Well, you're ready - then let's get started!🙂

1. Which manufacturing business idea should you choose?

Despite the seemingly established competition in all industries, finding and occupying your niche in the market is more than possible! I will say more, from personal experience I have been convinced more than once that some niches in a particular city/region can be practically free from competition - all that remains is to occupy them and make a profit!😀

So, in fact, opening your own profitable manufacturing business turns out to be not as difficult as you might imagine; the main thing is to approach this matter responsibly and choose a business idea that suits your capabilities and interests, which would be in demand among the population.

Below in the article we have provided a list of the most popular production ideas for small businesses. To make it more convenient for you to decide on a particular business, each idea will be considered based on the following criteria:

• initial investment;
• required equipment/materials/room…;
• average profitability;
• payback;
• demand for products;
• complexity of production.

If you have a small initial capital, then first of all pay attention to simple business ideas that you can implement at home/in an apartment/garage (there are quite a few of them listed in the article).

In addition, before bringing a business idea to life, analyze the market, purchasing power and competition in your city or region.

A few words should be said separately about competition. Of course, the easiest way to start production is in an area where there is little or no competition. Such niches can be found in almost every city. But in this situation, it is important to understand that in some of them the demand for products may be narrow or limited.

As for high competition, there is no need to be afraid of it - if it exists, then this indicates, first of all, that this product is in great demand among the population. This means that if you position yourself correctly, you can always take your place in the market.

❗️ Advice from personal experience:
Do not invest a lot of money into production right away, especially if you are not sure that the business will take off. Start small, and once you are sure that the goods you produce are in good demand, expand production.

Please also keep in mind that product sales plays a key role in production, so you need to pay special attention!

But let’s not digress too much from the topic of this article - you can read more about the proper organization of sales and other important principles for building a successful business that will save you a lot of money and time towards the end of the article.

Well, now, finally, let's move on to the review of business ideas! 👇

2. Business ideas for production for small businesses - 37 relevant and popular ideas

Below you can find a huge number of low-budget ideas and even those that can be implemented practically from scratch! Some of the business ideas for production are suitable not only for men, but also for women.

Idea No. 1 - Production of decorative artificial stone

ATTACHMENTS: ≈ from 30,000 - 100,000 rubles.

DESCRIPTION OF THE IDEA: Artificial stone is widely used as decoration both indoors (for cladding walls, shelves) and outside (for foundations, facades...).

This is a fairly profitable business, and most importantly, in demand among the population - on average, the demand for decorative stone is growing by 10% annually.

Here it is important, as in any production, to first of all organize the sale of products. For example, regular cooperation with finishers often makes it possible to organize constant sales of artificial stone. In addition, it is worth establishing wholesale supplies to companies that sell building materials.

Additional income can come from finishing and stone delivery services (or recommendations from those who provide such services).

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

• matrix forms;
• cement and sand (or gypsum);
• pigments (dyes) and other additives;
• room on average from 30-70 sq. meters (possible at home/dacha);
• vibrating table (relevant for mass production of stone).

The technology for producing artificial stone is quite simple: a solution is prepared from cement and sand (gypsum), poured into molds and hardened. Coloring can be done either after the stone has hardened, or when preparing a solution by adding powder pigments to it.

Gypsum stone is mainly used for interior work, and concrete stone is used for façade finishing. However, it has been noticed that the demand for concrete stone is significantly higher than for gypsum stone.

Cost of 1 sq. m of such stone usually does not exceed 200-250 rubles, the market value is on average 500-700 rub. per sq. meter .

Idea No. 2 - Making paving slabs

ATTACHMENTS: ≈ from 80,000 - 150,000 rub.

DESCRIPTION OF THE IDEA: Another idea, similar in many ways to the previous one, is the production of paving slabs.

This type of business is in great demand, as demand from individuals and the state is only growing over time. However, competition in this niche is usually above average.

