Is it possible to open your own business without investments and how to do it correctly? What business is profitable to do so that your investment is a maximum of 3000 rubles?

Hello dear friends! With you Alexander Berezhnov, entrepreneur and one of the authors of the business magazine HiterBober.ru.

Today we will talk about opening your own business without investing "from scratch". In this article, I will cover this topic in detail and give answers to the most common questions for beginners. All the information you learn is based on my practical experience or the experience of my entrepreneurial friends.

Therefore, dear readers, be sure to study this material to the end and boldly introduce your favorite thoughts, approaches and ideas!

1. Why is it profitable to open a business without investment?

Dear reader, as you may have guessed, the biggest benefit is the savings on your investment, and therefore much less risk.

For example, if you open a restaurant, then most likely you will need several million rubles.

Imagine how long it takes to first get your money back, and only after that you can talk about some kind of earnings.

In most cases, such projects pay off in more than a year (more often in 2-3 years, not earlier).

According to statistics 95% of all newly opened businesses are closed without even having existed for a year !

Therefore, dear friend, if you have no business experience, I will give you advice - never invest the last money in the business, which, among other things, is intended for urgent needs. Moreover, do not take a loan to start a business (I repeat, if you have no experience).

More than once I saw how my friends lost money, and he himself got into unpleasant situations due to the fact that he overestimated his strength.

Ask yourself what will happen if my business "burns out"?

At the very least, you will lose most of your money. And if you took them out on credit ... It's just a nightmare!

That is why, start your business so that your investments are minimal or even zero.

In general, the beginning of any business, no matter whether with an investment of money or not, begins with asking yourself a question:

“What do I have that I can give people, and they will pay me money for it? »

For example, you are good at writing articles, playing a musical instrument, or you have a teaching talent.

Then make your business based on what you do well.

Let's look at a practical example.

The same person who is good at playing guitar can make money in several ways:

  • Method 1. Get up in the street (in the underground) passage and play, collecting money from passers-by (begging). This method will be acceptable for some, humiliating for others. However, it is the simplest and most obvious one. Until now, he has not outlived himself, because in every major city there will always be such musicians.
  • Method 2. Play guitar in a group of performers. This method is suitable for people whose dream is to perform as part of a group (to create their own musical group). The advantages of this method are that someday you can become rich and famous. However, it is not without its drawbacks - for most people, this is a rather long and difficult path.
  • Method 3. Teach people to play the guitar by replicating their talent. This is exactly what you need if you know how to do something well.

Developing the guitar theme ...

If a few years ago you could simply give private lessons on playing the instrument and charge a time-based payment for them, for example, 300 rubles per hour, today everything has changed.

Thanks to the Internet, you can sell your knowledge an unlimited number of times by creating your own information product. That is, to replicate your product and receive money many times for the work done once.

So commodity may be eBook or video tutorials (training video course).

Yes, friends, this is already a business, not just tutoring.

This is how you can open a business without investment, and most importantly, you can receive the first profit literally the next day.

Nowadays, more and more people earn tens of thousands of rubles a month in similar ways.

This is information for you to think about. After all, your talents can be monetized * in different ways.

Monetization- the process of converting any activity into money (from the word coin or extracting a coin).

In the case of the ability to play the guitar, this is different ways earning income from my talents, which I described above.

Maria Ivanovna became a private tutor, and Ivan Petrovich opened a men's suit shop. Let's make a reservation right away that both of our entrepreneurs are experts in their field. Maria Ivanovna is a good teacher, and Ivan Petrovich knows a lot about costumes.

Comparative table of business projects
Maria Ivanovna and Ivan Petrovich:

Business Assessment Criteria Maria Ivanovna - tutor Ivan Petrovich - costume shop owner
Initial financial investmentsMinimumSubstantial
Periodic financial investmentsMinimumSubstantial
Time costsAverageAverage
Technical complexityRelatively easyPretty hard
Business flexibilityHigh degree of mobility (adaptability)Low degree of mobility (adaptability)
CompetitionRelatively highRelatively high
Income growth potentialShortAverage
Break-even point timeVery fastRelatively long
Market capacity (demand for goods / services)Quite highQuite high

Of course, this is only a superficial analysis and does not reflect all the nuances. But even here it is clear that Maria Ivanovna has much less risks. And the task of a novice entrepreneur is to minimize risks.

