Mobile business. Business ideas on wheels and features of their implementation


Business on wheels allows you to refresh the standard ideas. An entrepreneur has the opportunity to stand out from competitors, increase the client base and earn money by gaining access to those locations that are not available to ordinary businesses.

The modern rhythm of life dictates its own conditions for business. To keep up with the client, entrepreneurs are forced to put their business on wheels. Today, a car is not only a means of transportation, but also a way to implement bold commercial ideas. As practice shows, almost any business can be placed in a car. There are many offers on the market: from hairdressers to hotels on wheels. The mobile format gave the effect of novelty to ordinary ideas. Therefore, there are more and more mobile businesses. Another reason that put the business on wheels is savings on retail space. The rent of commercial space is often quite high, and acquiring a property is an expensive pleasure. It is much easier to acquire a roomy used vehicle and look for profitable places around the city.

Features of a business on wheels

The mobile business has a number of advantages that attract start-up entrepreneurs:

    no need to look for a place;

    organize a mobile business cheaper;

    just get permits;

    you can change the place of sale and cover a wide range of consumers;

    in case of failure, you can sell the car and return part of the costs;

    you can quickly change your business idea.

Mobile business ideas target a large number potential clients– i.e. the business will be profitable if you can sell a lot. Therefore, a business can change its location in search of better places to earn money.

Algorithm of actions to open a mobile business:

    analyze the demand for the service in the region of operation;

    develop a business plan for the chosen idea;

    buy a car: it can be a van, a trailer, a bus - any roomy car suitable for conversion and for the very idea;

    buy the right equipment. Almost every mobile business will need an electrical generator;

    re-equip the car for a specific idea;

    register a business.

Registration of a business on wheels has its own characteristics. Registration of an individual entrepreneur or LLC will be standard, but at the stage of obtaining permits, various nuances may emerge. Depending on the idea, the entrepreneur must draw up a certain package of documents: a trade permit from the local administration, a permit from the traffic police, SES, State Fire Supervision, etc.

Ideas for a mobile business are so diverse that every entrepreneur can find a business that suits their interests and budget. In addition, the niche is open to experimentation: you can always come up with something of your own and stand out in the market. But, despite such freedom of business creativity, many choose proven ideas: a store, auto repair, a street cafe on wheels. These are the three most popular destinations. But in the West, this list of ideas is much wider.

1. Mobile club

Attachments: from 600 thousand rubles



Relatively recently, party basses appeared in our country - buses converted into an entertainment club for one company. Typically, such clubs have a dance floor, karaoke, a powerful music system, light music and even a mini-bar. Here you can spend a birthday, corporate party, hen or stag party, wedding, etc. This service will certainly be popular with young people who are constantly looking for new formats of entertainment.

To start your own business, it is not enough to buy a bus and hire a driver. You will need to turn an ordinary bus into a miniature club. This can take several months and a large sum of money. Sometimes refurbishing a car dealership is more expensive than buying the vehicle itself. In general, you can meet 600 thousand rubles. These are rather modest estimates. As practice shows, in large cities, entrepreneurs spend about 1.5-2 million to launch such a business. Such costs are associated with high-quality and road construction of the bus. But you can start a business with a more modest budget.

In this case, it is very important to think over the route of movement. It is necessary to draw up several schemes for the movement of the bus in advance. Choose streets with a smooth road surface, track the traffic situation on the navigator so as not to get stuck in a traffic jam. Take a road trip to the tourist attractions of the city, offer a route to romantic places - let the client choose the direction himself.

2. Veterinary clinic: vetmobile

Attachments: from 800 thousand rubles

In the US, veterinary clinics on wheels are quite popular. Most often, this is an ordinary veterinary business that provides a veterinarian call service. Mobile veterinary outpatient clinics are gradually appearing in Russia, but their specialization is limited to vaccination and sterilization of animals. A more advanced idea is to create a mobile veterinary clinic.

A mobile veterinary clinic can not only come on call, but also place special equipment for its services in the back of a car. Thanks to this, field services will become an order of magnitude better. For example, examining a dog in a car with special equipment is much easier than at home. And the services of a groomer, who often works at the client's home, will become much better. Grooming dogs at home is not entirely hygienic - and a groomer on wheels can correct the situation: the groomer comes to the house, the dog is taken out of the house to the veterinary car and cut in specialized conditions.