But with the right positioning, you can always take your place in the market. For example, in small towns, budget paving slabs are very popular; therefore, in the absence of local manufacturers, such a business can bring significant profits. It is also possible to produce luminous paving slabs, which are now only gaining popularity.

It is worth adding that tile production is a relatively low-cost business and it is quite easy to organize even right at home.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

• molds (from 20-35 rub. 1 pc.);
• vibrating tables (about 25 thousand rubles);
• room 50-80 sq. m.;
• cement, sand and crushed stone;
• pigments and mineral additives
• phosphor (for glowing tiles).

To organize the production of paving slabs, as a rule, 2-3 people will be enough. The production process is quite labor-intensive.

💡 The cost of producing a square meter of tiles averages 150-240 rubles with a wholesale price of 350-400 rubles. Even a small production - about 300 sq. meters per month brings clean 35-50 thousand rubles .

By the way, another advantage of this business is that it is not subject to certification and licensing!

Idea No. 3 - Making construction cinder blocks

ATTACHMENTS: ≈ from 50,000 - 90,000 rub.

IDEA DESCRIPTION:

Making cinder blocks is a very profitable business! Since the cost of slag blocks is low compared to brick, gas and foam blocks (one block replaces six bricks), they are widely in demand in construction for the construction of walls and foundations.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

• machine for making cinder blocks,
• cement and additives (plasticizers),
• building materials (slag, sand).

You will also need a warehouse for storing blocks and a production facility with a size of 40 sq. m. meters.

❗️ The cost of one cinder block is approximately 14-18 rubles, and its selling price is 24-26 rubles.

A team of two to three people per shift can usually produce up to 800 pieces, As a result, with such a turnover it is possible to make a profit Ot 3-5 t. rub .

Products can be sold wholesale to construction and trading companies, and retail to individuals. Cooperation with construction teams can also bring good sales volumes!

Idea No. 4 – Making modular paintings

Idea No. 5 – Production of furniture without a frame

INVESTMENTS: ≈ from RUB 10,000.

IDEA DESCRIPTION:

The production of frameless upholstered furniture (bin run) is a relatively new and unique business. Its main difference is that production requires mainly only material (fabric) and loose filler, which takes the shape of the body of a sitting person.

The most popular types of frameless furniture are soft ottomans and armchairs (bags), as well as sofas. You can organize the production of upholstered furniture directly in your apartment or at home.

The main potential buyers are young families with children with an average income. It is worth noting that due to its originality and low cost, such furniture sells especially well online.

Its essence is that you find clients, discuss all the details and nuances, take an advance payment, purchase all the necessary ready-made materials and assemble furniture to individual sizes.

Such a business is very profitable and with minimal investment can pay for itself in just 1-3 months.

Idea No. 7 - Making bio-fireplaces

INVESTMENTS: ≈ from RUB 20,000.

IDEA DESCRIPTION:

A relatively new and promising business idea in the manufacturing sector is the production of environmentally friendly fireplaces. Such biofireplaces do not require a chimney, since the carbon dioxide that is released during the combustion of biofuel is completely safe for people.

The advantages of this business idea are that, on the one hand, there are very small investments for its implementation, and on the other hand, it can bring very significant profits and recoup all investments within 1 month.

At the same time, all production can be organized independently at home or in the garage.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

• glass cutting tools or equipment;
• consumables: glass, stainless steel, sealants, biofuel (bioethanol)…

INVESTMENTS: ≈ from RUB 35,000.

IDEA DESCRIPTION:

Perhaps not a single summer cottage is complete without gazebos and garden houses where you can sit quietly and relax. That is why the production of garden houses and gazebos is a relevant and fast-paying business.

❗️Aquarium business can bring in on average from 30,000 to 150,000 rubles!

3. Sales are a key element of any production! Personal experience and useful recommendations

And now let’s devote a little time to one of the most important moments in production - sales of products . Below I will briefly try to explain why, before producing anything, it is important to clearly understand how exactly the product will be sold.

I really hope that the experience described will be useful to any of you and will allow you not to step on the same rake that I did when opening my own business.

