1. How to start a garage business - how to prepare and what you need to organize a garage business

If you want to do your business, many entrepreneurs are faced with the problem of the availability of premises. The possibility of renting space scares off newcomers, as it is associated with significant financial costs and, as a rule, complicates the development of a business.

Under these conditions, many enterprising people pay attention to their own garage, which, when used properly, can turn into an asset that will bring high income in the future.

Important! The main thing when organizing a business in the garage is to choose an idea that will allow you to convert your own efforts into profit in these conditions.

Assessing the prospects of ideas for a small business in the garage, you should pay attention to its location.

Finding an object in close proximity to residential areas opens up significant opportunities for organizing your business: from car repair services to outlets.

Inconvenient location a bit limits range of potential options. In this case, you should focus on the target audience or think over the organization of activities in such a way that potential customers are not uncomfortable with the non-optimal location of the garage.

After deciding to use your own garage for organizing a business, you should properly prepare it:

• Insulate the room;
• To conduct communications (sewerage, light, water);
• Make interior and exterior decoration;

To carry out repairs, it is necessary to purchase all the required building materials and use the appropriate tool.

It is necessary to install meters for water, electricity and bring the room in accordance with sanitary and fire safety standards.

The level of funds invested in repairs should be determined by the functional use of the garage.

When organizing a warehouse simple finishing will be enough: insulation, painting, manufacturing and installation of shelving.

When organizing a point of sale or the provision of any services to the population, both the necessary arrangement of the premises and special equipment are necessary.

The only activity that impractical engage in car boxing is food production, since it is not possible to create the right conditions in terms of sanitary and epidemiological standards in automobile boxing.

Important! An entrepreneur who decides to arrange production in this garage with this category of goods runs the risk of receiving huge fines and a ban on doing business.

It is also important to know that running a mini-business in a garage without all the necessary documents is illegal business and is punishable by law.

At the initial stage, when the circle of clients includes friends, relatives and acquaintances, you can not register your activities, but after a few months you should arrange your business properly.

We wrote about how to register our activities in the articles “How to open an IP” and “How to open an LLC yourself”, in two articles we described step-by-step instructions for beginners on how and how to register their entrepreneurial activity.

2. Ideas for garage business - 16 proven garage business ideas

So, we will consider creative and original business ideas for a garage that can be implemented in Russia.

1) Renting a garage

The easiest solution for making money is to use a garage for rental. In recent decades, there has been a tendency to increase the number of cars in cities. At the same time, paying for parking lots is not affordable for most car owners.

If a potential landlord has an empty garage, then finding a tenant and making money is the right decision.

It should determine the scope of the garage by potential customers:

• for parking and storage of the car, spare parts and accessories for it;
• use as a warehouse for tools;
• for storage of equipment, household appliances and electronics;
• for recreation and entertainment (under appropriate conditions).

Garage rental rent in Russia varies from 2,000 to 4,000 rubles per month and depends on some factors:

• region
• location;
• state of car boxing;
• garage size;
• the availability of communications.

This business idea is optimal for people who want to earn income without making significant efforts - that is, receive passive income from renting their garage.

2) Trade in the garage

The garage can be used as a shopping facility. This decision does not contradict the law, since the garage box can be attributed to the objects of stationary trade.

It will be especially correct to use it as such if the location involves a large flow of people passing by.

To organize trade in the garage you need:

• to insulate it;
• determine the direction and range of products;
• equip the premises with the necessary equipment and goods;
• conduct an advertising campaign.

What can I trade with?

If the box is located in a large garage complex, then a good solution would be to sell popular car parts, related supplies, car cosmetics etc.

Before this, you should analyze, talking with potential customers, what product they most often need, and trade the most popular of them.

3) Seasonal storage of skis, tires, sledges, bicycles and other equipment

Most people are faced with the problem of storing a wide variety of things that they use only during certain periods of the year. The rest of the time they need to be stored somewhere.

Basically, multi-storey buildings are built without storage rooms and the issue of storing sledges, skis, bicycles and car tires, as well as many other goods, is relevant for many residents of cities. And if there is demand, then every entrepreneurial garage owner can make money on the provision of appropriate services.

To organize this service, you must:

• large garage;
• maximally free the room from all unnecessary things;
• equip the garage with racks for tires, as well as equip places for storing other goods;
• install a security system;
• to come and provide access to the goods at the first request of the client.

You can agree with the client on different terms of payment for services: one-time, monthly, quarterly payment.

Investments in the implementation of this idea of ​​the garage business are insignificant and profit can be obtained after cooperation with the first client.

4) Auto repair shop in the garage

A good and relevant idea when using a garage for doing business is car repair. Whatever happens in people's daily lives, but the number of cars increases, they break down and end up in accidents. Demand for quality repair work is always at a high level.

It is important to follow all of the recommendations and tips for repairing a car in a garage, as not observing at least one of them can lead to additional costs.

5) Tire service

Organization of a tire fitting service is advisable when the garage is located near a gas station or roadway.