In addition, you have the opportunity to travel to different parts of the city, sell food and medicine for pets. You can also arrange a charity event and invite people to check the health of their pet in a vetmobile for free.

3. Bookstore

Attachments: 400 thousand rubles

In Japan, you can find bookstores and even libraries on wheels. You can adopt the idea and open your own original bookstore. Today, it is better to promote a bookstore on wheels not just as a place to sell printed publications, but as a creative space and even a social project. You can place a bookstore in a bright van and travel around the city, changing outlets. Or you can convert an entire bus and fill it with books. Add book crossings, sell used books, start a book club, and host various events. There can be many options - it all depends on your imagination.

4. Bath on wheels

Attachments: 600 thousand rubles

Especially for urban residents who prefer active and recreational recreation, a bathhouse was put on wheels. They reequipped a capacious truck of the KamAZ or GAZ type and sent it in search of customers. Such a bath can serve a company of 4 - 6 people and make good money. Experts believe that this is one of the most viable mobile business ideas in Russia. You can read more about opening a bath on wheels.

5. Mobile beauty salon

Attachments: from 500 thousand rubles

A mobile beauty salon is an innovation for the Russian market. This format is of interest not only to customers, but also to entrepreneurs. We act according to an already familiar scheme: we purchase a bus or other roomy transport that can be converted into a mini-salon. In this case, organizing a salon on wheels is really easier and cheaper than opening a full-fledged salon.

You can provide home visit services. It will surely be appreciated office workers, young mothers and just busy people who value their time. Another direction - such a salon can work at weddings, corporate parties and other events. The profit from such a business depends on the number of customers. With constant orders, the profitability of the salon can be more than 30%.

6. Mobile car wash

Attachments: 100 thousand rubles

It is rather difficult to open a stationary point of a conventional car wash: you need to choose the right places, prepare the site, purchase expensive equipment, collect permits ... It is much easier to organize an exit car wash. This service fits perfectly into the living conditions of modern million-plus cities. Today, many people have limited free time, so they will want to use the service when the car wash arrives at the named address.

The essence of the idea is opening an exit car wash in a dry way. For such washing, a special product containing wax is used. The business scheme is simple: orders are accepted by phone, customers indicate the exact address and choose the service. The operator names the time when the washers will be able to arrive at the address and transfers all the information to the performers. Washers go to the place and provide car maintenance services. Mobile car wash dry method takes about 20-30 minutes, depending on the degree of pollution of the car.

7. Cafe on wheels

Attachments: from 800 thousand rubles

A mobile cafe is a format of an inexpensive, cozy establishment that can compete with ordinary, stationary cafes. The main advantage of this format is that the cafe itself can come to visitors. Under the mobile format, you can adapt various areas of catering. All kinds of fast food will fit perfectly: hamburgers, hot dogs, shawarma and more. You can organize a station with chilled drinks, a cafe, a pastry shop, a smoothie bar. For such ideas, a small van, which is essentially a stall, is quite enough. Another format is a cafe inside the bus. Such institutions can be found not only abroad, but also in Russia.

Very often, supporters of the idea refer to cost savings - they say, opening a cafe on wheels is cheaper than equipping an ordinary catering establishment. But this is far from true. The initial investment of a mobile cafe includes the purchase of transport, equipping the kitchen, and in some projects, places for visitors. The result is not a budget cafe at all. Another point that raises doubts is the profitability of such an institution. In order for it to bring normal revenue, at least 50 seats are needed - and a cafe on wheels can serve no more than 20-30 people. In this case, the cafe should stand in a very crowded place and sell takeaway food.

In addition, there is a risk that your idea will not be approved by the sanitary services of the city. There are different examples of practice: some successfully overcame the bureaucratic barrier, others gave up and abandoned this idea. A good way out of this situation is to reorient the mobile cafe to corporate service and focus on entertainment program and light cuisine, organization of birthdays and parties - the main thing is to find your customers and do what you love.

8. Mobile tire fitting

Attachments: 700 thousand rubles

Troubles on the road happen quite often. The most common of them is wheel damage due to the quality of Russian roads. Sometimes a situation arises when the driver cannot get to the usual tire fitting - for example, there is no spare tire or several wheels are punctured. In such cases, tire fitting on wheels will come to the rescue. It is enough for the client to call on the phone and call a specialist.

