♦ Capital investments – 425,000 rubles.
♦ Payback – 7–10 months.

Real businessmen can do business out of anything, even out of thin air.

If you dream of joining the ranks of entrepreneurs, but you can’t decide what kind of activity to do, think about what people always and everywhere need?

These are food and, of course, water.

business on the water- easy to start, does not require large capital investments and quickly pays off.

The specifics of business on the water

In an unstable economic situation, it is quite difficult to find a business that would bring good money no matter what.

Selling business drinking water just refers to such types of entrepreneurial activity.

Today, companies supplying bottled water are experiencing a kind of boom, and experts predict that this trend will continue in the near future.

If you decide to join those who do business on the water, it will not be superfluous to learn about the features of this business sector:

1. The business, based on the production, bottling and delivery of drinking water, is recognized as one of the fastest growing.
   In the last year alone, its share in Russia has increased by more than 40%.
2. On average, one office employee consumes half a liter of water per day and about 10 liters per year.
   Just imagine how much money you can make if you develop a wide customer base.
3. The prices for drinking water and gasoline are not too different, but it is much easier to set up a water bottling company than an oil refinery.

Two business options on the water

If you want to do business on the water, you must decide what exactly your company will do, because there are two options for this type of entrepreneurial activity:

1. A plant that extracts water from a well, pours it into glass or plastic containers and delivers it to end customers.
2. Company for bottling and selling "foreign" water.

The first option is more expensive in terms of money and requires a lot of time to start, because you will need special equipment, qualified personnel, machinery, factory premises, the need to pay for expensive laboratory tests, and also special permits for extracting water from sources.

In addition, today it is quite difficult to find a free source of mineral or table water, which would not already be occupied by more efficient competitors.

If you do not have too much money, then it is better to start selling drinking water by concluding an appropriate agreement with the manufacturer.

This business is within the power of even businessmen who do not have a large sum for start-up capital.

What should be the water to do business on it?

It doesn't take much effort to do something, much more is required to decide WHAT to do.
Elbert Hubbard

The business of selling bottled water is not as simple as it might seem at first glance.

Only water that complies with state standards is considered bottled, it is packed in hygienic containers and can be used by a person for drinking or cooking.

You can't just get tap water, bottle it up, and start delivering it to offices.

Wanting to save money, you will simply lose customers and destroy your business in the bud.

Drinking water should not contain more than 1% of various artificial additives (for example, flavors or essences).

If one of your clients conducts a chemical analysis of the drinking water supplied by you and finds out that it does not comply with GOST, then the least that can happen to you is the loss of a client, although everything can end up much worse, for example, by opening against you a criminal case on the fact of fraud.

The sale of drinking water cannot be carried out until you conclude an agreement with the manufacturer (a company that extracts water from wells) or purchase equipment that can completely purify water from harmful additives.

The first option is easier and cheaper for beginner businessmen.

Business on the water: advertising and customer search

The water selling business, like any other, needs good advertising, because the number of your customers depends on it, and, accordingly, the amount of profit.

1. In mass media.
2. With help outdoor advertising in high traffic areas.
3. Distribution of flyers and business cards.
4. AT social networks and on the Internet forum of your city.

Since the main customers of drinking water companies are offices, a good publicity stunt there will be a tour of the office premises of your city with a proposal to conclude an agreement with you for the supply of bottled water.

If you manage to get a few large customers who are satisfied with the quality of the water you supply, then word of mouth will advertise your water business in the future.

Calendar plan for starting a business on the water

It doesn't take long for you to start selling bottled drinking water.

Of course, you have to carry out the traditional stages of opening a business (registration, search for premises, purchase of equipment, hiring staff, advertising campaign etc.), but all this will not take more than 3-4 months with the right approach.

Stage	Jan	Feb	Mar	Apr
Registration
Contract with the manufacturer
Warehouse rent
Purchase of equipment and transport
Hiring
Advertising
Starting a business

Registration

You will not be able to conclude a formal contract with a drinking water producer until you legally register your business.

You can choose one of two forms (IP or LLC).

Both forms have both advantages and disadvantages.

The most acceptable form of taxation is UTII.