In my practice, I have been convinced more than once that it is often poorly established and unstable sales that lead to the fact that a business never begins to make a profit or brings in very little.

In life, it usually happens that many beginning entrepreneurs first invest money, start producing something, and only then think about selling their products (and sometimes have no idea at all how to sell their products).

⚡️ It is important!
Any production lives only through the sale of products: no sales ➡️ no sales ➡️ no business ! Therefore, before starting a business, carefully plan through which sales channels and how the products will be sold!

remember, that Sales is the basis of any business! The success of your business depends 80% on sales!

As for sales, there are 2 main channels for selling products:

• directly to the client (for example: through your own retail outlets/shops/offices; through advertising, newspaper advertisements and bulletin boards; through your website and/or group on social networks, word of mouth…);
• through wholesale and retail intermediaries (for example, it is a very common practice to give intermediaries products for sale, since this does not oblige them to anything, most of them will agree to cooperate).

In order to build a stable and successful manufacturing business, analyze and work through all the sales options currently available to you. After all, often until you try, you won’t know which sales channel will generate the main income.

By the way, also use Internet to find new clients— many people underestimate him, but in vain. For example, I know many entrepreneurs for whom the Avito bulletin board is almost the only source of clients, and at that it’s free!

Here are some more tips from my personal experience:

1️⃣ It will always be useful analyze the market , pricing and evaluate competition. As I already mentioned, the presence of competition is not always bad; on the contrary, it indicates that this or that niche is in demand by the market!

As for demand, it can be approximately estimated in your city/region using an online statistics service Wordstat(wordstat.yandex.ru) from Yandex. And with the help of bulletin boards (Avito, for example), you can test demand even before you start producing anything!

2️⃣ It won’t hurt to make a small business plan on the chosen idea (especially for beginners in business). Just don’t need to compile it into 50 sheets, make detailed calculations... - this won’t be of much use, because, as a rule, in life everything turns out completely differently than on paper.

It will be enough to describe the idea on just a few sheets of paper in order to simply understand from the inside how the business works and how it functions, what is important and what is not...

3️⃣ For a business to be successful, it is very important to find your strengths and differentiate yourself from competitors. For example, you can stand out due to low price, product quality, high level of service, speed of delivery, etc. Describe your ideal customer and focus on their main preferences and interests.

4️⃣ I do not recommend starting entrepreneurs to start producing any innovative products , for which there is still no demand. This requires a lot of experience and quite large investments, since in practice, out of 10 new products, only 1-2 are launched!

❗️ Therefore, it is better for beginners to start with goods for which there is already a steady demand.🙂

5️⃣ Dedicate yourself to your work completely and with love . There is no need to act half-heartedly and with thoughts: it may work out, or it may not. Have a clear vision that it will only happen the way you intended. And of course, do your business with love for people, then you will definitely achieve success!

4. Conclusion

So you have learned about the most common and relevant ideas for production in a small business! I really hope that the information in this article was useful to you and helped you find the right idea for yourself!

In conclusion, I would like to add, don’t be afraid to start your own business - try and take action! Of course, mistakes will be made along the way, but this is completely normal - they learn from mistakes, and only those who do nothing make mistakes!

Therefore, have more self-confidence and remember that the modern world is a world of enormous opportunities in which everyone can take their place! It all depends on you and your aspirations!

But money does not always play the main role in creating and building a successful business!

This concludes the article! I sincerely wish you great success in business and life!!!👍😀

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

People who decide to start private entrepreneurship face certain problems at the initial stage. Which field of activity should I choose? Where can I buy suitable equipment? How to save money?

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

Why is it worth purchasing a plant in mini format?

Before you start your own manufacturing business, 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 move them from one point to another.

Small dimensions.

This feature allows you not only to save on renting land and premises, but also, if necessary, to change the location of the mini-factory without special costs.

Low cash costs to start a business.

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

Efficiency.

