Without a penny. How to make a million for a young entrepreneur: examples of a rapidly growing business from scratch

At the end of last week, as you remember, my wife Yulia and I sowed our first seeds in our lives (read more - In the meantime, we are waiting for the shoots, I propose to tackle an equally serious issue - finding a plot of land? With the fruits that I grew within the four walls of my own apartments, you won’t be able to feed yourself for a long time. So, we have to go there...

Let everything be legal
So, we are interested in the classic six hundred square meters, despite the fact that we do not have an extra three hundred to five hundred thousand rubles. Not even a hundred. And taking ownership of the land is not an option. Every year you will have to pay a hefty tax for it. To calculate it, multiply the area of ​​the plot by the cadastral value of one square meter of land and the tax percentage rate. For land for private farming it is 0.3%. Depending on the size of the plot and its cost, the amounts can add up to tens and even hundreds of thousands.

What to do? Lawyer Alexander Vorsunov, well-known to readers, explains: taking into account the latest changes in land legislation, only benefit recipients can receive plots for free. And the new law includes among them: disabled people and veterans of the Great Patriotic War, medical workers and agricultural specialists who live and work in rural areas, as well as young spouses no more than 35 years old who permanently reside in the village.

Personally, I won’t be able to quickly become a doctor or an agronomist. Even if you try really hard. Go to live with your wife in the village? It is possible, but “permanent” residence, as referred to in the law, requires more than one year. We need everything at once. This means that only one of the preferential options is suitable - a participant in the war. A kind veteran who agreed to give us the plot for temporary use (it’s unlikely that at 90 years old you can do this yourself). He gives us the land, we give him the fruit - a mutually beneficial exchange. True, among our relatives and friends there was no such person.

By the way, the regional law also talks about large families. But I rejected this option immediately. My wife and I won’t be able to quickly give birth to three or more children either. Even if you try really, really hard. We won’t accommodate adopted children (besides, at least one of the three children in the family must be their own). And most importantly, perhaps this program will cease to exist in the foreseeable future when the regional law is brought into line with the federal law.

It’s a little easier, as Alexander told us, to re-register the land as the property of someone who received it in Soviet times and cultivated it all his adult life. You will have to go through the authorities, but the result will be positive. This doesn't work for us young people. But we can also turn to a pensioner with a request to provide us with a dacha for a while. But few grandmothers are in a hurry to go to government agencies. If the plot is owned, you will have to pay tax. We have already talked about its size.

There is another unlikely option: to find some kind of gardening and non-profit (gardening and dacha) partnership that has registered the land it owns. In this case, SNT (SDT) can dispose of the land as it wants. Including - to allocate one of the free plots to us. Put it on the cadastre and bring up the issue of free provision of the site to the general meeting of members. All we have to do is agree with the administration on changes to the general development plan for the partnership's area and register the right to the site. However, there are so many “buts” in this option that I won’t even list them. In our case, the chances are almost zero.

And here we are!
We have exhausted legal methods. Now let’s see how we can act “informally” and what we will get for it.

As you know, there are more than enough ownerless summer cottages in the region. There are entire abandoned villages, you just have to look. True, having found your desired six hundred square meters, you never know when the owner will come. Try to explain to him that you are a journalist for Samara News and are conducting a country experiment. He will tear off his ears and say that it happened.

You can return to the conversation about SNT and try to act through it. The chairman of the partnership will look around his land and indicate which area is being used and which is not. Perhaps, after lengthy negotiations, he will agree to give us this piece of land. Maybe for a certain amount, maybe for a few bottles of vodka, or maybe he will send us away. It depends on your luck.

Let's say we succeeded. Here it is, our promised land! But it’s too early to rejoice. Even if you manage to sit on these acres for more than one year, at one point everything can go down the drain. Having occupied the site in such a daring manner, we have no right to build or grow anything on it. If they get caught for illegal enrichment or unauthorized possession, it won’t seem like much (especially since the chairman is already in the know). You will have to pay land tax for every year you live on it. I don’t want to repeat again how much money this is. Unless our statute of limitations is 3 years, as our lawyer reminds us. This means that after sitting illegally on the property for 10 years, you will only pay for three. But you can’t sit that long!

So how can I make sure my foot finally sets foot in the country? To summarize what has been said, I chose the only option for myself: find familiar summer residents and use the site with their permission as much as you like. These people can be of any age and any gender. The main thing is that they own the land.

Are you thinking about starting your own business, but don’t yet know where to get the money for it? Here are some tips on how to start a business without a penny in your pocket. Just like meeting your soulmate or having your first child, the best time to launch a new product or service may come when you least expect it. To make the most of the opportunities that arise, you must gather your courage and act decisively!

Let's say you, like most people in our world, were born without a silver spoon in your mouth, and therefore you may get the impression that there are insurmountable obstacles in the way of starting your own business. So how can you turn your idea into a thriving business with little or no initial capital? Is it really possible to start a business in this age of multimillion-dollar Series A investments without the help of an angel investor or venture capitalist?

Answer: of course, yes. But this is not easy, and such a process cannot be understood intuitively. Here are three tips, based on my own experience, on how to start a business without having to sell off your belongings to scrape together money in the process:

1. Don't quit your day job

At least for a while. By working full-time while you prepare to launch your company, you can use your salary to cover unexpected expenses (outside your free time) that pop up from time to time when starting your own business. This approach will also provide you with the financial stability and peace of mind you need to observe and learn from other people's successes and failures before diving into things yourself. This can be done by networking with businesses in your industry, volunteering, and researching the entrepreneurial landscape to prepare for any eventuality. The Everyday Entrepreneur will help you with your last endeavor. It contains clear, easy-to-follow lessons from entrepreneurs in a wide variety of industries, providing valuable advice on how to avoid costly mistakes for newbies.

2. Try literally every option available.

One of the most important (and expensive) lessons I learned from founding Heritage Link Brands is that not all countries, states or municipalities are created equal when viewed from the perspective of a company's physical location. Some provide more perks or hidden benefits to start-up companies to encourage entrepreneurship depending on the industry, product or service provided. Since we decided to launch a wine company (one of the most regulated industries in the world), we kept detailed records to understand the costs (for example, annual licensing cost $5,000 in Massachusetts versus $400 in California) and made decisions accordingly. . Because there is so much information available online, you should take advantage of visual comparisons or commercial indexes before making large investments. Also, do not forget to use services such as freelance, which will allow you to attract outside specialists who deal with minor details that always take place when running a business. With the support of such firms, your business can slowly gain momentum as you expand your capabilities to match the pace of your enterprise's growth.

3. Don't be afraid to accept help from strangers, friends or family.

Whether it's finding interns at the university you graduated from or recruiting volunteers who have heard through the grapevine how unique and diverse the services you offer are, you can radically expand your enterprise's capacity. This low-cost/no-cost opportunity is most easily managed by providing a trial period for those people who are willing to take a closer look and develop systems and processes for ongoing collaboration in the future. You should also select skills that match the needs of the business. It's also important to remember that whoever you get involved needs to know what they're doing - because if things go wrong, the consequences will only get worse if family members or friends are involved. If you feel like things aren't going well, don't hesitate to let go of volunteers who aren't contributing to the company. Last but not least, always express your gratitude and appreciate the extra help these noble people give you! Honestly, I don't know how I would have managed without the help of the many volunteers who have contributed to the success of my business.
