Opening your own business in a village has advantages and disadvantages - the purchasing power of rural residents is much lower than that of urban residents, but the procedure for doing business itself is slightly simplified. It all depends on the wealth of the bulk of the population and the level of consumption.
Instructions
Step 1
Think over the idea of your business - it is necessary that it be almost exclusive, as rural business may not withstand the competition of local entrepreneurs. Among the profitable enterprises, one can note the construction of an apiary, breeding and raising exotic animals (for example, ostriches), little-known fruits and vegetables, etc.
Step 2
Calculate the expenditure side of your business plan - it will include the costs of building or renting production facilities, livestock pens, the necessary communications, the cost of hiring workers, transport, etc. Also include in the cost part the funds that you will pay for opening your business, formalizing its organizational form, and obtaining appropriate permits.
Step 3
Consider distribution channels. If you focus only on village buyers, then your profit will differ markedly from the amount that you can get for your products in the city. The problem of selling products in the village is more acute than in the city, since you are unlikely to be able to trade behind the counter on your own, and dealers will offer deliberately low prices. Often, the sale of food products requires the presence of outlets in the city, which will have the appropriate certificates - you need to look for suitable retailers.
Step 4
Be sure to take into account possible risks in your business plan - lean periods, diseases that can affect animals or plants, additional costs in case of adverse weather anomalies. You should always have a certain part of the money, the so-called force majeure reserve.
Step 5
If you plan to provide services to city dwellers or tourists (open several private houses in a picturesque place), then you need to calculate the advertising costs - you will advertise in newspapers and magazines, on television, on Internet resources, etc.
Step 6
Hire workers - you will have to conduct several interviews with locals. Pay attention to their personal qualities, as well as experience and education in the field of interest.