It doesn’t take much to start such a business: a small truck or van like a Gazelle, equipment for the job and tire fitting skills. If the niche is free, then the business can be quite profitable. Gazelle can be equipped with additional tools and expand the list of services. For example, supply gasoline for refueling or provide a towing service.

9. Commercial emergency service

Attachments: from 400 thousand rubles

Accidents on communal networks should be eliminated by municipal services. But foreign experience has proved that commercial emergency gangs have the right to exist. In the event of a utility accident, residents can call a commercial vehicle service to fix the problem. In practice, it turns out that homeowners use the services of such organizations and are willing to pay for work, although municipal employees must do this for free. The decisive factor in favor of a commercial service is the time of arrival. This service is especially relevant for Russia, where utility accidents happen regularly.

10. Shoe shop

Attachments: from 250 thousand rubles

This type of service is in demand in any locality. Usually the workshop is a small stationary stall. But a great idea would be to put it on wheels and move from one part of the city to another in search of customers. Such a scheme is relevant for a shoe workshop for several reasons: firstly, people choose the workshop closest to their home; secondly, you can change the place if there are no orders; thirdly, you will be able to reach a large audience through your movements. You can do this sort of thing alone. If you have the skill of a shoemaker, you can start a simple but profitable business.

11. Cinema 5D

Attachments: from 800 thousand rubles

Watching movies is one of the popular entertainment and leisure activities. And such an interesting format will definitely attract its audience. The cinema can be built in a van trailer transported by an ordinary car. Install a screen, projector and seats inside, as well as equip it with an autonomous source of electrical energy. This cinema can accommodate 8 people. Additionally, you can install an attraction that allows you to play video in 5D format. With such a cinema, you can travel not only around the city, but also go to neighboring villages and villages. In such settlements, there is usually almost no entertainment, so there will be many people who want to watch a movie.

12. Mobile coffee shop

Attachments: 700 thousand rubles

AT last years The topic of mobile coffee houses is actively implemented on the market. Surely everyone met a coffee shop on wheels on the street - most often it is a special van equipped with all the necessary equipment. The coffee shop operates in the "coffee to go" format.

The main factor in the success of a mobile coffee shop is to take advantage of the location. These are park areas shopping centers, streets where office and administrative buildings are located or educational establishments, major transport interchanges, market areas, train stations, etc. But you will have to fight for such places. For the success of such a business, the main thing is to focus on the quality of the drinks produced and their low price compared to coffee houses. Then customers will want to come to you again and again to drink exactly your drink.

13. Mobile Quest

Attachments: from 600 thousand rubles

A few years ago, quests in reality made a breakthrough in the entertainment market and won their consumers. Now that this type of entertainment has become recognizable, we need to look for new quest formats to surprise the consumer again. One of the options is a quest on wheels. The idea is to organize a game quest room within the car. Moreover, it can be both a small-sized vehicle and a converted truck or bus.

A similar idea was successfully implemented by the Estonian company Exitmobiil, which offers visitors several quest scenarios on wheels. The advantage of this format is that players can choose the place where they will take the quest. Due to their mobility, quests can work at various events and visit settlements where this type of entertainment is not yet available. Earning such a quest on wheels will be no more than a stationary one. But the mobile format is an opportunity to stand out in a market that is already difficult for a beginner to enter.

14. Children's entertainment center

Attachments: from 300 thousand rubles

Children love games and entertainment. Parents are willing to spend a lot of money to ensure that their child has fun. It's no secret that you can earn good money on this. The business idea is to create a mobile playground. These can be inflatable arenas for active games, gaming computers, consoles and set-top boxes, etc. Specialists can also work there to look after the children and organize an entertainment program.

Such a service will be in demand where there are no conventional children's centers. For example, a company with children went to nature. Kids need something to keep them busy and entertained. And then, as if by magic, a mobile entertainment center appears at the recreation center. The amount of investment for the implementation of this idea can be different - it all depends on how you decide to entertain the children. For example, an inflatable maze will cost about 100 thousand rubles, and game consoles will cost even more.

