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 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 accept average population enterprises of 20 people, this will amount to 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 it can be said 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 a network of their 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 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 the high quality of 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. Water this region 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.

bottled quality drinking water 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" refers to the highest category, which will increase the profitability of the enterprise due to a higher selling price, and, accordingly, increase marginal income enterprises.

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 safety 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 adversely 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 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 promotion of the brand is carried out by the trading network; all trade marks assortment are advertised 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 is highly seasonal, advertising campaign planned for changes.

The sale of water by the distribution network is carried out both through retail outlets by 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. four.

Table 4. The cost of works on the device of an artesian well

Water is supplied to a production facility located 50-70 m from the well, where bottling is carried out directly. The list of equipment is given in Table. 5.

Table 5. A set of equipment for filling water into 19-liter bottles

Ready-made ideas for your business

The flow rate of the well exceeds the volume of water required during the first two years of the project. The volume of production is dictated by volumes retail sales. The average production volume in the first two years is 10,000 liters per day. The warehouse needs to maintain a constant stock to cover a two-day demand. Three lungs are used to transport water from the production site to the points of sale. trucks load capacity 1.5 tons.

Required area of ​​the production site - 50 sq.m., warehouse - 80 sq.m. The number of production workers is 4 people. The number of auxiliary and warehouse workers - 3 people. The full staffing table is given in Table. 6. The production plan is given in App. 5.

All workplaces are certified in accordance with the law, ensuring maximum safety and availability of labor protection equipment.

6. ORGANIZATIONAL PLAN

All administrative and managerial functions performed individual entrepreneur. To organize effective work, he must have general knowledge in the field of entrepreneurship, tax legislation and accounting. Knowledge of detailed knowledge of production technology and labor protection is also important. Technology training is carried out by the equipment supplier within 2 working days after the installation of the equipment directly at the production site.

Table 6 staffing and payroll

All foods and liquids must be good quality so that a person is not threatened with serious poisoning and disease. The requirements for water are even tougher, because without it no life is possible. But the reserves of pure natural water, which can be drunk without pre-treatment, little is left. Tap liquid has to be passed through a filter, settled or boiled. But, when thirsty, there is no time and desire for such procedures. It is easier to buy bottled water in a store or order it home through a delivery service. There is never enough drinking water, and demand is growing. This enables the entrepreneur to develop a business plan for the production of drinking water and offer his range on the market.

To understand what investments are needed to implement the idea, it is advisable to prepare a business plan for the production of drinking water with calculations. It can be presented as a clear example to banks or other partners who decide to help financially.

Summary

It is planned to launch the production of carbonated and non-carbonated drinking water without any additives. The main activity is aimed at the production of non-alcoholic beverages.

Raw material will come from a personal well. The deposit was found, the quality and composition of water were determined in the state laboratory. The well is located in a forested area. There is no opportunity to establish production directly at the source. Therefore, the water will be pumped into tanks and delivered to the production located in the suburbs.

Premises: 2-storey building with an adjacent territory. The area of ​​the premises is 300 sq. m. On the 1st floor there will be a workshop and a warehouse, on the 2nd floor there will be rooms for staff and administration. The building needs repair and redevelopment, summing up communications.

Form of activity: LLC (company with limited liability). Activity code No. 11.07 - "Production of soft drinks, various bottled drinking water."

Taxation - simplified (USN).

Service list

• Production of drinking water, carbonated and non-carbonated.
• Wholesale trade grocery stores and supermarkets.
• Address delivery to customers on call.

Production mode

Production: daily from 09.00 to 19.00.

Address delivery service: from 08.00 to 20.00.

Preparation of documents

Based on the fact that the raw materials will be used from our own well, you need to draw up documents for this site. Having received permission and the right to work, we hand over water for research to the state laboratory. Expert opinion in hand. Water does not contain large impurities, which will reduce the number of purification steps. The worse the water, the more expensive the production will be and the more difficult it will be to compete with water with better taste.

