, thirdly, the rhythm of life forces us to look for faster ways to purchase the necessary products, therefore online stores come to the rescue (they are visited from computers, and 1/3 of users - from tablets and smartphones). In addition, shopping in them becomes more profitable to save the budget.

Hot goods on the Internet

On what to build an online business, what is more required for users who prefer to shop online?

Electronics

The first group includes all kinds of electronic devices and electrical goods with compact dimensions: home and kitchen appliances, mobile gadgets, laptops, readers, tablets. As for various teapots, toasters and coffee makers, it is better to organize their sale at well-known sites, since opening your own online store is a costly business, and besides, you will need to constantly compete with major players.

Perfumes and cosmetics

This group includes eau de toilette and perfumery water, cologne, products for face and body skin care, cleansing serums and gommages, and decorative cosmetics. The assortment can also be supplemented with accessories for the application and removal of products.

Gift items and toys

Even in the absence of money, people tend to pamper a loved one with a present. Unusual gizmos are purchased for adults, and toys (plush, plastic, radio-controlled) are for children. Quadrocopters and accessories for them are becoming popular.

Clothes and footwear, accessories

To go to online stores for such a seemingly simple product, people are forced by the high price in ordinary retail outlets... Often on the Internet you can find a similar product much cheaper, plus with free shipping- a double benefit, and a person does not need to leave the house once again.

Green tea, coffee

The trade in these products is promoted by customers seeking to lead a healthy lifestyle, who stand up for cleansing the body and saturating it with useful elements. Despite the crisis, many people cannot deny themselves a cup of delicious drink.

Online shopping prices

Any person organizing a business is interested in what kind of cost markup can be made on the assortment, how much revenue can be ultimately obtained by selling all the purchased goods.

The markup for the most common goods cannot be large, from 5 to 35%, and only large stores can afford to do this. But even they, like smaller entrepreneurs, strive to find goods with a high mark-up from 100% (umbrellas, bags, gifts) to 300% (covers for gadgets, seasonal products). It is most profitable to purchase cheap Chinese products, and then sell them on the territory of the Russian Federation many times more expensive.

If you plan to open a store from scratch, then it is better to refuse to sell equipment and electronics, since they must be purchased in large quantities, and customers may experience breakdowns during operation.

At the start of starting a business, it is quite possible to start trading wow-goods (buying impulse demand). This includes various items that will help a person do something without much effort (weight loss belt, exercise equipment for certain muscle groups, devices for savingelectricity, fuel). The main thing is that such products do not belong to perishable (since the percentage of utilization of expired raw materials is high), do not require special storage conditions (humidity, temperature), since you will have to look for additional premises and spend money.

Statistical data

As an illustrative example, we will give information collected using the famous Avito portal, where both individuals and companies are engaged in the sale. So, for last year users spent almost 34 billion rubles on the purchase of products from 5 categories:

• personal goods - 6.5 billion;
• products for home and summer cottages - 5.5 billion;
• products for recreation and classes - 3.5;
• household appliances - 15.2;
• everything for pets - 4.7.

The leaders according to statistics were seasonal goods (for example, fans, tents were bought well in the summer), gadgets and components, clothes.

total stats for 2016 made it possible to create the following list of the 10 most frequently purchased goods on the Internet:

1. Small household appliances became the leader in Internet sales.
2. In second place are cosmetics and perfumes.
3. An honorable third place was taken by mobile phones. Moreover, about 10% of citizens RF regularly update their gadgets by purchasing phones on the Internet at better prices. On average, people buy models that cost up to $ 600.
4. Then there are tablets, laptops.
5. Toys and original gifts.
6. Licensed software.
7. Shoes, clothing, accessories.
8. Books. Quite interesting is the fact that, despite the free, easy accessibility and convenience of the electronic version of books, paperback literature is being sold at a good pace over the Internet.
9. Online ordering and payment of tickets.
10. Large home appliances.

But most of the most popular products are not suitable for starting an Internet trade from scratch. For example, even if you have enough money to invest in a large household. equipment, then you need to buy it only in bulk and in large quantities. In this case, the costs of breakdowns are not excluded. A market already full of big entrepreneurs, with whom it will be difficult to compete.

Difference by region

In many ways, the demand depends not only on how much money the client has in his wallet, but also on the seasonality. The selection service will help you evaluate this parameter. keywords wordstat.yandex.ru... On this site, you must enter the request of interest and select the region. Then the system will show how many times the word was requested during the month. To assess the seasonality of a product, just switch to the "request history" and look at the given data. Based on the information received, it is easy to conclude which product will be more interesting to people in summer or winter.

Of course, you can make assumptions based on life experience, but statistics are much more reliable than subjective hypotheses.

For example, a rain umbrella should be needed by a person in the fall or spring, but in reality, this product is most bought from May to September.

Another area for local trade is regional branding... This refers to the production and sale of T-shirts, sweatshirts, mugs and other souvenirs with the logos of a district, city or region, or, for example, clothes for Siberians.

As you can see, it is not so difficult to determine the most profitable product, because in fact all these products are everything that we need almost daily. Those things that a person cannot refuse even in a crisis will always be in the shopping cart.