15. Party Bike: pub on wheels

Attachments: from 300 thousand rubles

A very creative and fun business idea. The bottom line is that each visitor to the bar orders a favorite drink from the bartender and offers a specific route. To reach the intended goal, all participants in the pub on wheels must actively pedal. The maximum number of passengers here is 12. In addition, there are three places for visitors who do not pedal. There is also a helmsman and a bartender in the pub. As a result, each visitor of such a bar will not only enjoy their favorite drink, but also take care of their health by pedaling.

The pub on wheels earns not only from the proceeds from drinks, but also from the seat. To participate in the trip, you will need to buy a ticket. To go on a trip, a customer can call a pub at a specific address. The device of a pub on wheels is quite specific. It is essentially a multi-pedal bike with a canopy, a barrel of beer and a steering wheel. It is unlikely that you will be able to purchase such transport, but you can assemble something similar to order.

16. Medical center on wheels

Attachments: from 2 million rubles

Mobile medical complexes allow providing high-level assistance in various fields of medicine in field conditions. The mobile format is available for various areas of medicine: dentistry, fluorography, ophthalmology, laboratory, mobile family medicine room, and more.

Ready-made ideas for your business

17. Ice cream on wheels

Attachments: from 300 thousand rubles

For Russia, selling ice cream on wheels is a rarity. But just imagine how much attention a bright van that drives through the streets and offers to buy ice cream will attract. You can change the place, travel around the city on holidays and stop at the venues for various events. You do not need to select a place, solve problems with connecting to electricity. You just need to buy a van and buy ice cream. You will also need to equip the van with everything you need. If you sell ready-made ice cream from the manufacturer - only with a refrigerator. If you plan to sell your own ice cream, you will need a freezer, utensils and consumables (ice cream ingredients, toppings, waffle cones, etc.).

18. Boutique on wheels

Attachments: from 300 thousand rubles

Move from place to place - where your target audience is concentrated.

19. Flower shop

Attachments: from 300 thousand rubles

On the streets of many cities you can find flower carts - kiosks that look mobile, but in the very place they conduct stationary trade. You can start a truly mobile flower business. This will require a small truck. And here is an unusual way to sell flowers: to transport pots of flowers in a truck. The client selects the flowers and the florist forms a bouquet of freshly cut flowers.

This way you can solve several problems that flower sellers face:

    usually cut flowers deteriorate quickly. If they are not bought on time, wilted flowers are simply thrown away. In this case, the flowers will remain fresh until they are cut for a bouquet;

    your competitive advantage lies in the freshness of flowers and proximity to the client. The buyer appreciates the freshness of flowers and walking distance outlet;

    in ordinary bouquets, the price of wilted ones is already included in the cost of each flower. This format allows you to reduce the price of a bouquet, which attracts the buyer;

    a bright truck with flower pots will decorate the streets and will surely attract attention.

This business model has one significant drawback: it can only be implemented in the warm season. Because in cold weather, the flowers simply deteriorate. But this idea can be adopted by ordinary flower shops that want to increase profits and attract attention.

Business on wheels - features of running + 8 steps to open it + basic financial investments + description of 5 relevant ideas.

An unsuccessfully chosen place for the sale of goods or the provision of services is almost always a failure and loss for the entrepreneur.

And few can find the strength in themselves, and also have additional funds to start all over again.

If you have a fear of "burning out" precisely because you can choose the wrong place, then business on wheels- this is really a way out and a solution to the problem.

Especially if you do not want to deal with renting and repairing the premises.

In our country, this is already a fairly familiar and well-known way of doing business, but in Europe and the USA it is more common.

Mobile beauty salons, nightclubs, right in cars there have long been perceived as something outlandish and unusual.

Let's take a look at a few ideas that are working successfully with us.

Features and benefits of running a business on wheels

Starting a mobile business is not a big deal.

An entrepreneur does not need to look for a suitable premises, make repairs in it and hire a large staff.

It is enough to decide on the idea, buy the necessary car, re-equip it and start your “journey” to different parts of the city in search of a profitable place.

A business on wheels, like any other, is focused on a large number of customers.

But its main difference from the "stationary" one is that in case of failure, you can easily move to a more advantageous place.