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

Relatively small economic costs make it possible to create an effective enterprise that is capable of full competition in the chosen field of activity.

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

But if you take the choice of a mini plant seriously, you can choose equipment that will serve you for a long time. In addition, recently many Russian enterprises have appeared 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 here too there are some nuances and peculiarities.

No. 1. Choosing a niche.

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

Competitiveness and demand in the region play an important role when choosing a business direction. It is best to occupy a niche that has great prospects, but has not yet gained popularity among private entrepreneurs.

Time plays a big role. The faster you start manufacturing a unique product in your region, the greater your chances of taking a leading position in this area of ​​production.

No. 2. Business plan.

Clear and competent drafting of your own business is a very important factor in entrepreneurial activity.

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

• Calculate all expected expenses, from the purchase of a mini plant to the cost of packaging the finished product.
• Methods of delivering products to the consumer, transportation costs.
• Search for a sales market.
• Location of mini-format plant, search for employees.

  Rural areas are most often used, since the cost of land is low, and the level of wages for workers is much lower than in large metropolitan areas.

No. 3. Preparation of necessary documents.

The main advantage of opening a mini-format plant is that to start a business it will be enough to register as an Individual Entrepreneur. To do this, you should study the corresponding section of the Federal Tax Service 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-plant from various municipalities; inspections of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, etc.

The speed of processing documents and obtaining permission from local authorities is positively influenced by the fact that your business is associated with social significance for the area. For example, a mini waste processing 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

Today there are many ideas for developing small businesses in Russia using mini factories. This popularity is due, first of all, to the need to make small financial investments in business development.

Many investors are also attracted by the quick payback of the mini plant.

Taking into account the above reasons, we can identify several areas of production that are of great interest to Russian entrepreneurs:

Construction.

The most popular area 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, consumable 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. Garbage recycling.

   This field of activity, against the backdrop of global concern about the state of the environment, is gaining great popularity in the Russian Federation. A significant advantage of such a business is approval from 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 products (clothing, shoes), household goods, cosmetics, etc.

Whatever production area you choose, the main thing is to have knowledge in this area, analyze the competitive ability and demand for the product. This will significantly improve the efficiency of your enterprise.

Let's look at a few examples that use mini-format plants for small businesses.

Example No. 1. Brick production.

The cost of such equipment ranges from 1 million rubles and more. It is worth noting that the costs of producing bricks are 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, to make 1,000 bricks you will need about 800 kg of cement, 300 liters of water and more than 3,000 kg of basic raw materials. The power of equipment for such a business is usually very high, which also requires high costs for electricity.

As we can see, a mini brick production plant requires considerable material costs. However, the “financial return” from such an enterprise is very good. Many aspiring entrepreneurs subsequently expanded their business, which brought even greater profits.

Example No. 2. Production of compound feed.

It would be advisable to open such an enterprise in rural areas, closer to farmers’ pastures. This way, you will quickly gain a clientele and save on delivery of goods.

This equipment processes and crushes grain (corn, wheat, barley, etc.). The quality of the product largely depends on the size of the crusher sieve. You can use a garage or barn as a room. No heating required.

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

Example No. 3. Concrete production.

To organize such a mini plant, you will need a concrete mixer, with which you can obtain a high-quality product. This option is most likely perfect for large construction companies that service large projects. This can significantly simplify the organization’s work and allow you to save money (you won’t have to use the services of third-party companies).

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

To buy such equipment, you do not have to be the owner of a construction organization. It can also be purchased by a private entrepreneur in order to rent it out to the same construction companies.

Example No. 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 mixture is mixed in such a way that peculiar bubbles are formed in the finished material. This is done using a foam generator.

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

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

Example No. 5. Milk processing.

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

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 clearly understand how much raw material you will have. This determines how much money you will spend on purchasing equipment.

To launch such production, small workshops are usually organized.

Example No. 6. Garbage recycling.