In addition, you will have to officially employ your employees (you will not be able to do business on the water on your own) and register a cash register.

room

Companies that deliver bottled water do not need luxurious offices, since you will communicate with customers mainly by phone, but what you definitely need to worry about is a warehouse with an area of ​​​​at least 60 square meters.

It must be heated (the air temperature should not fall below +5 degrees) and air-conditioned (if the water is stored at a temperature higher than +20 degrees, then you risk dissatisfying customers by supplying them with warm water).

The location of your warehouse does not play a big role, the main thing is that it is not too far from your customers, otherwise you will incur high gas costs.

Its size depends on how many liters of water you are going to store in the warehouse and what volumes of supplies you are targeting.

You can negotiate with customers and accept applications directly from warehouse by purchasing a minimum set of furniture and a telephone set.

Equipment

In fact, the only thing you will have to spend a large amount on is the transport with which you will deliver drinking water.

If you are just starting to promote your business on the water, then it is quite enough to purchase one used "gazelle" for 300,000 rubles.

There is no need to equip a warehouse - bottles of water can be stored directly on the floor.

In addition to transport costs, there are some other equipment costs to expect:

Item of expenses	Qty	Cost (in rubles)	Total amount (in rubles)
Total:			100 000 rub.
Cash register	1	20 000	20
Telephone set	1	1 5000	1 5000
Mobile phone	1	5 000	5 000
Table	1	4 000	4 000
Chairs	3	2 000	6 000
Empty 20 l bottles	300	200	60 000
other			3 500

Staff

Many entrepreneurs, wanting to save money, want to do business on the water on their own (without assistants) or with only one assistant.

This is the wrong move.

Even at the initial stage, you should hire at least two team members: a driver and a forwarder.

You yourself will be able to take on administrative duties, taking orders, communicating with customers, bookkeeping.

In this case, the monthly cost of staff salaries will be as follows:

If your business starts to expand and you find that your employees cannot keep up with such a volume of orders for the delivery of drinking water, then you will have to purchase another car and hire another team consisting of a forwarder and a driver.

How much does it cost to open a business on the water?

The water selling business is not one of those start-ups that require a huge amount of money to start.

In fact, the biggest expense you have to incur is the purchase of a "gazelle" to deliver bottled water to homes and offices.

If you have such a car, then it is quite realistic to start doing business on the water, having only 100–125,000 rubles. starting capital.

If you don’t have a suitable car, then the amount of capital investment increases by another 300,000 rubles.

Do not forget about the mandatory monthly expenses that entrepreneurs who decide to do business on the water expect.

Their amount will fluctuate at the level of 60,000 rubles:

How promising is the water business and how much can you earn on it,

see also in the video:

How much can you earn doing business on the water?

Experts estimate the profitability of the drinking water business at 15–25%. The purchase price of 1 liter of water is 2 rubles, but the selling price is 6-8 rubles.

That is, you buy a 20-liter bottle from the manufacturer for 40 rubles, and sell (let's take the average figures) for 140 rubles.

Let's say that you deliver 50 bottles a day and earn 7,000 rubles.

Your bottled water company operates with one day off a week, which means that in a month (given that you will have an average of 25 working days) you will earn 175,000 rubles.

Naturally, this is a "dirty" profit, because from this amount we need to subtract 50,000 rubles (the purchase price of water) and 60,000 rubles - the amount of expenses for servicing your business.

That is, you are left with a net profit of 65,000 rubles.

The amount of our capital investment (including the purchase of a car) was 425,000 rubles.

Earning 65,000 rubles a month, we can make our water business self-sustaining in 7-8 months if we do not spend too much time building a client base.

As you can see business on the water- a fairly cost-effective business that does not require any special knowledge, or the purchase of sophisticated equipment, or large investments.

1. PROJECT SUMMARY

The purpose of the project is to create an enterprise for the extraction and bottling of artesian water. The expediency of the project is due to the growing popularity of this product both for use in offices and for home use.

Location of production - x. Pukhlyakovsky, Rostov region. Sales region - Rostov-on-Don and Rostov region. Price segment - "Standard +". The production premises are supposed to be leased, delivery is carried out by our own transport. Distribution is carried out through a partner network of stores. The trademark "VodoPukh" and the trademark are registered.

The project is attractive for investment, which is confirmed by financial calculations and the resulting integral performance indicators (Table 1).