In addition, a business on wheels has a number of other advantages:

  • there is no need to spend time and money looking for a suitable room;
  • relatively small investments and regular expenses;
  • minimum investment in advertising;
  • Pretty easy to get permits.

If the chosen direction still could not bring the entrepreneur the expected results, he will be able to resell even a converted car and not incur large losses.

Another option might be to try your hand at another business idea that could also be rolled out.

Procedure for opening a business on wheels

A detailed study and careful planning of the implementation of a conceived business idea are the key actions that need to be taken before starting a business.

Without knowledge of work in the chosen direction of business, as well as without drawing up an action plan and financial calculations, it is impossible to organize a stable and profitable business, no matter how profitable and profitable it may seem at first glance.

    Study of consumer demand in a particular area.

    Many mistakenly believe that if a business on wheels is not tied to a specific place, then there is no need to study demand.

    It's not like that at all.

    Agree that even by car it is not profitable to send 200 km to another settlement just because people there need something.

    Therefore, you need to study the unoccupied niches in your city and analyze their need among the population and choose several directions for yourself.

    Generating a business idea.

    The best option would be the direction in which you have certain knowledge or experience.

    If they are not there, but there is a long-standing dream to try something new, then you need to start studying it and start acting.

    This document is drawn up in any case.

    Even if you have your own funds to start a business, do not neglect this stage.

    A business plan will help analyze the profitability of investing in an idea, calculate the amount of capital investment, and will also serve as a detailed instruction on the actions to be taken.

    Buying and branding a car.


    Depending on the idea of ​​a business on wheels you choose, you will need to purchase a new or used car.

    It can be a passenger or passenger car vehicle, which can fit into the concept of the idea.

    After the purchase, you can start branding the car.

    This refers to its refurbishment and development of a design that will fit the intended idea.

    Registration.

    The procedure for registering a business on wheels is carried out in the usual way.

    You need:

    • choose the organizational and legal form: IP, LLC;
    • determine the form of taxation;
    • obtain permits from the sanitary and epidemiological station and the fire inspection;
    • obtain permits to conduct business activities in local authorities.

  1. Acquisition of equipment and, if necessary, goods.

    After buying a car, you need to start searching and purchasing equipment.

    This is the second largest expense item in the amount of the initial investment.

    Depending on the chosen direction of activity, it is necessary to purchase all the necessary equipment and goods that will be needed during the work.

    Personnel search.


    The idea of ​​a business on wheels does not require a large investment in staff.

    At first, you can do the work yourself and hire a shift, who needs to be trained in all issues and nuances, as well as working with equipment.

    It is important that the employee has the rights of a certain category.

    But you may have to hire a driver who will overtake the car if the employee himself cannot do this.

    In any case, the cost of staff salaries will not be too high.

    The idea of ​​a business on wheels is not so much in need of active advertising.

    Here you need to find a "cereal" place with a large flow of people, or consider an area where there is a demand for your activity among the population.

    Depending on the chosen field of activity, it is necessary to develop marketing strategy, the tools of which will be used during the implementation of the idea.

    After completing this process, you can safely choose a place, go to the first planned point and start work.

    Remember that in case of failure, you can start the car right that day and go to another place.

The main financial investments in a business on wheels

As mentioned above, the business plan of the chosen idea includes detailed calculations of the initial investment and regular investments.

The starting capital for the implementation of the idea will consist of the following expenses:

  • buying a car;
  • its refurbishment and branding;
  • purchase of an electric generator, a tank of water and a pump for its supply;
  • purchase of a cash register;
  • expenses for registration and obtaining permits;
  • purchase of the necessary equipment / tools and the first batch of goods / raw materials;
  • advertising expenses;
  • other unforeseen expenses.

Regular investments include:

  • fuel and vehicle maintenance costs;
  • car depreciation;
  • communal payments;
  • employees' wages;
  • regular purchase of goods or raw materials;
  • advertising expenses;
  • other expenses.

Regardless of which business idea is chosen, one cannot do without investing in the purchase of the appropriate car.

It must be selected depending on what you decide to do.

For example, in some idea you can limit yourself to a passenger car, but for something you will need a van, truck or even a bus.

Car examples:

  • Toyota DD;
  • Volkswagen Caddy;
  • Mercedes Sprinter
  • GAZ / Gazelle and others.