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

Since this area of ​​business receives increased attention from the state and is related to the environment, it has some difficulties in processing documents. The bureaucratic process can drag on for several months. It is necessary to obtain a license from the Ministry of Environment, permission from sanitary and fire services, and much more.

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

To do this you will need:

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

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

Manufacturing business is a profitable business idea. Even a beginner who does not have large sums to invest can do it.

Although manufacturing business often requires large capital investments; this business is not only profitable, but also allows it to be realized profitably.

And this is often much more important for many entrepreneurs than the amount of revenue.

After all, the trading business is based on the final stage of someone's production.

That is, no matter how skillfully you trade, your name is unlikely to go down in business history.

But at the same time, you need to start from customer demand first of all when selecting ideas for the manufacture of goods and products for sale.

Demand will influence the set price, production volumes and, in fact, the fact itself: is the chosen business idea worth implementing?

Although this business usually requires substantial investments, 300-500 thousand rubles (sometimes even less than this) are enough to organize a mini-production.

Below we will look at several examples from each “price niche”.

Mini business ideas for production with investments up to 300 thousand

Mini production is a great idea for a novice entrepreneur who has the zeal, time, ideas, but does not have the funds for a more serious startup.

If you fit that description, up your nose.

Don’t think that with a capital of less than 300,000 you can only weave beaded bracelets or make homemade soap.

With such a contribution, you can also become the owner of a normal, serious manufacturing business.

What kind of production can you open for 300 thousand rubles: making keys

Capital investments: from 60,000 rubles.

A great manufacturing business idea for a budding entrepreneur.

Indeed, despite the simplicity of implementation, it has significant advantages:

• there are practically zero risks in the field;
• the amount of investment in the business is small;
• It is profitable to run such a production business - the profitability level reaches 500%;
• The cost of ready-made keys is high, and the cost of blanks is low.

To work in this area, certain specific skills are still needed.

But they are not as difficult to understand for the average person as many people think.

A novice entrepreneur can master them himself without any problems.

Step-by-step instructions for the process of organizing a key production business look like this:

1. Complete the necessary documents: individual entrepreneur, current account, Federal Tax Service.
2. Find a small retail outlet for rent (2-4 m2 is enough).
   It is important that it is located in crowded areas.
3. Buy equipment and consumables for business key production.

What will the 60 thousand rubles of capital investment be spent on?

Total:	From 60,000 rub.
Preparation of documents, permits	2 000
Retail space rental, renovation and decoration	15 000
Minimum equipment set	15 000
Set of hooks (from 50 pieces)	1 000

Business ideas for fresh juice production

Capital investment: 60,000 rub.

Business payback: from 3 months

Juice is a product that is now available on the shelves of any store, in any flavor variations.

But buyers are no longer satisfied that only the name remains of the juice in the drinks sold.

The popularization of a healthy lifestyle has led to an increase in demand for fresh, completely natural juices.

Therefore, the idea of ​​a business for its production is relevant, profitable and at the same time requires small investments.

If you choose a good place to rent (a shopping center or a recreation park) for your mini business producing freshly squeezed juice, producing fresh juice will be very profitable.

With an average sales level of 10-20 l/day, revenue will be at least 30 thousand rubles.

And this is just from one point!

What kind of production can you open with 500 thousand rubles or more?

“Money itself is only a means of exchange; its existence is impossible without the production of goods and people who know how to produce. Money gives weight and form to the basic principle that people who wish to deal with each other must communicate through exchange, giving one value for another.
In the hands of slackers and beggars, begging with tears for the fruits of your labor, or bandits who take them from you by force, money loses its meaning and ceases to be a means of exchange.
Money became possible thanks to people who knew how to produce.”
Ayn Rand. Atlas Shrugged

As you can already see, with even up to 300 thousand you can open your own mini business production, which will operate and develop profitably.

Of course, if you have a large capital - from 500,000 - the number of business ideas increases.

How to open your own breakfast cereal production?

Capital investment: 700,000 rub.

Business payback: from 9 months

Once upon a time, breakfast cereals were exclusively an attribute of prosperous foreign countries.

