Any business idea involves a certain activity, the end result of which is earnings. And the best is the situation when the pleasant is combined with the useful. And this directly relates to giving and the possibility of making a profit. Of course, this will not always be able to make a country house a source of basic income, but, nevertheless, who will refuse a few additional thousand rubles a month? So, is it difficult to organize a business in the country, or how to make a good living?
general information
There are quite a few different ideas and ways to implement them. All of them, of course, will not be considered. But we will list the most worthwhile ones. Here are just a few options:
- Organization of the studio.
- Lease (of the summer house or bath).
- Quail Farm.
- Mushroom cultivation.
- Creating an apiary.
- Growing greens, vegetables and fruits.
With a thoughtful approach, these ideas, which are now seen as an additional financial leverage, can even become the main source of income. It is likely that some options are already familiar to the reader. Others will be new, but they will be appreciated. Can I organize a business in the country? Options are offered, the choice is yours.
Studio Organization
In the information society, service-oriented business is becoming more widespread. Studios are a very convenient form of work at the micro level. They do not require much space, but are profitable enterprises. Therefore, if you have talent in a certain field, you can try to create your own business. What skills are useful in this case? If there are no problems with programming, design, high-quality photos - you should think about working in the area of interest. In the first (and the second case), you can create a small enterprise specializing in creating applications. To search for the first customers, you can turn to state tenders: now the government is actively informing, and many organizations need their own website. Such a small business in the country can subsequently grow into a rather rather large and profitable software company or even more.
Rental
If it is not possible, due to certain circumstances, to conduct activities, real estate can be transferred for temporary use to someone else. The reasons for this decision may be several - a long stay in another country, a business trip, having a baby or something else - it does not matter. All the same, a cottage requires expenses like land tax, utility bills, security. When renting, you can zero out existing expenses, and with a competent approach, it’s nice to make money. The main task is to find people who will maintain order and steadily pay money. The first one can be achieved by introducing special conditions into the lease such as weed removal, gardening and other things, in exchange for which a certain discount of one or two rubles will be given. You can practice letting go for a couple of days for companies who want to relax in the fresh air. This is especially suitable for people who own a bath, sauna or pool. But chasing big profits should not be, it is advisable to choose adequate people who will not damage property.
Option with a bath and service
Let's dwell on this in more detail. It must be understood that the main customers will be people who are interested in the opportunity to "hide" from unauthorized persons and relax in the bathhouse, near which there is a barbecue, green garden, a place to relax or a cool pool.This option is suitable if the point is located in a suburban area or at a short distance from the city and is well equipped. Everything else is a matter of advertising and personal desire to earn. Quite common is the practice of building a bathhouse just for delivery. Judging by the reviews, a comfortable structure pays off in a year or two. But the bathhouse remains in the property, and on occasion you can take a steam bath yourself.
Quail farm
This is a great opportunity to make money on meat and eggs, but it should be noted that this is a rather risky venture. And that's why:
- It is necessary to work out the ways of marketing meat and quail eggs. This is certainly a useful product, but at first it may not work to get a permanent contract with a distribution network or even just a store, and you will have to sell products on the market.
- Care problems. Quail needs to be constantly looked after. It is honest to say that this is a rather complicated matter. We have to take into account a large number of factors and work out many points: feed, medicine, waste disposal. Therefore, it is better to practice poultry if it was decided to build a business on it.
- We'll have to deal with quite vulnerable and demanding birds. It will be necessary to clean their cells every day, monitor the lighting, which should be 18-20 hours a day, add feed on time and pour water (and do not overfeed them), and any more or less serious epidemic will be able to mow the majority of the farm’s inhabitants literally in a few days, which will lead to significant losses.
But if everything is organized correctly, then the income will be substantial. The first money can be counted in a month or two (and if you buy grown birds, then this is a matter of two weeks), when the eggs go. At the same time, they rush at the same time and can be sent to restaurants at a good price. True, this specificity is revealed here: with a small population the income will be appropriate, and several hundred animals can be problematic to place.
Greens, vegetables and fruits
We continue to consider business ideas that are possible for implementation in the country, and we will devote it to the aspect of part-time work. It will be difficult to earn a lot in this case. Rather, the actual food and a little for sale. The industrial approach requires a significant change in work. It is necessary to think over the issues of choosing varieties, equipment, fertilizers and, of course - what to grow. If you have no idea what to pay attention to, you can turn to strawberries and apples. Both the first and second in the Russian market are not enough, so there is where to turn around. You should try to maximize productivity. And in this, greenhouses can significantly help. Where and how to use them?
The use of greenhouses
You can talk a lot about them. Here you can deal with mushrooms, flowers, herbs. True, there are several points to consider:
- Ensuring a year-round cycle. In the northern latitudes there can be certain problems with this, while to the south it is not so difficult.
- Need to work on quality. Equipment, seedlings, seeds, fertilizers, substrates, watering, lighting - this is an incomplete list of issues that are addressed in the first place.
- Correctly calculate the size of the crop. It should be borne in mind that a greenhouse measuring 10-12 squares will not give a commercial effect. Here it is the same as with quails - it is necessary to aim at an industrial scale, the desired minimum is five or even ten hundredths.
Option with mushrooms
Speaking of what kind of business is possible in the country, this one could not have been put first, if not for a couple of small “buts”. Initially, it is necessary to determine the goal - an exotic or industrial variety. The first is more difficult to maintain, but more cost effective. In the case of mushrooms, it is not difficult to make them a source of basic income, if only because they grow rapidly, and the production cycle is repeated three to four times a year, or even more.The requirements of various types should be taken into account. It is necessary to take care of ventilation, temperature, humidity, lighting. Special substrates, top dressing can contribute to growth. And if you enter the market with products at a balanced price, then there will be no problems finding a place to sell.
Apiary
To do this business, having one desire, will be problematic. For successful activity, you need to read a lot of literature, communicate with experienced people, pass theoretical and practical training. But this business idea is worth all this work: after all, bees in the country are both useful and profitable. And the first revenues are possible even a quarter after the start of operations. In the first year, with a competent approach, all initial costs will already be recouped by two to three times. Of course, an apiary is very difficult, there are pitfalls here, but if you set a goal, then achieving it is quite real. And most importantly - there are no problems with the sales market, since the population buys honey with a bang, and there are wonderful opportunities for export if it is decided to work in the markets of several countries. For a good start, you should take care of the place, beehives, bee families, special equipment, medicines and the availability of territory for honey collection. But if you place an apiary in a summer cottage, then a significant plus will be a large amount of vegetation, from which insects will independently collect pollen. However, they do not take up much space - for themselves and for sale, 5-7 hives are enough, which can easily fit on 10-14 square meters. And if there are several hundred hectares of land, then you can act even on an industrial scale.
What else?
It would be a desire, you can always organize a business in the country. Ideas, production, marketing - these are the three pillars on which any business rests. Such a situation has developed that in many areas of the market there are free niches. It is enough to just want and work - and everything will be sure. By the way, in addition to the ideas discussed above, there are some more. Consider them in detail will not allow the size of the article, but you can still make a simple list:
- Breeding of worms (rain and California).
- Production of decorative blocks, bricks and stone.
- Breeding rabbits and poultry;
- Organization of a small sawmill.
- Pressing fuel briquettes.
- Homemade wine production.
- Making cages and pens, wicker furniture.
As you can see, if you wish, you can organize a small business in the country. There are ideas, you only need to thoroughly prepare, evaluate all the possible risks, think about what the heart is for, and move on to action.