And now you have decided on the idea of ​​​​a business on wheels, and at this stage you will need to purchase a car and re-equip it, that is, start branding and styling it:

  • buying a new car - $ 20,000-25,000;
  • branding and styling of a car - $5000-10000.

The rest of the investment will depend on what you plan to do.

5 relevant business ideas on wheels


A business on wheels can be implemented in the form of many ideas.

They may relate to food and non-food trade and the provision of services.

Let's consider several options.

1. Coffee to go

This is the most popular idea for a business on wheels, and of course we can't help but dwell on it.

In Russia and Ukraine, you can increasingly notice.

The essence of the idea is to trade in coffee that visitors can take with them and enjoy a drink on the go.

To open a business, you will need to purchase a water tank, an electric generator, a display case, a professional coffee machine, a coffee grinder and small refrigeration equipment for storing cream and milk.

Regular investments in such an idea of ​​​​a business on wheels are presented in the form of the purchase of high-quality coffee, sugar, milk, cream, syrups, consumables - plastic or paper cups and napkins.

You need to place a mobile point in crowded places - metro stations, bus stations, business centers, educational institutions and city parks.

2. Mobile coffee shop or canteen

This business on wheels idea is more advanced than the previous one.

There are two development options, among which you can choose the one that suits you:

    Fast food to go.

    This includes such products: hot dogs, donuts, sandwiches, pizzas and other similar foods.

    Depending on the assortment you choose, you may need a microwave oven to warm up dishes, a coffee machine, a hot dog maker, a waffle iron, a pancake maker.

    Refrigeration equipment and a powerful electric generator will be mandatory.

    Cooking will not work, except for hot dogs, so you need to find suppliers who will provide you with blanks and semi-finished products.

    Or you can cook meals yourself in a stationary room, and sell them already in fast food on wheels.

    Full dining area with seating.

    To implement such a business on wheels, you cannot limit yourself to a passenger car, because you will need to purchase a full-fledged bus, which is subsequently divided into two parts: a small kitchen and the cafe itself with several tables.

    The range of dishes offered may be the same as in the option described above.

    In order not to be sprayed on a menu with many positions, we recommend choosing a narrow specialization - pizzeria, donut shop.

    And the cafe itself can stand in one place or move around the city together with visitors.

3. Tire service or mobile emergency service

Car owners often find themselves in unforeseen situations - tire punctures, car breakdowns.

Naturally, you won’t be able to leave, which is why mobile workshops were invented that deal with emergency repairs.

The point of this idea of ​​a business on wheels is that when a driver has a problem, he calls a similar service, which comes to him and fixes the problem.

For these purposes, you will need to choose a car in the form of a van with the equipment and tools that are necessary for car maintenance.

To implement such an idea, active advertising is needed.

As with the previous options, when people just walk past you, it will not work to make themselves known.

Here you will already need to work on call, so promote your business in all known ways.

4. Shop

“The types of business are different, but the business as a system remains the same, regardless of its scale and structure, products, technologies and markets.”
Peter Drucker

One of the walls of the truck is a showcase with goods.

To realize this idea, you can trade both food products - pastries, fresh vegetables, fruits, meat, fish, and non-food products - clothing, jewelry, accessories and more.

In the case of a food group of goods, it is imperative to obtain the appropriate permits, as well as make such investments - buy a showcase of an electric generator and refrigeration equipment, which will be responsible for the safety and freshness of products.

If you are thinking about getting into trading, then for a start, take a closer look at the business on wheels.

And then you will have a chance to find a really profitable place where the sales volume will meet your expectations.

Another original business idea on wheels is discussed in the video:

5. Cinema

The idea of ​​a business on wheels in the form of a mobile cinema is relevant both in small towns or villages, where there is practically no entertainment, and in large settlements, especially in areas remote from the center.

By installing a projector and a few seats, you can travel around your city or nearby settlements, and give their residents the opportunity to have fun.

In this case, you need to take care of acquiring not only equipment, but also a license to broadcast films.

The latter will be presented as regular attachments.

Business on wheels is not limited to these ideas.

If your fantasy of generating ideas works well, and you are not afraid to take risks, then you can easily implement almost any conceived project, which, when done this way, has a quick payback.

And this is not surprising, because you get a unique opportunity to move around the city in search of a profitable place.