But already in the 90s they began to come into use among Russians and at the moment they have firmly taken their place.

Moreover, if we compare consumption volumes with Western ones, it becomes obvious that this niche will still develop.

While the average Russian consumes 300-500 g of breakfast cereal per year, for a European the volume increases to 4 kg.

Also, the fact that the implementation of this idea is profitable is indicated by an increase of 25-30% annually.

And this is a serious indicator!

There are two reasons for the growing popularity of the muesli and cereal business:

1. The popularity of leading a healthy lifestyle is growing (and ready-made breakfasts are considered a healthy and worthy diet).
2. The average income of the population is gradually increasing.

However, the level of competition is currently at a moderate level.

And to enter this niche you need an investment of up to 1,000,000 rubles.

Business expense item	Amount (rub.)
Total:	700,000 rub.
Renting territory for production (for mini production 150 m2 is enough, and to accommodate a universal line – from 300 m2)	280 000
Equipment (mixture tank, vibrating sieve, dryer, conveyor, rolling equipment, extruder, separator, etc.)	250 000
Loading conveyor	75 000
Public utilities (electricity, water)	50 000
Payment to employees (manager, technologist, 4 production workers)	80 000
Purchasing containers for packaging the product (boxes, bags)	35 000
Advertising campaign	30 000

Of course, you won’t be able to compete with well-known manufacturers at the national level right away.

But it is not necessary to do this, because at the regional level you can get ahead of them due to a more favorable price or active internal advertising.

With a well-drafted business plan and business management, the idea will pay off in no more than 9 months.

How to open a production facility with an investment of 1 million rubles or more?

Business production ideas for entrepreneurs with such large sums of money to invest are almost limitless.

An entrepreneur may not sell it to third-party sellers, but sell it himself, which will be even more profitable.

Even during general electrification, people buy and will continue to buy both ordinary table candles and decorative ones, including mini gift sets.

At the same time, starting such a business is quite simple.

Approximate cost items are shown in the table:

Business expense item	Amount (rub.)
Total:	From 1,000,000 rub.
Forms for filling (if you are opening a manual production)	Depends on the type. For example, to make egg-shaped candles you need a mold that costs 35,000.
Foundry machine (with different shapes)	The machine itself will cost 355,000 rubles. And the cost of the molds varies depending on the material used: plastic – from 1600, aluminum – 16,000-30,000 (with and without cooling), with radiators – from 22,000. In general, you will need to purchase molds in the amount of 120,000.
Tank for kindling candle mixture	From 34,000
Wick weaving machine	From 160,000
Installation and configuration of equipment	20 000
Purchase of raw materials for candle production	490 000
Unaccounted expenses	10 000

Opening a business producing various candles is not difficult even for a novice entrepreneur.

At the same time, the average monthly revenue of the plant when producing 22 work shifts/8 hours will be at least 290,000.

So if a businessman purchases high-quality raw materials and equipment that he can use 100%, the investment will fully pay off in 12-14 months.

How to start your own neon sign production?

Capital investment: RUB 1,500,000.

Business payback: up to 12 months

After all, everyone understands perfectly well that the cost of ordering such advertising is much higher than on conventional paper media.

And at the same time, Russian people have a strong emotional association with the lights of Las Vegas or New York.

The list of potential clients of neon advertising manufacturers is large:

For implementation, you can contact potential clients directly, which takes time, but allows you to increase revenue.

Or you can use the services of intermediaries.

Opening a sign manufacturing plant will require significant capital investment.

The mini configuration option will cost you 300-500 thousand. A full set of equipment - no less than 800,000.

But in addition to purchasing equipment, an entrepreneur must also invest in renting a suitable territory, purchasing consumables for production, and paying employees.

Therefore, if you have less than 1,500,000 capital, it is better to choose another business idea for implementation.

The production and sale of neon signs is a profitable business that, on average, pays off in less than a year of work.

For those who are interested in this business idea,
