Here are a few ways to find the money to make the idea to the project,
which already can be shown to third-party investors.
Sergey Novikov, the IT-Director of Pharma companies Egis, quit Smoking
five years ago, but to snuff it is still sometimes pulls. Deciding to
try the electronic cigarette, was disappointed in the production of
Chinese firms: the batteries quickly sat on leaking fluid, etc. Engineer
by education, Sergey decided to understand the operation of an
e-cigarette, and it was a hand and till the next step is to try to do
something similar yourself.
The first prototype was assembled at
the end of 2010 from water supply pipes and couplings, purchased on the
construction market. Looked device homely, but worked. Novikov continued
to improve its design, bought for 80 000 rubles lathe. Interest in
developing showed other lovers of electronic Smoking from the forum on
the specialized site of Ecigtalk.ruall of them were ready to make a
prepayment. Novikov found via the Internet Turner in Ukraine, who is
ready to take up the larger party. Where to get the money for the
extension of production? Give interest to the bankers did not want to.
Novikov persuaded his wife to risk the family budget, «She financier,
had a business plan to protect». In the end, the spouses have agreed to
spend on the business of one of the salaries fully (the more so that,
while his wife was in the decree, are used to save). In total for the
year of the family has invested in a matter of about 1 million rubles.
The
first year of Novikov developed business in parallel with the main
work. 4 in the morning he went to meet the train from Donetsk, which
passed the bag with the finished parts, then drove to the office. As the
business project did not come out of the stable profit, leaving work
was risky.
Hobby gradually developed into business Novikov
registered LLC and hired an assistant. In 2012 opened the Internet-shop
on your own site Svoemesto.ru. For the first four months of the year
2012, he sold more than 500 sets of electronic cigarettes of its own
design for the price of 1800-7300 rubles per set (margin of about 30%).
As soon as there comes a new party, she sells on average for 8 minutes.
According to Novikov, the turnover of the shop had reached the 1 million
rubles. And Yes in the end of spring all the same he resigned from the
Egis.
From the budgetA dozen men - the tender Commission of the Yekaterinburg competition
«Start your business» - very excited when, instead of a boring
presentation of the project started a fashion show. The model showed
dresses-transformers: the vest, turning into a Klatch, jacket, bag,
dress, with eight styles. Creator of the collection of Anna Popova (21
years) just received the diploma of the designer clothes and wanted to
open the business.
It was in November 2009 is a good time to
start. After the crisis left the law, intended to stimulate the
development of small companies. One of the measures - grants for opening
of the business from Federal and regional budgets. Just for this grant
and claimed Popov.
In each region the programme had its own
peculiarities. In the Sverdlovsk region, for example, wishing offered to
take a free three-stage program of teaching the basics of business and
submit to the Commission a business plan for the next six months. The
maximum grant amount was 300 000 rubles
«The Commission had to protect their budgets, " says the designer. -
Some projects notch because of unfounded expenditure.» Anna is clearly
knew the requests: purchase of the fabric, payment of work of
seamstresses, laptop, printer and embroidery machine (at the factory,
where it was planned to sew collection, it was not). The jury of the
competition in that day has allocated the full amount of the grant only
to her. In total in 2009, grants for a total amount of 111 million
rubles received 424 Sverdlovsk businessman.
The money came at the
expense of Popova after a couple of days. In addition to the grant
starting capital yet come and the subsidy for the unemployed, which
shall issue to the opening of the case, - 58 000 rubles. In the summer
of Popova called representatives of the regional administration and
asked to report on expenditures. «I showed all the checks, " says Popov.
"And were the girls who received grants and went to live abroad». And
grant, and a grant issued free of charge.
By the end of the
summer of revenue from the sale of the invented Popova dresses amounted
to about 400 000 rubles, all the earned money yesterday a student has
invested in the purchase of another party tissues, hiring seamstresses,
rented a small office. Usually such business goes to zero for the year.
Popova, due to the money, which is not supposed to return, managed to
get profit much earlier.
Try to get a grant for opening of the
business everyone can. In 2012, the Ministry allocates to support small
and medium business in the regions of 19 billion rubles. These amounts
are used by the regional authorities, they also set priorities, to whom
and on what to give money. In the Sverdlovsk region, for example, grants
to open a case may take advantage of the local people up to 30 years
(in 2011 received support of 75 projects). Applicants need to submit an
application to the regional Fund of support of small business and
competition.
Anna Popova recently moved to Moscow and is going to
develop its brand in the capital. «I have enough money to continue the
business, - says the designer. "But without the grant I hardly could
have something to start.»