Table 1. Integral project performance indicators

2. COMPANY AND INDUSTRY DESCRIPTION

The company carries out activities for the extraction and bottling of artesian water in 19-liter bottles. The main consumers of this product are organizations of any field of activity and any size; The use of bottled water for the needs of households in our country is not well developed, but it is gaining more and more popularity. Today, according to various sources, in Russia the consumption of bottled water per person is about 40 liters per month; in Europe, this figure is in the range of 100-150 liters. Thus, we can speak with full confidence about the significant growth potential of the industry. It should also be taken into account that Russia and, in particular, the Rostov region, have large reserves of fresh water, which has a positive effect on the cost of the final product.

According to Rosstat, more than 5,000 small and medium-sized businesses operate in the Rostov region. If we take the average number of the enterprise in 20 people, this will be 100,000 potential consumers. Based on the monthly water consumption of 40 liters per month, of which about 75% of the person consumes at the workplace, the total need for water supply for organizations is 100,000 * 40 * 0.75 = 3,000,000 liters per month. The number of households and their water consumption is extremely difficult to estimate, but we can say that it is not less than the water consumption of organizations.

The competitive environment in the region is represented by three the largest suppliers, two of which both produce and distribute through the network own stores(1 and 3 own brands, respectively), and one is a distributor-aggregator that imports water from other regions into the region (7 brands in various price segments); in addition, there are about 10 regional manufacturers in the region that produce products of the budget segment and carry out distribution through the village grocery stores, as a rule, they are not present in large cities of the region.

The technological process includes the lifting of water from a pre-drilled well, its purification, softening and disinfection, and subsequent bottling. After that, water is delivered to the points of sale by own transport. The sale is carried out through a network of partner stores. The competitiveness of the enterprise is ensured by High Quality purification and organoleptic properties of water provided by high-quality water treatment.

3. DESCRIPTION OF GOODS

The enterprise extracts water from an artesian well located in the Pukhlyakovsky farm in the Rostov region. The water of this region is characterized by high softness, as well as low acidity and the content of metal impurities. By processing on special equipment, water is filtered, disinfected, and its organoleptic properties are increased.

The quality of bottled drinking water is regulated by SanPiN 2.1.4.1116-02. According to this regulation, all drinking water is divided into two categories: 1st category and the highest category. "VodoPukh" belongs to the highest category, which will increase the profitability of the enterprise due to more high price sales, and, accordingly, increase the marginal income of the enterprise.

The quality and characteristics of VodoPuKh water are confirmed by independent laboratories in Rostov-on-Don. The main characteristics of water are given in Table. 2 in comparison with the requirements of SanPiN 2.1.4.1116-02.

Table 2. Comparative description of the main properties of water "VodoPukh"

In terms of the harmlessness of the chemical composition, organic, radiation and bacteriological contamination, as well as other parameters specified in the standard, VodoPukh fully complies with the requirements, significantly exceeding them in most parameters.

The water is bottled in 19 liter PET bottles with a handle. PET is being used as an alternative to the more common polycarbonate bottles, which, despite being more rigid and have a longer turnaround time, contain BPA, which negatively affects the taste of the water. The turnover of bottles, according to TO 2297-01-96201068-2008, is 50-60 cycles; in practice, the service life is 1.5-2 years. After that, the container must be disposed of.

The bottles are labeled with the corporate logo "VodoPukh", information about the manufacturer, water parameters and contact information partner stores.

4. SALES AND MARKETING

Water "VodoPukh" is sold through a network of retail outlets specializing directly in drinking water. At the time of the start of the project, the chain's assortment includes three trademarks of the "Standard" and "Premium" segments. "VodoPukh" occupies an intermediate niche, which significantly increases the competitiveness of the brand.

A cooperation agreement was signed with the network. Marketing and brand promotion is carried out trading network; All brand names in the range are advertised in equally. Financing of promotional events is shared, 20% is paid by the manufacturer "VodoPukh", 30% - by the manufacturer of other brands of the range, 50% - by the distributor. This distribution of shares (20/30) generally corresponds to the share of brands in total sales. The media plan is given in Table. 3.

Since the demand for drinking water has a pronounced seasonal nature, the advertising campaign is planned taking into account its changes.