The most interesting thing is that in order for Maria Ivanovna to earn 40,000 rubles per month, she needs to invest about 8,000 rubles (travel, advertising, communications, taxes).

But for Ivan Petrovich here it is much more difficult, since in order to earn the same 40,000 rubles per month, he needs to spend about 200,000 rubles for the same period (the cost of goods, rental of premises, more expensive advertising, higher taxes, wear and tear trade equipment, staff salaries if necessary).

From this we can conclude:

  1. When starting a business from scratch (with minimal investment), focus on providing services(if you do not have other resources at the same time: money, connections, customer base, etc.).
  2. Don't try to make everything perfect right away. Instead, do everything on a gradual basis. This will reduce your time and financial costs. So you can open a business without money or with minimal availability.
  3. Reveal your strengths and make yourself known through advertising and personal contacts.

And, perhaps, the most important condition at the start of your new project is actions.

Remember, only actions lead to results!

Just before you act, check if you have at least a small cash reserve, because even if you start your own business, there are still risks that your project will not be as profitable as expected, which means that you will have to cover the current expenses from other sources.

4. How to start a business without investment - 7 proven business ideas of 2019

All the ideas described below I have personally tested or described them based on the experience of my friends who are successfully doing business in these areas.

You just have to choose the type of business you like and start diving into it.

And also you can familiarize yourself with another article on our site, about which ones are relevant and successful this year.

Business idea 1. Cooperation with a network marketing company

The uninitiated people often have many misconceptions about this, believing that this is network marketing - it is a deception, a pyramid, and so on. I assure you that this is not the case.

Let's see what Benefits network marketing before the classic business:

  1. Minimum investment: from 10 to 100 dollars
  2. Obtaining basic business skills:
    • the ability to negotiate;
    • planning your activities;
    • team management;
    • tracking goods turnover;
    • profit calculation, etc.
  3. The ability to create passive income for yourself, that is, an income that does not depend on your daily activities. Here you can regularly receive money for the work done once.

I personally know people who earn several thousand dollars a month in network marketing. At the same time, they do not run around with bags and catalogs, like the girls at the subway. This method of self-starting a business without large investments is perfect for sociable and open people.

Business idea 2. Business partnership with your employer

Let's take a look at this business idea with an example.

You work in the sales department of a small company that sells computers. You have a salary and bonus for meeting or overfulfilling the sales target.

Naturally, your employer is interested in you selling as much computer hardware as possible. In this case, you need to find a way to significantly increase sales in the company.

Perhaps for this you will need to open a branch of your company in another city or area, go on a business trip, reach out to wealthier clients, and so on.

Prepare a written proposal for your boss (business owner), for sure he will only be glad of your initiative. If it is adequately assessed, and you cope with your task, then after a while you will be able to become not just an employee, but a managing partner of this company, having your share in the total profit of the company.

It was in this way that my friend, an entrepreneur, his name is Nikolai, immediately turned two employees into business partners.

One of the employees was a hired director and the other was a lawyer. Each of these guys took over one branch of business, which Nikolay is engaged in, and began to develop them, having received the status of managing partners in his company.

Business idea 3. Selling your knowledge over the Internet


There is a well-known expression: "Knowledge is power!" Especially if it is practical knowledge, supported by the result.

Do you know how to do something well: sing, draw, program, photograph? There are thousands of people who want to do this just like you.

The problem is, they don't know where to start. Help them learn it (learn) for money. Share your experience in a business that you love and do well.

Above, I already wrote that you can not just give advice and lessons on a topic, but replicate your training by creating a paid information product.

