Business on participation in trade chains "we buy imported - we sell to compatriots" ceases to be profitable. There are many reasons for this, from geopolitical to economic. For Russian production of any scale, the green light is on today. How to navigate among the opportunities that have opened up, what can a small business bet on?

The time of intermediaries is running out.

From the very beginning of economic freedoms in Russia and until recently, domestic small businesses preferred the sphere of trade and services. Often the business model was elementary: we buy abroad, we sell at home. Low competition, a huge range of choices ensured high profitability of projects.

* - with annual revenue up to 1 billion rubles. (2014 criteria)

The crisis, sanctions, a high dollar and a weak ruble dictate new rules of the game: competition in trade and services is increasing, demand is narrowing, profitability is falling. The most significant decrease in revenue for the 1st half of 2015 was recorded in wholesale and retail trade, in cargo transportation. It's time for small businesses to adapt to market changes: today, production and implementation are in trend innovative projects. This is where a lot of free / little competitive niches. Let's figure out what is profitable for small businesses to produce in Russia now.

Prospects for production: where to look for profit

Imported products are now available in any Russian stores: food, sports, children's, household, electrical and other goods. Often under the inscription "made in Russia" a product assembled from foreign components is hidden. A small business can successfully launch any of these products. The main thing is to identify what product, what quality and price will be in demand.

When deciding on production, it is worth considering the moods/preferences of consumers in the B2B and B2C sectors. Russians - individuals buy less, save more. The direction of using free money has changed.

What are Russians willing to spend on?

Russian enterprises are focused on the purchase of goods/services that allow them to maintain/increase the level of sales while reducing costs, i.e. they are looking for inexpensive ways to increase the efficiency of business processes and reduce product costs. For example, by replacing imported components with Russian ones.

What is profitable to produce in a crisis by industry

1 Furniture: landfill chic

Italian cuisine is becoming an unaffordable luxury for many. It's time to offer our compatriots high-quality eco-friendly Russian-made furniture. Our consumer now counts money, is sophisticated in the practicality of furniture and has tried Ikea.

Therefore, a successful furniture business idea should be:

  • cheap in production, competitive in price;
  • fresh and original, using design solutions;
  • environmentally friendly, using the ideas of recycling.

Furniture made from pallets (wooden construction pallets) meets these requirements. It can be country, garden, intended for offices and creating residential interiors in country, loft or industrial style. At the same time, it is not necessary to disassemble the pallets, they are used as modules, constructing author's models. The secret is in the right handling. Pallets are a cheap and grateful "building" material.

Important nuance. Furniture should look stylish and functional, not clumsy. Professional designers should participate in the development of models.

2 Products for animals: cheaper and healthier

According to VTsIOM, 76% of Russians have pets. We are third in the world in terms of the number of pets per capita after the US and China. What is profitable to produce in Russia for small businesses for smaller brothers?

The Russian pet food market is growing despite the crisis. In the most profitable market segment - food for cats and dogs - today there are two leaders: Mars and Nestle (joint share - 86%). They can and should be squeezed out by domestic producers. The main thing is to choose the right niche.

It is believed that Russians do not save on pets even when they themselves have nothing to eat. In real life, people switch animals to economy-class feed, preferring the most useful options available.

Healthy food for cats and dogs - minced meat and bones with vitamin and mineral supplements. Such feeds are used by specialized kennels, they are hunted by knowledgeable cat and dog owners. The production of "natural cutlets" for animals is carried out in Russia by a few small producers. The niche is uncompetitive.

For the production of natural food for cats and dogs, an expensive technological line is not needed, everything can be organized on a minimum area with small investment.

To start a complete production cycle equipment required:

  • cutting table for meat products;
  • meat grinder and minced meat mixer;
  • molding machine / scales;
  • shock freezer and "hot" table for packaging;
  • freezer.

The cost of natural feed is lower than that of industrial “drying”, even if it is produced from mechanically deboned meat, which is used in the manufacture of sausages. The business model is simple. The main limitation of sales is that there must be refrigeration equipment at the point of sale.