The sale of water by the trading network is carried out both through outlets self-delivery, and with home delivery by prior order. An order can be placed both by phone and through the network's website.

Ready-made ideas for your business

As of January 2016, the share of the network in the total sales of bottled (19 l bottles) water is 15%. Due to the expansion of the range of water "VodoPukh" it is expected to increase the share to 20%.

5. PRODUCTION PLAN

The first stage of the project implementation is the drilling of a well in the territory adjacent to the x. Pukhlyakovsky, Rostov region. Water is extracted from the second aquifer; its depth is 120-150 m. The expected flow rate of the well is 90 m 3 /day. Exploration and drilling are carried out by a specialized company. The cost of work is given in Table. 4.

• Recruitment

The mineral water business has always been considered highly profitable. An endless resource base, combined with a wide selection of water bottling equipment (both domestic and foreign) make this business very attractive to investors. However, due to the saturation of the market for such products, starting a business for new players is becoming more and more difficult. The issue of sales in this case is always in the first place.

Mineral water bottling business

From year to year, new companies and mini-productions appear on the market for the production of drinking water. So how profitable is the mineral water business? We invite you to familiarize yourself with the feasibility study (business plan) for the production of mineral water at a mini-enterprise with a capacity of 12 thousand liters. water per shift.

Mineral water production technology

To begin with, we will briefly present the technological chain of mineral water production:

1. Accumulation of water in receiving tanks. Mineral water from wells (300-400m) is lifted by a deep pump and fed through pipelines to storage tanks.
2. Filtration. Water filtration is carried out on a filter block filled with sand and filter material.
3. Disinfection. Disinfection of water is carried out by ultraviolet rays in the UV installation.
4. Cooling. Water cooling takes place on a plate heat exchanger.
5. Saturation with carbon dioxide.
6. Blowing PET bottles (1.5l) on a special blow molding machine.
7. Bottling and supply of finished water to the warehouse. Mineral water is poured into 1.5l PET bottles, sealed with corks, labels marked on the printer are pasted on the bottles. The bottles are packed in shrink films in 6 pieces, stacked on pallets and wrapped with a stretch film on a politizer. Then the finished product is sent to the warehouse.

How to start a mineral production business

Let's calculate the main indicators economic efficiency mini-enterprises for the production of mineral water.

Initial data:

• Production area: 400m2
• Type of ownership: rent (120 thousand rubles/month);
• Number of shifts: 1 shift (8 hours);
• Line productivity per shift: 12,000 liters (8,000 bottles of 1.5 liters each);
• Number of working days in a month: 22 days.
• Capital cost of bottling equipment

What equipment to choose for the production of mineral water

Capital costs for the purchase of equipment for the production of mineral water will amount to 1,100,000 rubles.

Recruitment

Monthly payment costs wages employees will amount to 1,272,000 rubles.

How much money is needed to produce mineral water

The cost of production of one liter of mineral water is 8.94 rubles. The total expenses per month will amount to 2,363,600 rubles.

How much can you earn in the production of mineral water

Let's calculate the main indicators of economic efficiency of mineral water production, including the payback period of equipment.

Conclusion: The net profit of the enterprise for the production of mineral water will amount to 686.7 thousand rubles per month. The profitability of production with such indicators is 29%, and the payback period for equipment (not business) is only 1.5 months. It is worth considering that such indicators are possible only if 100% of the sale of all manufactured products, which is 264,000 liters of mineral water per month.

Today it is possible to organize a business in almost any type of activity. It is not necessary to immediately open a large production. You can start with a small workshop. For example, the production of drinking water is not an extremely difficult task, although it requires patience, care and work.

Advantages and features

I must say that this business has its advantages:

High payback;

Possibility of expansion;

High demand for quality products.

Naturally, the production of drinking water is not without drawbacks. For example, you will have to raise an impressive amount of start-up capital, since you cannot do without expensive equipment. In addition, you will need to constantly deal with the sanitary and epidemiological service, which controls the quality of the water. However, a properly organized business can bring high income. Naturally, for this you first need to outline a business plan, decide on the sales market and other nuances. It is important to consider the level of competition.