My English teacher, Aleksey, has been teaching people English and German via Skype for several years.

A few months ago, he decided to write down his author's method of learning a foreign language in a year, in the form of an information product, and began to sell it on the Internet.

Now he has an active income from teaching and passive income (without his participation) from the sale of training courses on the Internet.

This is one of the forms of doing business online.

There are many more ways to make money online. You can find out about them from our article "". This article will be especially interesting for beginners.

Business idea 4. Setting up a business on the Internet

Not the easiest path you have to go if you decide to organize a business on the World Wide Web. But believe me, it's worth it!

This business idea is suitable for those who want to make money and develop their business without being tied to a location. That is, you can manage your business project from anywhere in the world where there is a computer and the Internet.

Understanding Internet technologies, you can create custom websites and organize your own web studio. About how my friend Vitaly and I made money on this more than 500,000 rubles, I told in the article ". It can also become your online business. After all, for this it is not even necessary to have an office and you can work with customers remotely.

For example, I am now on the Black Sea in the city of Sochi and at the same time doing business on the Internet.

And I'll tell you honestly, it's very cool! After all, at any time I can go for a walk to the sea, meet friends or just relax. I have no bosses, I only have clients and business partners.

If you feel the strength to start a full-fledged information business on the web, then this will be the best solution, provided that you are ready to invest time in your project.

For example, the site HeatherBober.ru, where you are now reading this article, is one of my business projects. It took me and my partner Vitaly not a month of hard work to create and promote it, but now the project is flourishing and brings good profit from the advertising that is placed on it.

If you are also interested in making money on the Internet and want to know how you can earn tens of thousands of rubles by creating your visited Internet resource, be sure to check out my article. "

Above, I already wrote about such a concept as passive income. So, friends. Your visited website is a great opportunity to create a source of such income for yourself.

Business Idea 5. Reselling Things Using Bulletin Boards

The simplest business that can only be started is an ordinary resale or, more simply, speculation. You buy something cheaper and then resell it for more.

But since in the article we are talking about a business without investments or with insignificant investments, we will not open a store, just officially register and buy a bunch of goods.

What I suggest you do.

To get started, practice and sell unwanted items from home. It could be old laptop, bike, wardrobe or children's toys.

If you just inspect your home, and also look into the garage or the balcony, I assure you that you will find a lot of unnecessary things for you (and someone else really needs them, believe my experience), and you will find "junk" at least a few thousand rubles.

Personally, when I conducted an audit in the apartment, I found all sorts of things for almost 50,000 rubles. And this is only a superficial examination.

Next, take pictures of these things and post ads on the Internet. The popular Avito electronic board (avito.ru) is best suited for the start. Now you can also use the capabilities of the Yula website. This is also a popular bulletin board through which you can sell your items and mediate.

All you have to do is receive calls and meet buyers at home.

Attention!

An expanded and more progressive option for reselling goods on the Internet is "Business with China". Its essence is that you buy and then sell an interesting and inexpensive product through the same message boards, an online store or a one-page site.

Now this topic is very popular and highly profitable. You can earn money on the "Chinese theme" 100-200 and even 500 thousand rubles per month.

I have an acquaintance, his name is, who is successfully engaged in this business and teaches others to do it. If you also want to make money selling Chinese goods, I recommend taking Eugene as your mentor.

Check out the testimonial of his wife's apprentice, Igor Galaev, who shares his results after completing his training in business with China:

Back to making money on message boards ...

But one site Avito can not be limited. Each city usually has its own local site with the ability to post free classifieds. If you want to, you can advertise the things you sell, even with ads in local newspapers like "Hand in hand" or "Everything for you."

It will also shorten your sales time.

Further, when you already have experience in making money in this way, just repeat all your actions again, and also start looking for contractors and suppliers of goods (the same things) and sell them on Avito and similar sites.

I guarantee that in this way you can earn money even in the first month, comparable to the average salary in your locality.