• Permission from the administration to open a drinking water plant.
• Lease agreement for the premises in which the production of drinking water will be located.
• Conclusion of the SES on the possibility of opening a workshop in the selected area.
• The conclusion of the fire department on safety conditions.
• Quality certificates for equipment that will be used at the enterprise.
• Certificate of water quality that will be supplied to the consumer. Without this passport, shops will not take goods to their shelves.
• An agreement with the power supply company for the connection of a high-capacity line, because the production line is fully automated.
• Employees must have a health book and an employment contract.

Project estimate

Let's move on to an important part of the business plan - calculations. This will allow you to determine the costs that will arise during the preparation stage for the launch of the bottled water line. We will reflect the expense items in the table:

Type of expenses	Amount of investments, thousand rubles
Collection of documentation and business registration (water analysis, well design, coordination with inspection departments, product licensing)	250
Equipment of the production area	–
Blowing machine plastic bottles volume from 0.5 to 10 l	800
Molds for containers	50
Line for automatic bottling of water into containers (up to 3 thousand bottles per hour)	900
Apparatus for sticking labels on a bottle and a stamp with a production date	300
Bottle cap screwing device	150
Saturator (apparatus for the formation of gases in water)	300
Bottle Wrapping Machine in General PET Film for Shipping	400
Submersible pump for pumping water from a well into a tank	100
Accessories for underground water supply connecting the pump and the tank	500
Water tanks	300
Ozonator for disinfection and saturation of water with oxygen	150
Coarse and fine filters	250
Station for industrial water treatment	2 500
Total	6 million 150 thousand

This is the cost of equipping a well and a water production workshop with equipment. Additionally, funds will be required for cosmetic finishing, furnishing, and communications.

Investment information is preliminary. The cost of equipment, finishing materials, different services may differ, because the performers and suppliers have not yet been selected. But preliminary investments of more than 10 million rubles are needed to start the production of drinking water. Transportation costs for the movement of raw materials from the well to the plant, delivery of products to customers, funds for the operation of production until the first profit is not taken into account. Let's add 1.5 million rubles to these costs. The final estimate is 11.5 million rubles.

Personnel issue

The production needs employees who will work at the groundwater extraction site and at the plant. For the full operation of the complex you will need:

• Underground water extraction specialists - 2 people.
• Driver for transportation of raw materials and bottled water - 2 people.
• Equipment adjustment engineer - 2 people, shift work schedule.
• Operator for the water production line - 2 people. in shifts.
• Operator on the container blowing machine - 2 people. in shifts.
• Warehouse Manager finished products– 2 people in shifts.
• Sales manager - 1 person, working mode 5/2
• Dispatcher for receiving individual applications - 2 people. in shifts.
• Production manager - 1 person.
• Accountant with the functions of a personnel officer - 1 person.
• Handymen - 4 people.
• Cleaner of production and service areas - 2 people.

Perhaps, as the plant develops, it will be necessary to expand the staff. Payroll costs are reflected in the table:

Employee category	Quantity, pcs. units	S/P	TOTAL
Water extraction specialist	2	15000	30000
Driver	2	18000	36000
Engineer	2	20000	40000

Handyman	4	12000	48000
Cleaning woman	2	8000	16000
FZP	23	–	345000
Contributions	–	–	103500
General expenses			448500

The plant provides a shift work schedule for some employees. It's connected with daily work production in order to quickly reach the required profitability of the enterprise.

We plan the timing of preparations for the opening

So that the preparation process does not drag out, we will set a time frame for each stage and follow this plan:

It will take about 6 months for the shop to operate at full capacity. The dates may change due to unforeseen circumstances. It is desirable that water becomes available to the consumer in the summer season. At this time, the demand for bottled water increases due to the high air temperature and increased thirst. You can quickly make a profit and analyze the profitability of the business.