Be sure to decide what type of activity you will be engaged in. That is, you can sell water from your well that needs to be drilled; engage in bottling and supply of foreign water to the markets of the city. At the same time, you must also decide on the method of extracting water. It can be key or extracted from the tap and cleaned with ultra-modern filters.

What documents are needed?

Now consider the question of what, in fact, is needed in order to open the production of drinking water:

1. Certificate of a private entrepreneur.

2. Charter of the company.

3. Conclusions of security authorities (fire service and SES) on the compliance of your equipment with all established standards.

4. Certificate that the quality of the water used in production fully satisfies all government requirements(also issued by the sanitary and epidemiological service).

5. License to entrepreneurial activity. To do this, you, of course, will have to collect documents such as a lease agreement for premises and equipment, all your personal data certified by a notary.

In principle, these documents are quite enough to open the production of drinking water. Naturally, you will need a bank account. In addition, it is required to draw up agreements with suppliers of water (if you do not extract it yourself), containers and other consumables.

Features of the choice of premises and staff

Opening the production of drinking water is not very difficult. Much harder to keep him afloat. For work, you will definitely need a room (workshop) that is of sufficient size, all-round access. Naturally, the building must have a supply of all necessary energy sources, telephone line, internet.

It is desirable that the room was renovated and not old. Pay special attention to the quality of electrical wiring. The fact is that the production of bottled water requires the use of a large amount of equipment.

The building will need to be divided into several parts: a site where water will be extracted, a liquid purification room (multi-stage), as well as its spill. In addition, you will need rooms for staff, where employees can change clothes, have lunch, and relax. For finished products warehouse is needed. Naturally, each room must meet sanitary standards.

What equipment is needed for work?

The production of bottled water takes place with the help of complex and rather expensive mechanisms. Their number depends on your financial capabilities and the scale of the business.

So, for work, the following equipment is required for the production of water:

Mechanisms by which the extracted liquid is purified;

Machines for pouring water.

If you want to reduce the cost of production, you can purchase a machine for the manufacture of plastic containers, in which you will package the liquid. However, this is not at all necessary. You can conclude an agreement with suppliers of plastic bottles. Moreover, in any case, you have the ability to adjust the amount of packaging.

Today, you can buy a whole automated production line for the drinking water bottling shop, which consists of all the necessary blocks. However, such equipment should be purchased if you see prospects for further business expansion.

What quality should the product have?

Water is an essential element for the body, just like air. Naturally, it must meet the highest quality requirements and international standards. Before organizing the production of drinking bottled water, it should be borne in mind that it must be harmless and safe in chemical composition. In addition, the liquid should not have an increased background radiation or contain harmful bacteria and microorganisms that can cause various kinds of epidemics.

Consider the criteria for water quality in more detail. So, the liquid should not contain dangerous and harmful substances that may appear as a result of its extraction and processing. Also note that not all water sources are safe to drink. That is, a well should be drilled where there are deposits of the maximum clean liquid.

Water must be taken for analysis by the sanitary and epidemiological service. After that you will receive a response from detailed description substances and compounds contained in the liquid, as well as their quantity. It should be noted that the source should not be contaminated with any mechanical debris. Be sure to make sure that there are no living organisms in the water. Otherwise, your products will quickly deteriorate and can harm your health.

Manufacturing technology

In order for you to get a finished product, you need to go through several stages. The production of drinking bottled water begins with the receipt of raw materials.

To store it, you will need large tanks made from environmentally friendly materials. After that, the liquid must undergo multi-stage purification:

Mechanical. Moreover, it is carried out in 2 stages: coarse (impurities of 450 microns in size are eliminated) and fine, due to which the smallest particles of debris are removed from the water.

Chemical. Produced using the latest technologies and materials. Combined methods are used here: chlorination (the most common), ultraviolet or ozone treatment.

Now the prepared water can be poured into containers. This happens on an automated line that does not require human intervention. Additionally, you can enrich your products with oxygen.

Drinking water production: source for drinking water production + what documents are needed for opening + production stages + necessary equipment for the production of drinking water + personnel + advertising of the water production plant + how to sell the product + cost item and profitability.

Unfortunately, water from taps or wells is not the most environmentally friendly product. Unfiltered drinking liquid may have a cloudy or even yellow color, an unpleasant amount of dampness, and the like. Due to old water pipes, microbes can settle in the water, which later become the causes of many diseases.