A car box must meet certain characteristics:

• The cost of quality services and supplies is significant and therefore this service will be profitable only in large cities.
• You should find a reliable supplier who can provide the required parts.
• Wholesale purchase of materials is impractical, since the details are selected individually for the car.
• The target audience for tuning is not too big - for a decent income requires significant commercial efforts and the provision of quality services.

To achieve success in this type of business, it will be necessary to spend money on promotion and advertising (including advertising on the Internet).

• Dirty water with small elements will go into the sewer connected to the drain.

With this approach, the floor in the garage will not become damp, and the sewage system will not become clogged. Electrical safety measures should also be taken during operations with water. To do this, it is necessary to use a transformer in the room, which reduces the voltage during the relevant work (procedures).

Ideas for the production of furniture in a garage - the production of frame and frameless furniture, furniture hauling and so on

Direction of business in the garage №2 - Furniture

A profitable area of ​​activity in the garage is the production of furniture. The competition in the furniture business is big, but if you choose a promising direction, analyze demand, introduce modern design solutions, but the undertaking can be very successful.

15) Cabinet furniture

First of all, an entrepreneur who wants to produce and sell cabinet furniture should concentrate on orders based on individual customer parameters.

Large manufacturers, in addition to selling finished products, also sell to small entrepreneurs the necessary components of furniture construction, as well as all the necessary accessories.

It is only required to choose the right material, purchase fasteners and assemble the required headset.

To organize production, you need to purchase a tool:

• a screwdriver and a set of different bits for it;
• set of hexagons;
• drills of various diameters;
• Screwdriver Set;
• roulette;
• hair dryer and iron;
• sandpaper, pencil and square;
• hammer drill;
• jigsaw and manual fraser;
• mallet;
• stationery knife.

The best choice for the garage is production (assembly) of the following types of furniture:

• wardrobes;
• kitchen sets;
• beds;
• the walls.

16) Frameless furniture

Frameless furniture is produced since the 60s of the twentieth century, but it has gained popularity in Russia only recently. They are in special demand armchairs, sofas and ottomans.

This type is characterized by the absence of a frame base in furniture, which consists of a shell and filler.

As the outer coating are most often used fur, leather and various fabricsand internal - polystyrene foam.

Organization of production requires minimal initial investment for the purchase of consumables and a sewing machine.

The process of manufacturing frameless furniture includes a number of procedures:

1. Material selection for two covers. The outer cover, as a rule, is made of a more expensive and beautiful material with sufficient wear resistance. If contaminated, it can be removed and washed or cleaned. For the inner cover, a durable air-permeable fabric is used to restore the original shape of the chair or sofa. When using fabrics that do not allow air to pass through, holes must be provided in the product for circulation.
2. Blank preparation. Using the pattern, the image of the components of the cover (main parts, bottom and top) is transferred to paper to avoid unnecessary waste, and blanks are cut out.
3. Sewing the inner case. The main parts of the inner cover are sewn together, previously one of the sides is supplied with a zipper of about 40 cm to ensure internal filling.
4. Styrofoam filling. After this procedure, you must fasten the zipper.
5. Sewing the outer case. The procedure is similar to that for the inner cover, only for ease of removal when cleaning or washing the length of the zipper should be about 1 meter.
6. Connection of the outer with a filled inner cover.

The advantages of the frameless furniture business include:

• This type of furniture is not difficult to manufacture;
• Low cost allows the entrepreneur to start production without significant initial investment;
• The possibility of creativity in the manufacture and development of new models;
• There is no seasonality of demand, which allows you to sell goods all year round;
• Fast return on business;
• Great demand among young people and socially active population;
• Convenience at operation.

17) Upholstering of upholstered furniture

Buying new furniture requires significant financial investments from people and most of them prefer to restore their old furniture for much less money.

As a rule, the frame of products remains intact for a very long time and it is impossible to distinguish the upholstery and a sofa with an armchair from a new one.

The cost of these services is about 30% from the cost of new products, which provides significant demand among the population for this type of activity.

In addition, many people pay increased attention to the design of their own premises, and often after repair work, fairly new furniture may not fit into the overall interior. This problem can be solved by replacing the upholstery with a more suitable one.

Necessary equipment and tools:

• sewing machine for the manufacture of elements of upholstered furniture;
• stapler with various sets of brackets;
• screwdriver;
• jigsaw;
• hammer drill;
• standard set of carpentry tools;
• various sheets of ordinary and laminated fiberboard;
• foam rubber of different thicknesses;
• fixing materials;
• a wide selection of fabrics and skin options.

For successful activities in this area of ​​business, it would be advisable to draw up a portfolio of work performed, as well as meet with potential customers in person and show samples of leather and fabrics and possible options for finishing their furniture.

It should be possible to choose upholstery - from budget to luxury samples. In addition, the entrepreneur has the opportunity to earn on the sale of materials for upholstery.

You can see some garage business ideas in the video:

18) Production of furniture covers

Often, consumers, when buying expensive upholstered furniture, want to protect it from pollution and wear, as well as from the effects of pets. Therefore, the acquisition of a removable cover for sofas and chairs is optimal solution for this category of consumers.