3 Building and finishing materials: money out of thin air

The building materials market is shrinking. According to a study by RD Construction analysts, a decline in production in January-July 2015 compared to the second half of 2014 was recorded for cement, ready-mixed concrete, reinforced concrete, red ceramic bricks: -12, -30, -15, -1.5%, respectively. This is how the reduction in the pace of mass housing construction backfired on building materials - the demand for housing is falling.

The main product of the recycling of old tires, crumb rubber, is used in the production of:

  • rubber tiles / paving stones;
  • coverings for sports grounds and fitness halls;
  • wall finishing materials;
  • innovative road surfaces;
  • accessories for cars (rugs, mudguards, etc.).

The cost of technological lines for "grinding" tires into crumb rubber depends on productivity, degree of automation of the process, quality and size of the output fraction. But in general, we are talking about costs of 1-12 million rubles. In addition to Chinese equipment options, there are also Russian ones: the factories of Vtorrezina Ecoprom LLC, Alfa-SPK LLC and others offer lines own design. It is better to prefer domestic equipment - both the quality of the product and the reliability of the machines are higher.

It is more profitable to produce goods with a high added value, i.e., in addition to crumb rubber, to issue tiles and coatings. The last two products are cold or hot molded from chips, polyurethane adhesive and dye. The cost of equipment starts from 2 million rubles.

The payback period for a mini-factory for the production of rubber tiles is from 6 months. The indicator is excellent, but the investments for the start will require impressive. There is a more economical entry option: many manufacturers (EcoStep, Masterfaybr, etc.) offer to start a franchise business. From 500 thousand rubles.

4 Goods for tourism: wide is my native country

The growth of the main world currencies and the appreciation of the cost work force in China have a positive effect on domestic market light industry. In 2015 the share Russian manufacturers in this industry has grown to 24% and continues to increase. What should a startup focus on?

Russians save money on vacation trips abroad. Most have to be content with local color and sponsor domestic tourism. They need equipment.

  • tourist clothing and equipment of the middle price category;
  • budget tents (up to 5,000 rubles);
  • fishing goods low- and mid-price segment (up to 3,000 rubles).

The production of backpacks, ventilated caps / hats, windproof hats, gloves, encephalitis, thermal underwear, sweaters is a profitable business. You can choose a very narrow niche and engage in the production of mobile baths or thermal bags.

It is not necessary to develop innovative raincoats-boats or T-shirts-life jackets. It is enough to make practical and functional products a la the Expedition clothing range. But at reasonable prices.

5 Automotive equipment: Thule from Tula

What is profitable to produce in Russia for cars, where is the free niche? Comparing our popular Swedish plastic autoboxes from Thule brand with analogues is the same as putting Rolex against ordinary watches. The Thule customer pays for style and brand first. Moreover, luggage boxes from the point of view of production are the simplest products. Thule cost in Europe in the range of $400-970. The price, which is not humane at the current dollar exchange rate, is already at the place of production, in Russian retail stores turns into completely amazing: premium solutions cost 60,000 - 100,000 rubles.

The middle price segment of the autobox market in Russia (10,000 - 20,000 rubles) is now under the gun of Polish, Czech, Italian and Chinese manufacturers. Items from the Middle Kingdom deserve special attention: they are widely presented, but the quality is objectively low. Time to make car trunks in Russia. Domestic manufacturers of boxes for cars exist as a class, but are counted on the fingers (brands ATLANT, VetlaN, LUX). Moreover, some have a meager assortment, others specialize in "luggage systems from European components" (read: they depend on fluctuations in exchange rates), and the quality of others is lame.

During the crisis, mini-production of universal luggage boxes (for all car brands) made of high-quality plastic with a reliable opening / locking system in low and medium price categories is beneficial.

This will require:

Cheaper to manufacture soft autoboxes made of polyester, PVC and other plastic polymers. But it's already clothing industry and a completely different story.

Mini factories for small businesses - 5 advantages + features of such production + 6 examples + 9 best mini factories.

People who decide to go into private business face certain problems as early as initial stage. What field of activity to choose? Where can you buy the right equipment? How to save?

Mini factories for small businesses- a good solution for young businessmen, which simplifies the search for answers to the above questions.

Why is it worth buying a plant in a mini format?

Before you start your business in the manufacturing sector, you need to pay attention to all the pros and cons of such activities.

