Stavropol was founded in 1777 on the orders of Catherine II. The settlement, originally conceived as a fortress, grew rapidly and by the middle of the 19th century became a major economic center. Merchants and Cossacks preferred to settle here.
Even during the construction of the fortress, a cross was discovered, it is unknown how it ended up in a place that previously belonged to the Turks. The village was named “Stavropol”, which translated from Greek means “city of the cross”.
In a modern city, the streets are constantly being improved. The regional center wins landscaping competitions almost every year.

Best business ideas
Taking into account the peculiarities of the region, we present 10 promising ideas for opening your own project.
Packing shop
It is more convenient for small and medium-sized farmers to outsource the packaging of products - cereals, grains, meat - to a third-party enterprise: the former do not have enough funds to organize an additional business, while others are not always ready to deal with documents and registration. One of the disadvantages of packaging products under your own brand is careful quality control: the packer is responsible for the purity of the raw materials. Each type of product requires a certificate of conformity and compliance with sanitary standards for the operation and storage of food products.
Options for a budget business are purchasing several filling machines: to reduce costs, you can choose Chinese or used equipment. To organize storage and launch, you will need a warehouse and employees - machine operators, sales people and the administrative department.
Beekeeping
Dozens of beekeeping establishments have been opened in the region, but micro-companies do not compete with each other - consumer cooperatives have been created for businessmen, receiving financial support from the state. The amount of funding will increase in 2019 - grants of up to 70 million rubles have been allocated for this type of agriculture.
The problem of modern beekeeping is that fake honey has replaced the natural product on the market. The price for such sweets is lower, but the fake contains chemicals and preservatives, losing its natural characteristics. To organize a bee farm at the start, you will need from 120 thousand rubles: for the purchase of hives and maintenance equipment. The local administration will allocate a plot of land near the honey plants for rent. Among the by-products of the farm are wax, propolis and pollen - valuable components used in the food industry and cosmetology.
Often home farms and productions need management and sales organization. When setting up distribution channels, a businessman can act as an intermediary between clients and farmers without opening his own beekeeping farm.
Making home decor
In 2021, interior topics are gaining popularity on social networks: bloggers talk about apartment design, space zoning, furniture and room decor. This wave created a demand for home workshop and handmade products. Among the most purchased products:
- ceramic dishes: dishes, trays, flowerpots, wall compositions;
- concrete pots for succulents and cacti in a loft style;
- macrame table runners, panels and flower hangings;
- wooden shelves, serving boards, frames and stands;
- woven and knitted carpets and baskets.
Start-up investments in home decor production will only be required for materials and training - hiring employees at the start-up stage is impractical. For an entrepreneur-organizer, the idea of creating a platform for uniting craftsmen - a website or an offline store - is suitable. For trade in handicrafts, the format of creating a “flea market” is suitable: in a room equipped by a businessman, craftsmen will be able to rent a shelf for an exhibition of products. The entrepreneur’s task is to promote and advertise goods, as well as find tenants. Franchisors work in this niche - investments in starting a business start from 90 thousand rubles.
Fresh bar
Freshly squeezed juices and smoothies appeared in the wake of the popularization of a healthy lifestyle. For hot Stavropol, creating a bar located on central streets and parks will be a profitable business. A businessman from Kazan, Ramil Shaikhetdinov, opened a “smoothie” in 2021 - three years later, the business grew to 25 points in ten regions of Russia. The organization's net profit is 45 million rubles. in year.
If city residents are accustomed to an abundance of fresh fruit at any time of the year, then tourists from cold regions and visitors to sanatoriums will enjoy this vitamin cocktail.
Acceptable bar formats are in a shopping trailer or on the basis of another institution - a hospital, resort, gym, shopping center. You can diversify the establishment's menu with eco-products: diet bars, cookies made from gluten-free flour and salads from fresh vegetables. The advantage of a “fresh bar” is profitability: drinks are sold with a markup of 300%.
Consulting agency
23% of the population of Stavropol is employed in entrepreneurship, which means demand in the field of b2b services. To open a consulting agency, you need to analyze what services businessmen require: accounting, tax support, business recommendations or auditing. The list does not include legal advice, since you can discuss legal issues with a specialist free of charge in government agencies. Due to low barriers to entry into the industry - small start-up capital and availability of knowledge, competition in the niche is high. However, the risks of such a business are considered insignificant: no investment is required to start the project - you can set up an office at home.
