Trending topics for business

Given the unstable economic situation, businesses that require small investments and are able to quickly recoup themselves are becoming relevant. The top successful projects, whose revenues are several times higher than the initial investment and the peak demand for which will be in 2021, were prepared by Ekaterina Soyak, CEO of EMTG.

1. Fixed Price Stores

In a crisis, such a business is beneficial, first of all, for entrepreneurs - with a fixed price for a product in a store for purchase, it usually costs no more than 10 rubles. Therefore, from one unit of goods, you can get a revenue of at least 500%. An excellent example in this direction is the domestic Fix-Price chain of stores. Now the company operates more than 2,000 retail outlets throughout Russia, of which about 250 are franchised and actively enters neighboring markets. Over the past 5 years, the number of fixed-price stores in our country has increased by 1000%.

The direction is actively developing on the domestic passenger transportation market and is in greatest demand in Moscow, which accounts for up to 65% of all orders. These companies traditionally do not advertise their reports, but informed sources indicate that the turnover of taxi aggregators in the capital region is 20 billion rubles. per month, while in Western countries they incur billions of dollars in losses. Over the next two or three years in Russia, this business will remain promising, especially in the Russian regions, where such concepts do not yet occupy a leading position, but have a huge potential for development.

Business for the delivery of ready-made food to your home - food constructors that allow you not only to eat a ready-made dish, but to prepare it yourself from the provided ingredients - are also becoming a very relevant direction today. This is a global trend. According to some estimates, by 2021 the turnover of this market will grow to $ 10 billion per year. Again, while this service is gaining popularity in the capital, but within the next 2-3 years it will bring colossal profits to those who start developing this business in Russian million-plus cities.

4. Catering Franchises

Today, this is the only segment in the catering sector showing stable growth against the background of the anemic state of the domestic economy. When located in points with a large concentration of potential customers, the return on business with a properly organized process can be as little as 3-4 months. In 2021, the winners will be not only restaurants, but also casual coffee shops, cafes offering coffee to go, and, of course, sports bars. This is due, among other things, to the upcoming 2021 FIFA World Cup.

The opening of a food service outlet under a franchise will bring income to the owner even after the end of the World Cup. Fast foods remain the most profitable, they are always in trend, since such enterprises do not require large investments, the products in them are available to the average consumer, who is now focused on an average check of 500 rubles. All this guarantees a stable profit for the owners.

Self-service car wash is becoming popular among car owners. About three dozen such car washes have already been opened in Moscow. Since 2021, this service has been in increasing demand, and manufacturers of equipment for such points can make good money. For example, to open a contactless car wash, you need to invest 13-15 million rubles, while the investment will pay off on average in 1.5-2 years, and the profit will be more than 10 million per year. That is, the profitability of the business line is 70%, which is very good.

6. Hospitality and consumer services

On the eve of the World Cup-18 in the regions where it is held, the demand will be for economy class hotels of 2-3 stars, small motels and various consumer services enterprises - dry cleaners, mini-studios and others. Also, against the backdrop of sports events, fitness clubs, children's sections and other undertakings to maintain athletic shape will be in demand there. The fastest and most convenient way to organize this business in 1.5 years is to open a franchise. The demand for such objects is now observed in every Russian region, without exception, including Moscow. Russia has embarked on the development of mass domestic tourism, so investments in hotels and dry cleaners will pay off quickly.

If we are guided by objective economic laws, then it is the crisis phase that is the most prosperous and successful time to start your own business. There are several arguments explaining this thesis:

• cheap resources;
• low payroll rates. Since unemployment is high, employees are ready to work for less than traditional wages in their sector;
• low competition, as former market participants are going through hard times and are taking measures to cope with bankruptcy, cover losses and pay off debts.

But when opening a business in a crisis, it is important to very sensitively and competently analyze the market situation and effective demand.

Important to know! Low incomes of the population force potential buyers to reconsider their consumer basket and abandon some expenses in favor of others. For example, traditionally, during a crisis, the population saves on buying luxury goods, visiting expensive sports clubs, buying new cars, fashionable cosmetic procedures and manipulations.

Therefore, deciding to open a business in a crisis and take full advantage of the moment, you must be guided by the following general recommendations:

• Minimize initial investment. You should choose a business that at the initial stage (which will fall on the crisis phase) will require zero or small investments.
• Focus on your own knowledge, skills and abilities. To succeed in difficult times, you need to offer a quality and unique product at an affordable price. That is, what an entrepreneur does better than others who may be potential competitors.
• Focus on a fairly high profitability of activities at an affordable price for the client. The level of profitability of at least 70% can be considered sufficient.
• Substantively and thoroughly study the legislative framework, arrange an enterprise in the optimal form and form, choose the most favorable taxation regime. It is advisable to find out whether a patent tax system in the region (PNS) is possible for the selected activity. If it is available, you should safely stop the choice on this option. This will allow:
  • not to officially keep accounting, not to draw up and not submit any reports to the IFTS, that is, to save on accounting and reporting;
  • pay a small amount, breaking the payment into two stages ... The first third - in the first quarter of the year, the rest - at the end.