The advantages of buying a mini plant for business include the following factors:

    Mobility.

    Small in size, compared to full-fledged plants, this equipment is easy to assemble, install and transport.

    Some mini factories are equipped with wheels, which allows you to quickly transfer them from one point to another.

    Small dimensions.

    This feature makes it possible not only to save on the rent of land and premises, but also, if necessary, to change the location of the mini-plant without any special costs.

    Small cash outlay to start a business.

    Due to the small size of the mini-plant, it becomes possible to save not only on the territory, but also on electricity. In addition, the maintenance of such equipment does not cause any special problems.

    Efficiency.

    This is probably the main factor that speaks about the benefits of such a business.

    Relatively small economic costs make it possible to create efficient enterprise, which is able to compete fully in the chosen field of activity.

As for the disadvantages of mini factories for small businesses, there are not so many of them. They are mainly related to the fact that the equipment. This makes it difficult to purchase the necessary parts in the event of a malfunction.

But if you are serious about choosing a mini plant, you can pick up equipment that will serve you. for a long time. In addition, recently there have been many Russian enterprises that specialize in the manufacture of such equipment.

Features of doing business using mini factories

Compared to large factories, starting a business using such equipment is much easier. But even here there are nuances and peculiarities.

No. 1. Niche selection.

To begin with, as in any business, you need to decide in which area of ​​​​production you are going to work. It is desirable that the chosen activity is close and understandable to you.

An important role in choosing the direction of business is played by competitiveness and demand in the region. It is best to occupy a niche that has great prospects, but has not yet gained popularity among private entrepreneurs.

Time is playing big role. The faster you start manufacturing a unique product in your region, the more chances you have to take a leading position in this area of ​​production.

No. 2. Business plan.

Clear and well thought out project own business is a very important factor in entrepreneurial activity.

For your business to be successful, you need to work on the following key points:

  • Calculate all expected expenses, starting from the purchase of a mini-factory, and ending with the cost of packaging the finished product.
  • Methods of delivery of products to the consumer, transportation costs.
  • Market search.
  • Location of the mini-format plant, search for employees.

    Most often they use the countryside, since the cost of land is low, and the level of wages for workers is much lower than in large metropolitan areas.

Number 3. Preparation of necessary documents.

The main advantage in opening a mini factory format is that to start a business it will be enough to register as an Individual Entrepreneur. To do this, you should study the relevant section of the FTS website: https://www.nalog.ru/rn77/ip/interest/reg_ip/petition/.

Otherwise, everything happens according to the standard scheme: obtaining permission to open a mini-factory from various municipalities; checks of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, etc.

A positive impact on the speed of paperwork and obtaining permission from local authorities is the fact that your business is associated with social significance for the area. For example, a mini waste recycling plant will receive government approval. In this case, there will even be a good chance to receive financial support from the state for business development.

Mini factories for small businesses - an overview of the best options

To date, there are many ideas for the development of small businesses in Russia using mini factories. Such popularity is due, first of all, to the need to make small cash investments in business development.

Also, many investors are attracted by the quick payback of the mini-plant.

Given the above reasons, there are several areas of production that are of great interest to Russian entrepreneurs:

    Construction.

    The most popular field of activity in our country, which contributes to the emergence of a wide variety of mini factories. There are separate units for the production of concrete, bricks, consumables building materials etc.

    Also has a wide range of activities. You can purchase mini-factories of different directions:

    • meat processing;
    • production of dairy products;
    • production of confectionery and bakery products;
    • juice production, etc.
  1. Waste recycling.

    This area of ​​activity, against the backdrop of worldwide concern about the state of environment, is gaining great popularity in the Russian Federation. A significant advantage of such a business is the approval of the authorities, which gives a chance to count on subsidies from the state.

    Light industry.

    It is quite profitable to open a mini-factory for the production of textile and knitwear (clothes, shoes), household goods, cosmetics, etc.

Whatever area of ​​production you choose, the main thing is to have knowledge in this area, analyze competitiveness and demand for goods. This will greatly increase the efficiency of your business.

Let's look at a few examples that use mini factory formats for small businesses.

Example #1. Brick production.