An agency that advises on business issues and the organization of business processes is called a consulting agency. The agency's services include a comprehensive analysis of the enterprise's operation and the development of anti-crisis measures. The consultant must understand related business topics: finance, marketing, legal issues, etc. If there is no target audience for the project in a small city, the agency can work remotely.
Production of raw oil
A special feature of the city is the availability of high quality food products. The target audience of the project is residents of megacities who are concerned about the state of the environment, the quality of food and the growing number of diseases. There are consumers who consciously choose only diet products due to health concerns or ethical concerns. The technology for making raw-pressed oil differs from obtaining the usual product: the seeds are pressed in an oak press, which does not heat up during operation. The resulting oil is not subjected to heat treatment and retains all the beneficial properties of the raw material.
Raw oil has a variety of flavors: the product is made from pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, pine nuts and coconut. During the squeezing process, cake is formed - seeds that no longer contain oil. The cake is sold as an independent product for adding to salads and other dishes. Flour is also made from defatted seeds, which is valued by lovers of proper nutrition. The disadvantages of opening such a business are the profitability of 20%, but growing demand will reduce the payback period of the project.
Joint purchases
To organize such a business you do not need capital or special knowledge - the only advantage will be a large number of acquaintances. The JV organizer collects applications to place a wholesale order with the supplier, which allows the buyer to save money. Previously, it was possible to place an order only through the website, but now the organizer adds purchasing participants to a general chat in instant messengers, where he sends information about the supplier, goods and payment.
The key to success is the audience. From one order, the entrepreneur receives 10% of the profit, therefore, the higher the organizer’s turnover, the more earnings. The disadvantages of the business are high competition and low income. Often, joint ventures are small players: a target audience of over 500 people in a group or chat is rare. With careful organization and improvement of service, the chances of gaining a competitive advantage are high.
Pedigree animal nursery
It is traditionally believed that opening a nursery is a passive income, because people are used to caring for animals and plants every day, not considering it work. Breeding animals and plants requires both skills and knowledge in biology and veterinary medicine. To organize a dog kennel, you need not only to sell puppies, but also to attend exhibitions, obtain veterinary passports for puppies and make pedigrees.
Reputation-conscious breeders bring stud dogs from well-known kennels to diversify the gene pool. Creating a nursery is a delicate matter, but interesting and, with proper management, profitable. Among dogs, representatives of the decorative breed are most often purchased. The cost of a show class Pomeranian puppy, depending on the show titles of the parents, can reach 200 thousand rubles. The “pet” class, bred for family maintenance, will cost the buyer less: up to 50 thousand rubles. The larger the animal, the higher the maintenance costs: a Chihuahua nursery can be kept in the house, while breeding Labradors will require the construction of outdoor enclosures.
Free magazine for moms
It is believed that the printed press is a thing of the past. However, hypermarket chains began to print their own magazines with product catalogs, useful information for the buyer and promotional offers. The business idea of a free magazine for parents is to create a publication with interesting articles and photographs, which will pay for itself through advertising placed on the pages.
In Cheboksry, whose population does not exceed 500 thousand people, mother on maternity leave Maria Smirnova opened her own free magazine, which sells 7 thousand copies. The publication is distributed through installations installed in shopping centers - placing photographs of city residents on the pages of the magazine. This maintains interest in the publication and helps distribution. The profit of the business allows the entrepreneur to maintain a staff of sales people and content managers.
Ecotourism
The usual resort holiday by the pool has long bored the sophisticated tourist. Trend 2021 – ecotourism – extreme travel to places of untouched nature. The authorities of the Stavropol Territory are interested in the development of ecotourism: 41 nature reserves have been created in the region - landscaped protected areas with lighting, gazebos and campsites, and eco-trails of varying complexity have been opened.
An inexperienced traveler needs the services of a guide. Organizing excursions is a profitable business. Excursions to the nearest nature reserve are interesting not only for visiting tourists, but also for local residents. An entrepreneur from Tobolsk, Alexey Sheshuev, organized one-hour and two-day excursions for city residents, including river rafting and an overnight stay in the forest. You can organize a club on the basis of an educational institution: schoolchildren will be happy to take part in hikes.
