What kind of business can be opened if the budget is minimal?
To begin with, here are a few weighty arguments in favor of running your own business:

You can and should start from scratch. This is real even without influential connections and special education. All that is needed is an idea, a desire to act, absorb new information and adapt to changing market trends;
- the main problem for beginners is the solution of financial issues. However, finding start-up capital is not so difficult now. Especially when the model and format of doing business are chosen correctly;
-Going into entrepreneurs is worth it even without experience. This shortcoming is easily compensated by working in an area that resonates with one's own interests;
-renting an office and hiring employees who need to pay wages is not a prerequisite. You can act directly from home, completely managing on your own at first.
With a minimum budget, you should choose a simple business idea that has already been tried by others. The main thing is that there is a demand for the product. Even if it is a highly competitive niche, you can try to build up a special positioning. In general, it is better to look towards niches with an average level of competition.

At first, it is more reasonable to plan a limited scale, since large projects, as well as non-standard business ideas, most often require considerable cash injections.

In terms of format, there are 2 main options:

- Small retail outlet.
-Online store.
-The idea is selected depending on the chosen format. This may be the production or sale of material goods, the sale of any works or services.
