Not all types of activities that get along in garage boxes are given. Ideas already implemented in practice are given.

Conventionally, the types of industries and services can be summarized in several groups:

1. Low-cost, budgetary activities.
2. Medium-cost.
3. High cost.

Low-cost activity

Low-cost, budget- an economical type of activity that requires a small (no more than ten thousand rubles) investment of initial capital.

These types include:

1. Renting out your own garage... Possible initial capital investments include the cost of strengthening the gate, connecting a burglar alarm. Without these works, the rental amount, if any, will be 3-5 times lower than expected.
2. Placement of a mini-workshop for packaging bulk building mixtures... Initial investments are expenses for the purchase of a welding machine for plastic bags, the actual plastic bags, instructions on paper and scales with a set of loads. Raw materials - bags weighing 25-30 kg each with dry mixes, at the first stage and in small volumes, can be taken with a deferred payment from wholesale suppliers upon mutual agreement. In this type of business, as, indeed, in another, the decisive role belongs to the organization of sales of finished products. Without marketing, all the effort spent will be in vain.

Medium-cost

The initial capital is 10,000-50,000 rubles. Part of the capital will be used to equip the garage with a reliable power supply system; cosmetic repairs, including insulation of the premises. The rest is equipment, raw materials, transportation costs, advertising.

This type includes:

Locksmith workshop

Of the equipment, depending on the manufactured products, you will need:

• locksmith vice;
• Workbench;
• welding machine (electric and / or gas) with personal protective equipment and overalls;
• a set of locksmith tools (hammer, sledgehammer, metal scissors, etc.);
• electric drill or hammer drill, grinder;

Workshop for the manufacture of objects from clay or plaster

Would need:

• Potter's wheel;
• a small kiln for roasting, at the first stage - later you can purchase a more powerful unit;
• water supply and sewerage system;
• work table (workbench);
• molds for plaster castings;
• a set of art paints and brushes;

Own weaving atelier

From the equipment you need:

• stable wide working table;
• any of the sewing machines (there are many models that perform various operations), necessary to solve your ideas;
• a set of fabrics, threads and various weaving accessories.

High cost activity

This business group will require from a novice entrepreneur an amount of 50,000 rubles or more at the initial stage:

Turning workshop

Would need:

1. Reinforce the base for the installation of equipment.
2. Install the power supply system, up to the wiring of the 380 volt cable network.
3. Supply water making a sewer drain system.
4. Purchase, as required, turning, drilling, milling, etc. equipment.
5. Have a stock of metal blanks, semi-finished products.
6. A set of turning, drilling, milling and other metalworking tools.

To understand and calculate the possible risks before starting an activity, it is necessary to accept an indisputable fact - any type of business is highly dependent on the sale of the services offered or manufactured products. Therefore, before starting the organization of labor activity in the garage, it is necessary to study the market for the saturation of the planned services or products.

1. Optimal type of work- acceptance of orders for an order, preferably, if not with full, then partial prepayment. The money received, first of all, should be directed to the purchase of raw materials, materials for the execution of the application.
2. Be sure to submit your work on time or ahead of schedule- this will increase customer confidence in you.
3. Organize, if necessary, your own outlet ( in the market, in the store). Build your business on a family basis, but immediately establish a tough relationship: "home - home, work - work", that is, labor, not family relationships are built at work.
4. If your garage is located away from residential areas, in the depths of the garage cooperative, then the direction of business must be chosen taking into account these facts (there is no cross-country ability).
5. Use advertising opportunities. At first, posting ads (take into account local laws), organizing the promotion of your services and products on social networks, private ads in local newspapers.
6. Explore the possibility of sharing a garage, albeit with a surcharge, to a place located near the transport highway. Example: a garage directly facing the street with the gate can be successfully used for a car wash, tire fitting or car repair shop. And other directions will quickly develop in such a place.
7. In the long term, it is advisable to immediately think about expanding your production area. As the business grows, new areas will be needed. Therefore, the buyout or long-term lease of neighbors' garages should be considered for future development.
8. Inspect your garage for the strength of load-bearing walls and floors- it may be possible to organize a superstructure.

Registration with tax authorities, pension fund

Sooner or later, but better immediately after setting up a business, it is necessary to register with the local fiscal authorities. Now, in most cities, the registration procedure has been greatly simplified - there is a “one window” system. It is enough to submit an application, where you need to fill in the appropriate fields, pay the state fee, and in a few days you become a full-fledged entrepreneur.

Whether or not to open a current bank account depends on you and your type of business, as well as on the local laws in force.

Most of the economic activity falls under the simplified taxation system or under the payment of tax on the area. These types are determined by the place of registration.

Business plan for your production in the garage

Taking a pen or pencil, armed with a calculator, you need to set out your ideas about business on paper, backing them up with calculations. This is how your small business plan will be drawn up.

By the way, this experience may come in handy in the future: when the business expands, additional financial investments may be required. When applying for a bank loan for the development of production, a business plan is one of the necessary documents.

What needs to be reflected in the plans:

1. Market situation analysis, competitiveness in the offered products or services.
2. Reflect sales paths(how, to whom, under what conditions).
3. Garage conversion costs(repair, supply of electricity, water, sewerage).
4. Required equipment, tooling, acquisition paths, and total cost.
5. Monthly demand for raw materials, the approximate cost of buying it.
6. Wages hired employees.
7. Expenses that need to be allocated for the maintenance of your family.
8. Overheads: advertising, transport, etc.
9. Organizational expenses(registration).

It is very important not to miss the negative factors that can significantly affect the profitability, if not the unprofitableness of your business:

1. Remote garage location from your own place of residence.
2. Inconvenient location for certain activities(retail outlet, canteen, tire fitting).
3. Lack of a centralized power supply system, water, sewerage.
4. Inconvenient access roads(bad or confusing road) - affects customers.

Having carried out such an analysis, it will be seen how much initial costs will be needed, what approximate volume of production per month must be sold in order to generate a profit in the final balance.

It is difficult to give specific figures - any type of activity requires its own certain investments. In addition, regional costs will also differ, for example, setting up a business in the northern region or in the southern regions.