Business idea 6. Organization of the service of household errands "Husband for an hour"

Business idea "Husband for an hour * » is not new, but it becomes more and more relevant every year. Our people are busy, and given the large number of single women, this service will always be popular.

A popular popular name for minor household repair services in the house, which is usually performed by a man.

If you are a man and have the skills to repair plumbing, electricians, you can "nail the shelf" or replace door lock, then, in principle, you will not end up with clients, thanks to your skills and the right advertising.

If your "handiness" has helped you out more than once in household chores, then why not start selling your services?

A good friend of mine, his name is Eugene, opened the service "Husband for an hour" in our city of Stavropol. For the third year he has been engaged in this activity, has already recruited a team of assistants and takes a percentage of the work they have completed.

Give ads on the same Avito. Walk around the area and post ads offering your services.

After you have several satisfied customers, orders will come to you based on their recommendations. The word of mouth effect will work.

Advice on the topic:

Order yourself business cards and hand them over to each client. Write on the business card that your client will receive a discount upon repeated contact 10% for services.

This will help you quickly build loyal customers.

If you organize your work correctly, perform it efficiently and build good relationships with clients, then soon you will have a flurry of orders and you will have to hire assistants.

My friend Zhenya with his “husband for an hour” service had just that. According to this scheme, you can also open your business without investment, the maximum that you need is the minimum money for advertising and for your tool.

When providing such services, it is desirable to have your own car, but this is not at all a prerequisite.

Give it a try if you feel like you can do it.

Business idea 7. Home business to provide your personal services

The last business idea on our list will not relate to a specific field of activity, but rather to what you know how to do and can make money on it in the very near future right at home.

For example, if you are a man and you have your own garage near your home, start providing car repair services by organizing your own small "home" car service.

If you are a woman, and, for example, are fond of yoga, have trained as a hairdresser or know how to do a manicure, you can earn money on all of this.

So my friend Anna Belan, carried away by needlework, first made crafts at home and sold them, and now she opened her creative studio where he teaches children this art.

Moreover, Anya's clients have only increased, now large companies order her to make branded handicrafts for the holidays, and she earns on this by doing what she loves.

Having become interested in her experience, I took an interview with Anya, in which she tells. I recommend that you read it, especially if you are a girl or a man who is looking for something to do with his wife and improve her financial situation. :)

Remember, surely one of your friends or acquaintances is engaged in a home business, using their skills and abilities in various fields.

Chat with this person and learn from their experience. I am sure that over time you will become an equally successful entrepreneur.

This article will be useful for everyone who wants to become more successful and wealthy. Today we will talk about how to make a lot of money without investments in a short time.

How to make a lot of money quickly and is it real?

One of the common myths about profit is the statement: "To live richly, you need to be born into a wealthy family!" However, practice proves exactly the opposite. Some individuals, being born in prosperity, begin to waste their fortune thoughtlessly with age. They lose million after million, which ultimately leads them to poverty. At the same time, people from families with medium or low income sometimes achieve amazing success in entrepreneurship and become rich as early as 30 years. This fact proves that absolutely anyone can rise, even if he does not have large savings or connections.

Experienced businessmen and current billionaires provide beginners with some important tips for changing their lives. Learn how to make a lot of money and get started!

  1. Change your thinking. Before you can make more money, you need to create a certain inner attitude. You need to believe that constant enrichment is quite possible. Do not be afraid to think and dream globally - through simple thoughts, everyone forms their own reality.
  2. Make a rough plan and try to follow it. Define leading goals and think through possible ways their achievements. Understand your strengths and weaknesses, and then - take them into account in drawing up a business plan. The scheme should be feasible, but not simple. Stimulate yourself to give yourself full.
  3. Choose only those areas that are truly fascinating. Doing something other than his own business, a person will spend a boring existence without receiving satisfaction from him. In addition, during the execution of an exciting task, he will fully express himself, invent new ways of developing the company.
  4. Make savings and know how to properly manage them. Set aside a certain amount for the future after each paycheck. Over time, finances will accumulate in a secluded place, which can be invested in an attractive project. If there is no suitable startup for example, consider investing in well-known corporations or acquiring real estate.
  5. Don't stop dreaming. Make great goals for yourself and create an intention to achieve them. Every happy and wealthy individual hides an inspired dreamer who once believed in himself.
  6. When you need it, ask for help. Some entrepreneurs are afraid to admit failure in solving a specific issue and therefore are unable to get outside help. Their inflated egos prevent them from seeing blatant mistakes. Accordingly, they have no way to improve. All of this creates a significant obstacle to success.
  7. Take your business seriously. Do not allow yourself or company employees to run errands "slipshod". Remember that your activity is not a game. How to make a lot of money litter is only a responsible and serious entrepreneur.