The cost of such equipment is from 1 million rubles and more. It should be noted that the cost of brick production is quite high. Buying one piece of equipment is not enough here - you will need different equipment. Also, the purchase of raw materials takes a considerable amount of money.

For example, for the manufacture of 1,000 bricks, about 800 kg of cement, 300 liters of water and more than 3,000 kg of basic raw materials will be needed. The capacity of equipment for such a business is usually very high, which also requires high costs - for electricity.

As we can see, a mini brick plant requires considerable material costs. However, the "financial output" from such an enterprise is very good. Many start-up entrepreneurs subsequently expanded their business, which brought even greater profits.

Example #2. Feed production.

It is advisable to open such an enterprise in countryside, closer to farm pastures. Thus, you will quickly gain a clientele and save on the delivery of goods.

This equipment carries out processing and crushing of grain (corn, wheat, barley, etc.). The quality of the product depends on the size of the crusher sieve to a greater extent. In the form of a room, you can use a garage or a barn. Heating is not required.

Due to its favorable location (near grain fields), most of the raw materials can be obtained from local farmers and agricultural enterprises.

Example #3. Concrete production.

To organize such a mini plant, you will need a concrete mixer, with which you can get a high-quality product. This option is most likely perfect for large construction firms serving large facilities. This can greatly simplify the work of the organization and save money (no need to turn to third-party services).

The mini format of a concrete plant is often made mobile so that it can be moved from one construction site to another. Transportation can be carried out using a tugboat or a tractor.

To buy such equipment, it is not necessary to be the owner construction organization. It can also be purchased by a private entrepreneur to rent to the same construction companies.

Example number 4. Production of foam blocks.

Foam block is a very popular material in construction. The equipment for their production is somewhat reminiscent of concrete mixers. However, the mixing of the mixture occurs in such a way that peculiar bubbles form in the finished material. This is done using a foam generator.

The main part of the costs for the manufacture of foam blocks will be for the purchase of cement. Before opening such a business, be sure to find a cement supplier that works on favorable terms.

The manufacture of foam blocks attracts many entrepreneurs because it does not require the use of any special technologies. The business is pretty simple and straightforward.

Example number 5. Milk processing.

The milk processing business is more complex than the previous examples. It is a whole complex, which consists of several stages of production. Accordingly, you will need several pieces of equipment to create a full-fledged mini-factory.

Depending on the cost of equipment, such a complex can process from 250 kg to 25 tons of milk in 24 hours. As a result, you can get a variety of dairy products (cottage cheese, Adyghe cheese, sour cream, etc.)

When opening such a business, you must be clearly aware of how much raw materials you will have. It depends on how much money you spend on the purchase of equipment.

To start such production, usually small workshops are organized.

Example number 6. Waste recycling.

This activity is very popular in Europe. The reason for this is the population growth in these countries, which leads to an increase in the amount of garbage produced. In addition, the ecological state of the Earth is getting worse, which forces us to come up with new ways to dispose of household waste.

Since this business area is distinguished by the increased attention of the state and is associated with the environment, it has some difficulties in paperwork. The bureaucratic process can drag on for several months. It is necessary to obtain a license from the Ministry of Ecology, permission from the sanitary and fire services, and much more.

The cost of opening such an enterprise can be measured in several million dollars. However, you can limit yourself to a business that specializes in the disposal of one type of waste. For example, let's say you want to go into plastic recycling.

For this you will need:

  • sorting unit;
  • conveyor;
  • press;
  • warehouse space.

You can improve your business and buy additional melting furnaces. Such a solution will significantly increase your income, since you will not only sort garbage, but also recycle it.

The following video will tell you about the advantages and disadvantages of mini-production.

Technology for the production of modular paintings

Modular paintings are made from stretchers and fabric on which the image is applied. The production technology is not complicated and anyone can master it. Ready-made stretchers are purchased from private wood craftsmen (or purchased in stores), and the image is printed on fabric using a conventional plotter.

wooden pallets

wooden pallet- a highly demanded product in logistics. Almost every industrial and commercial enterprise, which sells products in large quantities, needs pallets, which greatly facilitate the loading and unloading of goods.

