Instruction manual

If you are interested in the field of beauty, you can open a business of a hairdresser or makeup artist without any special expenses. To do this, you will need to acquire the appropriate education if you do not have it (as a rule, these are courses that last up to six months) and acquire all the necessary accessories, i.e. purchase cosmetics, perfumes, hair dryers, combs and scissors. You can start a business while still studying, practicing with friends for a small fee. Subsequently, they will be able to recommend you to their friends, and after a while you will have regular customers.

A simple business comes from a hobby. If you can sew, you can open a home studio. Many prefer to sew evening and formal clothes than to buy, in addition, there are events such as balls or role-playing games, visitors of which are unlikely to find a costume in the store. For them you will be indispensable. All you need is a sewing machine and other accessories for sewing. Material will be purchased by customers. You can advertise yourself through friends and forums of fans of balls, carnivals, role-playing games, etc.

If you have always been the soul of the company and were able to entertain guests, the organization of celebrations can be a profitable business for you. You can start by holding several small events with friends. Browse through recordings of leading holiday events, find a DJ who will work with you. This business practically does not require costs.

You can also just use a business idea that will always be in demand, for example, open a small grocery store within walking distance. To do this, it will be enough to rent a small room in a visible place and install a colorful sign, as well as find suppliers and purchase goods. Such stores practically do not need advertising, because they will always have customers - residents of neighboring houses. For the operation of the store you will need two sellers.

If you still want to open not as simple a business as a small store, but also not too complicated and risky for a beginner, you can buy a franchise of some famous institution. It can be a coffee shop, a beauty salon, a restaurant. Their advantage is that they are already famous, so you do not have to work on attracting customers. You will need to search on the sites of franchise stores the option that suits you, meet with the representative of the franchisor and discuss the conditions of the institution’s purchase (as a rule, branded equipment will be transferred, trained personnel will be invited, contacts will be made with suppliers). You will be required to pay a certain percentage of profit to the franchisor.