  9. Not necessary once again“Show off” in front of their colleagues, partners or subordinates. Some believe that if they buy an expensive suit or phone with their last rubles, it will help them establish the necessary connections. In society, they are often greeted "by clothes", but if the partner is nothing, expensive accessories will not help him at all. Funds will be wasted. These savings should be set aside for a real investment that is likely to be profitable.
  10. Try never to get angry. Hatred is a very hard and harmful feeling that takes away a lot of mental and physical strength. In moments of serious experience, the businessman is not able to make informed decisions, he makes mistakes. Anger is exhausting, giving absolutely nothing in return.

What business will help you get rich?

One of the main problems of the average poor is the lack of worthy ideas. People do not understand well what exactly will allow them to achieve financial well-being. Each of the workers has their own advantages and abilities that affect the choice of the field. For this reason, we have selected several good options that are suitable for almost every entrepreneurial personality:

  • Young people of today are often interested in how to make a lot of money on the Internet. Some of them prefer to work freelance and get paid for their work, without sitting aimless days in the office. This is a great opportunity to get rich with a minimum of personal funds.
    To start, you only need access to the World Wide Web and a working PC. After that, you have to choose the type of activity that is best suited. It can be anything from website creation to graphic design. After determining the desired profession for yourself, start learning. Watch thematic videos, read relevant literature, and try working for people you know. When the skill is acquired, you can offer your services on the freelance exchange.
  • Selling goods brings huge profits. Many successful people have become rich precisely through speculative trading in the most common things. If the businessman knows how to find mutual language with partners and loves to solve issues with the supply or sale, he should try his hand at this area. Initially, you will have to prepare for small volumes and minimal capital growth, but over time it will be possible to trade large amounts, earning thousands of dollars.
  • Training courses are very popular today. They are attended not only by children or adolescents, but also by adults. During lectures they receive new information for themselves, master additional professional skills and improve themselves. Think about what knowledge you have and try teaching. Start by building a small audience of family and friends. If the listeners like the material and style of presentation, it will be possible to move on to recruiting students.

A business without start-up capital is not a myth. Even without a penny in your pocket, you can implement one of the working ideas that I am ready to tell you about.

Most people are convinced that this is just a myth.

There is a solid grain of truth in this.

However, more often we are talking about stereotyped thinking and the inability to see the possibility of earning income on the available opportunities.

But a business without start-up capital from scratch is almost impossible.

After all, "from scratch" means that you have absolutely no resources.

For example, if you have worked at a garment factory all your life, but are tired of "working for your uncle" - this can no longer be considered a business from scratch.

Because you have a wide rich experience, which is much more important and valuable than any start-up capital.

Of course, you cannot create a plant or a factory at once without a penny of investment.

Such a business requires too significant start-up resources.

But if you focus on the fact that a business is a source of income (anyone), you can create your own profitable business without start-up capital.

To prove that money is not always the main thing, below are data on how much it cost to create logos of companies that are now known to everyone:

As you can see, success is not always impossible without money.

Where should a business start without start-up capital?

Entrepreneurs who start a business without start-up capital often make the same mistake: they make the lack of money a key factor and, when choosing, start from it, first of all.

This is not an entirely correct approach.