Pallet production technology

On a small "garage" scale, pallets are made by hand, using a pneumatic hammer. The main difficulty is to produce those very thin boards that form the frame of the product. For cutting such boards, special multi-saw frame machines are used (for example, RM-50). The average price is 500,000 rubles. The approximate cost of one wooden pallet is 120 rubles, while the retail one is at least 200 rubles. "Navar" from 80 rubles. from one pallet.

Polyurethane molds

One of the most suitable ideas for mini home production is the production of silicone or polyurethane molds. Such forms are most often used for the production of decorative stone. The technology is quite simple, and from the equipment, only the “hands” of the master are mainly required. To begin with, a sample is bought, according to which the future matrix (form) will be produced. It is easier for everyone to copy samples from natural stone. The first thing they start with is to cut a sample of stone in a thin layer and stick it on a flat surface. Then formwork is created for pouring polyurethane. Joints are sealed. After the master model is ready, a release agent is applied to the surface of the model. Next, the polyurethane mixture is prepared. The most popular version is Ecarast RT 45A polyurethane. The resulting mixture is poured into the model and incubated for 4 - 5 hours. The form is ready!

The retail price of a silicone mold starts from 1800 rubles. Markup not less than 100%. You can (and should) sell these products online. So, according to Wordstat (Yandex statistics), the phrase “buy a mold for stone production” is searched for about 9,000 times a month! At the same time, there is practically no competition. How the silicone mold is made is clearly shown in the following video:

It should be taken into account that cake making order is seasonal. Most of the bookings are made in the spring, while in the summer there is silence, as people go on vacation. Profitability this business estimated at 70%.

Houses - shelves

It has recently become extremely fashionable to decorate children's rooms with shelving houses. This mini-furniture combines two useful functions at once. Firstly, this thing looks cool, and secondly, you can put toys, flowers, various trifles, etc. on it. At the same time, the house-shelf can not only be placed on the floor, but also hung on the wall. So it won't take up any space at all.

In general, the product is in high demand, it is ordered on the Internet and bought in furniture stores. The production of shelving houses is a great option for a small family business that can be organized in virtually “garage conditions”.

Shelf house production technology

You can buy materials for the house, so to speak ready-made. That is, you take ready-made wardrobe shelves, horizontal shelves, 10x3 cm boards, wood glue, nails, etc., cut the boards to the required sizes and assemble the structure. If you fork out for machines and produce a cabinet-shelf yourself, then the income will be even higher, since material costs are reduced. A house measuring 600 * 400 mm will cost at least 3000 rubles. (prices can be viewed online). While the cost of material is no more than 1000 r. "Navar" consider yourself. The main condition for the success of such a business is the presence of good craftsmen. In principle, even beginners can assemble a house-shelf. In the following video, an ordinary housewife assembles a similar design:

Pillows for pregnant women

A pregnancy pillow is a specific product that is bought, as the name implies, only for a specific occasion. But that doesn't make it low cost. On the contrary, the markup on pillows for pregnant women is several times higher than on classic options. So, the price of an ordinary pillow made of artificial filler is on average 500 rubles, while for pregnant women it is at least 1100 rubles. At the same time, the material and filler are, in fact, the same.

Pillows for pregnant women differ from ordinary pillows in their unusual design, which can take the form of a horseshoe or bagel to support the head and abdomen. The main purpose of such pillows is to adapt to the human body as conveniently as possible and provide comfort during rest. For a small manufacturer, this product is interesting because, unlike ordinary pillows, it is very often bought on the Internet. Therefore, sales are much less of a problem. Can make a small website to advertise in in social networks, on Avito, etc. There are many options in the "offline". For example, donate products to specialized stores for expectant mothers. The pillow production workshop can carry out a prefabricated function for the most part. That is, you buy pillowcases from TIK fabric or microfiber, cut them to the required sizes, and make covers from cotton, coarse calico, satin. As a filler, you can use holofiber or artificial swan down.

Not infrequently, such furnaces require an individual approach (each client needs his own dimensions and gadgets). Therefore, in addition to generally accepted standards, it is possible to produce furnaces to order.

One person can build a small oven in a mini-workshop. From the materials you will need sheets of metal, pipes, and from the tools - a welding machine, a protective mask, a hammer, a set of electrodes and a grinder. Earnings from one part sold will largely depend on the high cost of the purchased material. Well trade margin respectively.