Therefore, find a suitable car, buy the necessary equipment, make detailed business plan and get started.

And remember that success does not come to those who do nothing.

The words of Ostap Bender "a car is not a luxury, but a means of transportation" today can be safely paraphrased "a car is not a luxury, but a means for making money." This idea is visited by many people with an entrepreneurial streak. Still, mobility allows you not to wait for the client, but to go to him with your own set of services and goods. Here is what forum member bomba78 said about this: “Being in demand where there are crowds of people is an obvious competitive advantage.”

Gentleman's set of business on wheels

Gentleman's set business on wheels includes - fast food, car shop, auto repair on call and evacuation. “In Russia, the lion's share of mobile entrepreneurship falls on the listed positions,” says Petr Yagodin, an expert on small business. - At the same time, in the West, this list is much wider. People offer original and even extravagant services and always find customers.”

And how are they?

The popular information portal MSN published an article with photographs showing how Western entrepreneurs earn money by owning a car. Another site, Entrepreneur.com, told of a successful mobile beauty salon that cruised off the coast. In general, a review of the foreign press revealed many interesting business ideas. This is a gym on wheels, a cinema with special effects, a fear room, a photo workshop, a play center for children and much more.

“Americans love to have big outdoor parties,” said businessman Michael Krasnoff. - Usually such flash mobs are always accompanied by "entertainment on wheels".

By the way, Russia also has interesting ideas. For example, an original business with a national flavor.

Tire fitting on wheels

“Mobile tire changers are designed for those who have punctured more than one wheel on the road,” the forum member Administrator comments on this idea. - In this case, the spare wheel will not save. You will either need to call a tow truck, or look for a stationary workshop nearby, which, again, you need to somehow get to. You can also get spare wheels or fill with temporary filler (some models allow this). But all these methods are very costly. And driving on broken or punctured wheels is more expensive for yourself. After such a trip, repairs will cost a round sum. In this case, tire fitting on wheels will come in handy. If the niche is not occupied, then the business can be quite profitable. You can negotiate with companies that provide towing services so that they can call this tire shop.

This idea was somewhat expanded by Vasaholy: “It is logical to equip such a Gazelle with an additional tool, in particular, a starter charger and call it auto-assistance.”

commercial emergency gang

It is clear that accidents on utility networks should be eliminated by municipal services. However, the experience of other countries has shown that commercial emergency gangs have the right to life. “We can leave in a matter of minutes to maintain heat supply in apartment buildings, for example, when a heating plant burst,” said Polish entrepreneur Jakub Lewandowski from szybki podgrzew. - Capabilities of the boiler, which is installed on "Mercedes Sprinter", allows you to maintain autonomous heating in a building with thirty apartments. It's expensive, but the authorities and the landlord always go to pay for our services. We serve quite a large area.” This experience is also relevant because in Russia accidents with heat supply happen regularly.

Mobile club

A curious proposal was posted on the social network "Vkontakte" by one company, saying that "any holiday event- a birthday, a wedding, a meeting of old friends or classmates - you always want to spend it in such a way as to remember this day for many years. But, basically, a long choice of venue for this event ends with a painful choice - to celebrate in nature, in a restaurant or in a nearby nightclub ... ".

We are talking about a mobile club - incendiary "parties" on wheels. Forum member dJ_zevs reported a similar experience: “My friend and I have parties in the countryside - discos, movies on the big screen, karaoke. In essence, we are a mobile entertainment center.”

Cinema 5D on wheels

A club on wheels is good, but a 5D cinema is cooler, the Samsonov brothers from the Russian outback decided. To implement their idea, they purchased a mobile attraction in Ukraine, which they placed in the KUNG of their truck. “We travel around the villages,” says the elder Samsonov, Oleg. - The cinema has its own source of electricity. There is little fun in the countryside, so people go to films with special effects with their whole families. The equipment cost 1.2 million rubles - expensive of course. Tickets are sold at 100 rubles for a child, and 150 for an adult. Repeated session is half the price. As a result, we take away 30-40 thousand rubles from one point. It seems that for this attraction, the mobile version is more profitable than the stationary one.