If you imagine step by step what business planning should look like without start-up capital, you get the following instruction:

    In addition to money for investment, you can have something more valuable: knowledge, experience, practical skills.

    They should become the launching pad for the lack of capital.

    Write down all of the above on a separate sheet of paper, not missing even the smallest details.

    Which of the recorded tasks do you like?

    Entrepreneurship is hard work.

    If you expect to do nothing and make a profit, reality will make you desperately disappointed.

    The only difference from employment is that you do business for yourself and based on your views and preferences.

    You have to do business for days, therefore it is important to choose what will bring pleasure.

    Have you chosen some kind of business without start-up capital?

    Even a business without investment requires planning.

    A business plan is needed not only for obtaining loans or investments.

    It allows the entrepreneur to compose step by step plan actions that you can constantly return to to adjust the intended course.

Comparison of a business without start-up capital and with investments


There is a difference between these two categories not only in the presence or absence of start-up capital.

More precisely, this parameter affects the appearance of some more differences.

Let's compare in the form of a table:

Cash costs at the start- Significant
Monthly business expenses- Significant
Difficulty in organizing the caseUsually insignificantTypically medium to high

As you can see, the difference really lies not only in funding.

Also pay attention to the risks: when there is no investment, you only risk wasted time and effort.

If some capital is invested, and even more so from other people's funds, the business turns out to be fraught with high risk.

Business ideas without start-up capital

You need to build on skills and desires, of course.

But if you are just wondering how to organize your business, ideas may simply not occur to you.

To give you some thoughts and ideas, below are a number of options for organizing a business without start-up capital.

1. Composing crosswords as a business


Who among us has never whiled away time on a trip or on vacation, solving some interesting crossword puzzle?

If this is your usual activity, and you are ready to do it with your eyes closed, why not try yourself as a crossword writer?

In fact, this has not been done manually for a long time. At least for mass print media.

When a person spends one or two days on this work, special program can do it in 15 minutes.

Which option is more profitable in this case is obvious.

The computer-generated version will require only minor subsequent adjustments.

If you have the right skills to help automate the process, you can create original or just fresh crosswords in large quantities.

You can offer them to any print media: as a rule, they regularly need new material.

Send the "sample" to all available addresses and at least some newspapers or magazines will be happy to respond.

Such a business will not require investments, and you should not count on large profits.

2. Business on consultations without start-up capital


If you have ever been interested in organizing your own business, then you know that the solution of many issues is delegated to outsourcing.

Sometimes in order to save money, and sometimes because there is no person with the corresponding high qualifications on the staff of the company.

Those with special skills or experience can provide consultations for those who wish.

This type of business does not involve any investment at all.

You can get started with the help of a few people you know.

In gratitude, ask them to tell their friends about your services.

If you advise well and your advice is helpful, word of mouth is your free advertisement.

The potential revenue can be completely different: it depends on employment, uniqueness and the level of knowledge that you possess.

However, it is worth noting that this business option without start-up investments has the ability to scale the business.

For example, create your own YouTube channel with recordings of consultations, which can later be monetized.

It is also common for private consultants to retrain as trainers.

But conducting trainings is considered a gold mine, the profit from which will depend only on your efforts.

3. Tutoring services - a business without start-up capital

Perhaps the most popular option for organizing a business without start-up capital.

The principle is simple: do you know how to do something well? - teach another.

Unlike consulting, which usually focuses exclusively on the business area, tutoring “thrives” in other areas.

Most often, in private lessons they teach:

  • possession of musical instruments;
  • singing;
  • Painting;
  • school items;
  • foreign languages;
  • self-defense and other martial arts.

These are just the most popular teaching options.

In fact, there are much more of them, it is enough to focus on demand.

The difference between tutoring and consulting is that the latter is usually one-time.

While teaching is permanent, that is, it brings a stable income.

What they all have in common, however, is that tutoring can also be made a passive business by recording tutorials on video and distributing them for a fee.

Or create a YouTube channel with videos and monetize it.