  5. The production of a reinforced concrete ring will cost 800-1,300 rubles, it can be sold for 2,000 rubles.
  6. The margin for the production of polyurethane molds is 100%.
  7. Profitability of cakes to order -70%.
  8. The production of houses - shelves will cost 1,000 rubles, and they can be sold at a price of 3,000 rubles.
  9. The cost of pillows for pregnant women is 2 times higher than regular ones.
  10. 3,000-6,000 rubles will be spent on the production of a metal stove - a potbelly stove, and it can be sold for 10,000 rubles.

How much money do you need to start a business.

Again, it all depends on the type of mini-production. For some types of mini-business, you can not rent a room, but use your garage or a room in the private sector, and the production of custom-made cakes can be set up at home. For others, you need to rent manufacturing facility. Some businesses need to use wage labor and the costs will increase accordingly.

Asset turnover is fastest in retail, and organizing a service business is beneficial because it does not require significant investments. However, in these areas there is high competition, as well as dependence on the political and economic situation. It is more difficult to organize a manufacturing business, but its predictability and stability in the long run is higher.

Practice shows that the majority of private entrepreneurs organize activities in the service sector or retail. Creation industrial enterprises more difficult from a financial, organizational, technological point of view. However, according to statistics, they operate in almost all industries. Russian economy. The main thing is to choose the right production for a small business, to determine a niche.

This direction is often chosen by those who have experience in a large industrial enterprise, and were forced to quit for one reason or another. Such people understand better than others that the time interval between investing resources and making a profit can be long. But on the other hand, material production is a more promising business, especially in those places where there are opportunities for cooperation in a developed sector of the economy.

What industries are small businesses in?

According to the latest data from Rosstat, the majority of the SME sector are small businesses (36.3%) and individual entrepreneurs (30.2%). Only 9.2% falls on the average. Figure 1 shows the structure of their distribution by industry.

In fact, SMEs provide jobs for a quarter of the country's population (25%) and almost a third of all revenue (28%). Among them, the share of those spending on innovation is 68% of all enterprises in Russia.

The distribution of small businesses across Russia is very uneven. Most of them are concentrated: in Moscow and the Moscow region - 16%, St. Petersburg - 7%, in Sverdlovsk and Novosibirsk regions- 4% each, Krasnodar Territory - 3%. They make a tangible contribution to the economy (Figure 2).

Interesting feature. According to Eurostat, in Russia there are much more individual entrepreneurs employed in manufacturing than in most developed European countries. However, in comparison with Germany: in the extractive industries, the number of enterprises in our country is 2.6 (with up to 20 employees - 2) times more; in the manufacturing industry - 40% less.

The sphere of interests of small enterprises is quite wide (Fig. 1). In the natural state of affairs, finances always flow to where the return from them is greater. Therefore, the numbers give food for thought to those who are looking for profitable production for small businesses.

Where to start and where to look for a niche

When organizing a small business, two questions always arise: where to start and what are the most promising ideas for a small manufacturing business? The answer to the first of them can be sought in three directions.

  1. The acquisition of an already established enterprise without a fundamental change in its direction in order to make it more profitable.
  2. Creation of a new production from a zero cycle, without focusing on existing or familiar models.
  3. Buying a franchise.

A successful choice of a market niche and an assessment of the strength of one's place in it are of decisive importance for the successful organization of one's production. An analysis of the given sectoral distribution shows that the maximum part of SE is employed in the manufacturing industries. There are two directions in search strategies:

  1. The production of a completely new product, the need for which is just emerging, "ripens".
  2. Release of products available on the market with an emphasis on its features, enhanced opportunities for the consumer.

The famous American trader Larry Williams noted: “If everyone around you is talking about something, then you are most likely already too late.” You should not focus on fashion - it goes by pretty quickly.

The most cost-effective production for small businesses

From the statistics it is clear that the most profitable production for small businesses is located in the manufacturing sector: 11% (compared to agriculture: 5%). A large number of enterprises are engaged in the manufacture of:

  • machines, machine tools and electrical equipment - 20%;
  • food, clothing and footwear - 18%;
  • plastic, rubber, mineral products - 14%.