There is a certain logic in this text. The villagers never miss a moment to gather with the whole village, and thus
more to say "we are no worse than others." Therefore, going around the regional villages, you can earn more than sitting in the basement on the main street of a provincial town.

Shoe shop in the car

Another popular in the village mobile business- is a shoe workshop on wheels. It can easily be placed in the "Niva", decorating the body of the car with a sign "shoe repair". “Of course, in those villages where there is a shoemaker, there is nothing to look for,” Ivan Egorov, an entrepreneur from Perm, shared his secret. - But where he is a "outlandish bird", you can safely expect a full house. This business is so good, you can be content with a simple hand tool. I drive in circles, visit the surrounding villages once every three months, and in a couple of days I fix the shoes of the local villagers.” The same can be said about clothing repair.

Hotel anywhere

One enterprising American built a real five-room hotel from an old bus. This was announced by Russian traveler Yuri Vasiliev, who recently returned from the United States. Some interesting events are constantly taking place in America, either the championship of professional boxers, or the presentation of a new film. And hundreds of thousands of fans rush from one end of the mainland to the other. As a rule, on the days of the "invasions" there are no free hotel rooms, and people pitch tents. The cost of any decent "removal" increases to a thousand dollars a day. This is what the porter on wheels uses, following the restless lovers of spectacles.

Among our domestic lovers of non-standard and active recreation, traveling in bus houses is not yet as popular as in the West. But this happens not because of some special national mentality, but because of the lack of offers on the market for such means for travel and recreation. Not only that, experts say that once a company appears that starts mass-producing such mobile homes, its products will immediately become very popular, provided that it can meet the three most important conditions that guarantee its commercial success:

  • affordability;
  • high quality;
  • variety of trade offers.

If, as it seems to me, everything is clear with price and quality, then I will tell you separately why it is so important to comply with the condition of a variety of goods when mastering the business idea “Creation, sale and rental of bus houses”. The main reason for this is that you will always be able to attract the widest possible number of buyers, since you will offer goods at different prices. Someone can afford a “minibus” rebuilt as a house, while another buyer is much more suitable for a real mansion, converted from a multi-seat double-decker Mercedes bus.


But, of course, one should not forget about quality, because without it, not a single successful sale of a motorhome made by you will be possible.


And turning a bus into a house is not as difficult as it seems, and anyone with the skills of a plumbing or carpentry repair is able to do it. The conversion of a bus into a travel home begins with the partial dismantling of the floor, ceiling and walls, since at least everything internal surfaces require complete replacement. This is done in order, firstly, to achieve complete soundproofing of the cabin, and, secondly, to protect the inhabitants of the motor home from cold and heat.


Only after this begins the arrangement of housing, in which you must place:

  • beds, dining table and chairs;
  • wardrobe for storage of luggage and kitchen utensils;
  • the kitchen itself, and work surfaces for cooking;
  • a washbasin is also needed, and ideally a shower, which entails the need to place a container to store significant amounts of water;
  • you also need a toilet, under which a separate autonomous room is allocated;
  • windows can be closed with both curtains and blinds, but if we are talking about a large bus, many of them can be removed, replaced with light-tight bulkheads, which will make the future home even more comfortable;
  • also take care of lighting, heating, and, of course, do not forget about the power sources of all installed electrical appliances;
  • for greater comfort, install a TV, music center, and on the roof - an antenna for receiving Internet and TV signals.

The most interesting thing is that all of the above can be placed in the smallest bus, provided that you show engineering talent, and you can make all the furniture in the bus retractable. So the bed for the daytime can rise to the ceiling, and the table and chairs can be removed, if necessary, into the wall. You can go the way that the inhabitants of tiny Japanese apartments have chosen for themselves, who install low furniture and a moving floor, descending, it covers the “ground floor” of your house (conditionally - seating, eating and kitchen), turning the bus interior into bedroom.

You should also take care of a removable awning, which can be installed during stops. Such an awning will increase the living space at once, allowing literally in a few minutes to set up a tent next to the bus, which can accommodate both a “dining room” and a “living room”, as well as a completely comfortable “bedroom”. And, of course, let's not forget that the roof of the bus can be used no less effectively, on which a refrigerator is perfectly placed for storing food and drinks, or the same water containers, or lockable compartments for storing luggage, which can be climbed up a ladder securely fixed on board the motorhome.