To save themselves from trouble, many people buy purified bottled water.

As the saying goes, demand creates supply, so drinking water production can be your gold mine.

And the first thing to do before looking for equipment for the production of drinking water is to decide from which source you will extract it.

What are the sources for the extraction of water:

1. Own well.
2. Spring water in large volume.
3. City water supply.

After you choose the appropriate option, you need to get approval from the SES and complete other documentation. It is worth talking about this stage in more detail.

Preparation of documentation

From SES, you should expect special attention to such a business. If there are even the slightest violations, your enterprise will not start its work. Therefore, as soon as the issue with the choice of source is resolved, it is necessary to take the water sample to the laboratory.

This is a mandatory step that will show how difficult the cleaning will be before sending the product to the buyer. It is best to take samples from several sources, and then choose the best option for you.

As soon as a positive result comes from the laboratory, you can start preparing other documents:

First of all, we are preparing an appeal to the Federal Tax Service to open a business.

The easiest way to open an individual entrepreneur is by choosing the type of taxation of the simplified tax system. Do not forget about the type of activity according to OKVED-2 - 11.07 " Production of soft drinks».

We are looking for a place where the production of drinking water will take place.

You need to rent or buy it. To operate a business legally, you must have a lease agreement or proof of ownership.

What should be the room where the water production equipment will be located? You will need an area of ​​at least 50 m2. Pumps and filters take up a lot of space. The temperature in the room should be within 5-20°C above zero.

If you want to sell water directly from your small plant, then it is better to look for premises somewhere in the city, closer to people, otherwise there will be too many logistics costs.

If you decide to dig a well, then you need to look for a company that is engaged in drilling and conclude an agreement with it.


And in the event that you want to connect to a local water utility, you must sign an agreement on the creation of a separate water supply line, which will be intended for sale on the drinking water market.

You will have to beat the thresholds of the local city hall building for more than one day - be prepared for this.

They must check the premises and equipment for the production of drinking water.

You will have to meet with the sanitary and epidemiological service more than once.

They will check the water not only before purification, but also after passing through the filters. If everything is fine, then you will receive a quality certificate.

It is important to indicate its presence on the bottle in which water will be sold.

Be prepared to be checked at any time, so you should never deviate from the norm and risk people's health, as well as your business.

These are the main documents that you need to get before starting work.

At this stage, you can not do without financial costs for their design:

Drinking water production technology for sale

Before the water reaches the consumer, it must be completely purified using special equipment.

Stages of water production and its purification using special equipment:

1. Drilling a well or connecting to the city's water supply system.
2. Then the water comes through the filter, where large elements that pollute the water are filtered out (coarse filter).
3. Fine cleaning involves the removal of small impurities.
4. The next step is production quality control. Workers should measure the presence of minerals or harmful impurities in the water.
5. The product must be disinfected with special ultraviolet radiation (appropriate equipment is purchased for this).
6. The ozonation stage is needed in order to saturate the water with minerals and protect it from the rapid loss of beneficial additives. There is no need to chlorinate the water.
7. The last stage is another check of the water and bottling it with the help of special equipment. It should also stick labels, and most importantly, disinfect containers.

Water must match general requirements GOST Russian Federation(You can find out more at this link - https://docs.cntd.ru/document/gost-r-51232-98). If during the check you find violations, then be prepared to pay a fine and even lose your business.

Equipment for the production of drinking water

One of the most expensive stages is the purchase of equipment. Ready, as well as bottling in containers is expensive. Of course, you can try to buy everything separately - pumps, bottling lines, filters, etc., but in the end, most likely, you won't win anything.

You need to buy only high-quality equipment with a guarantee, because SES will check it before launch. If the service does not approve your purchase, then you will not start water production.

2. Draw up an agreement with the delivery service, which will independently deal with all issues related to the delivery of products.
3. Sell ​​water in the premises where it is produced. The most economical option, but it may not be profitable, because the client must look for a car to deliver water from the plant to his home.

• 1 liter of water will cost you about 3-4 rubles.
• You will sell it at a price of 10 rubles.
• For 40 liters standard order - 2 bottles of 20 liters) you will earn from 240 rubles.