Manufacturing business in mechanical engineering

The share of machinery and equipment in the production of MP is 11% - the same as food products. However, given the current state of affairs in the economy, it is hardly worth technologically linking your business with machine-building enterprises.

More promising are the business ideas of production for small businesses, designed to meet the needs of food and light industry enterprises, or directly to the needs of the population. The main factors of success: simplicity of products, relatively homogeneous range, mass production, guaranteed sales market. A prerequisite for effectiveness is professional marketing research.

The main difficulty: the influx of foreign products High Quality, which is difficult for domestic enterprises to compete with. This makes it necessary to purchase high-performance imported equipment with great technological capabilities.

Common consumption goods

Most of the small enterprises and individual entrepreneurs are engaged in the manufacture of goods directly for the end consumer - the population. These are consumer goods: furniture, textiles, carpets, clothing for sports, recreation and overalls; hosiery. The undisputed leader is food products, and given the course towards import substitution, the prospects for this direction in the near future will only increase. The table below shows some examples of business plans and opinions of entrepreneurs involved in these types of businesses.

The Novosibirsk enterprise "Model Plant of Siberia" in 2012 was awarded a national award as the best small enterprise in the field of consumer products. It produces wooden molds for the foundry: blanks for machine tools, fences, mine tunnels, molds for diamond processing. Some items are shipped overseas. Along with this, the company produces inexpensive furniture for kindergartens and schools.

Serving the construction industry

About 40% of all SMEs, including private entrepreneurs, are employed in construction. This gives rise to ample opportunities aimed at the manufacture of specialized equipment, tools, building materials to meet the needs of this sector of the economy. They are practically inexhaustible, and here both traditional types of products and new production for small businesses are in demand:

  • hardware and metal structures (construction nails, modular fences);
  • plastic, rubber products (plastic windows; rubber tiles);
  • brick different types and dry building mixes;
  • stone natural, artificial (facing materials; tiles).

In the video, an entrepreneur from Engels talks about his experience in creating a profitable business for the production of aerated concrete blocks.

Modern business model for small businesses

As an advantage of small enterprises, their flexibility and mobility are most often noted:

  • the ability to accelerate the development of investments;
  • high capital turnover;
  • active innovative activity.

Inevitable difficulties in the organization are associated with limited own resources,

relatively low income and high labor intensity. This leads to increased risks in the competition.

The concept of "subcontracting" is becoming more and more common in MP. In fact, this is a well-forgotten old industrial cooperation. For small businesses, it brings significant benefits and growth prospects:

  • stability, ensuring constant orders;
  • entering new markets, product promotion

The subcontract system has been developed so far mainly in major cities, for example, in St. Petersburg its level is about 20%. The bottom line is that large enterprises focus on the production of key components containing know-how and perform final assembly. They save on space and equipment. The rest under subcontracts is produced for them by small enterprises. Such relationships have become widespread in the sectors:

  • mechanical engineering, metalworking;
  • parts made of polymers and rubber;
  • electronics, electrical engineering.

Many entrepreneurs are showing interest in this business organization model. This was shown by a survey at the All-Russian SME Conference held in May 2014 in Yekaterinburg (Fig. 3). Of these, almost a third (27%) are representatives of industrial enterprises.

The main platforms for interaction and search for partners: fairs and exhibitions of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, regional centers for subcontracting, coworking, exchanges. They make it possible to search for placed orders and offer their services directly. As an example, one of such centers "NPRS" can be cited, where about 800 enterprises are registered, of which almost half are SE (Fig. 4).

An example of effective cooperation in the agro-industrial complex Mordovian Bacon. It consolidates the activities of 20 agricultural enterprises, including small ones: a mixed feed plant, a grain growing company, several pig farms, and meat processing plants. Gradually transferred: cars to private entrepreneurs on a lease basis, farms- land and equipment.

Finally. Small manufacturing business has good prospects for development. Large companies, as a rule, are focused on homogeneous, mass demand. Small companies are more efficient in certain small market segments, as they are capable of rapid changes and have greater economic flexibility. Counting on the stability of your business, you need to use the opportunities of interaction with major partners.