Range and prices for water

The production is young and has not yet found its client. Therefore, you should not open a line of a wide range of bottled water. The list of products and cost will be reflected in the table:

As the payback is reached, water for children and mineral water can be added to the assortment.

What will we get as a result

Let us calculate the possible profit that the production of water should bring to the entrepreneur. We will take as a basis the implementation of the entire range, provided that there will be a daily shipment of 2000 bottles of various volumes.

Product type	Quantity, pcs.	Price per one. rub.	Revenue per day, rub.
Drinking water, non-carbonated, volume 0.5 l	250	15	3750
Drinking water, non-carbonated, volume 1 l	250	20	5000
Drinking water, non-carbonated, volume 1.5 l	300	28	8400
Drinking water, non-carbonated, volume 5 l	250	80	20000
Drinking water, non-carbonated, volume 10 l	300	140	42000
Drinking water, carbonated, volume 0.5 l	100	18	1800
Drinking water, carbonated, volume 1 l	200	22	4400
Drinking water, carbonated, volume 1.5 l	200	32	6400
Drinking water, non-carbonated, volume 2 l	150	40	6000
TOTAL			97750

Provided that the daily revenue is 98,000 rubles and shipments are made at least 5 times a week, the monthly revenue is planned to be 1,960,000 rubles. Now you can calculate the profitability and net profit that will be received per month. Income and expenses will be reflected in the table:

At the initial stage, investments in the amount of 11.5 million rubles were made. The company will reach payback in 2.5 years. The term may change if the turnover for the month is higher than that taken as the basis for the calculation in the business plan.

Strengthening our position in the segment

There are many producers of drinking water on the market, so the struggle is going to be serious. You need to think over a strategy to consolidate your position in the market and attract an audience that is already buying bottled water. You will need the help of a specialist who knows the state of the niche and the position of other manufacturers. We will turn our attention to the production side in order to provide people with high-quality water.

At the initial stage, we focus on the delivery of water on an individual request in order to locals learned about our products. For this:

• Together with the supplier, we will launch a promotion designed for a large volume of delivery. For example, every 3rd bottle is a gift, or with a one-time payment for 10 bottles of water, a 10% discount on the entire volume.
• Conduct a water tasting in a supermarket so that consumers evaluate the quality and submit an application.
• Send out electronic and written messages about cooperation with enterprises, offices on favorable terms.
• Offer services to kindergartens, schools, universities at a reduced price for a one-time application of at least 5 bottles.
• Design a website where you can post information about your production and favorable terms of cooperation for retail and wholesale customers.

follow pricing policy competitors, so as not to get out of the general system by the too high cost of drinking water.

Eventually

It is possible to earn solid capital in the production of drinking water if there is finance for this, a good source of groundwater and an area for a workshop. Huge investments are required, because the process of purification of raw materials requires only a high-quality automated line. Do not be afraid of competition. Consumers usually prefer water from local producers, believing that it is unprofitable for a businessman to deceive his countrymen. But you should be prepared for frequent SES checks for the quality and composition of products so that there is no threat to the health of consumers.

With the current rise in propaganda healthy lifestyle of life is growing and the consumption of purified bottled water. And since the quality of tap water in Russia is far from ideal, many consumers today are willing to pay for a good product. And you can make good money on this trend if you open your own production of bottled drinking water. Drinking water is water that has gone through several stages of purification and filtration. The final product can be packed in different containers - plastic, glass.

Our business valuation:

Starting investments - from 2,000,000 rubles.

Market saturation is high.

The complexity of starting a business is 6/10.

The drinking water business is characterized by many advantages that make this niche attractive to many aspiring entrepreneurs:

• Drinking water, carbonated and non-carbonated, is in high demand.
• You can organize your own workshop literally in any region of our country, since there are no problems with the supply of "raw materials".
• This business is variable, which will allow the entrepreneur to choose the path of development that is more suitable in a particular case - given the available investments.
• With well-established distribution channels, even impressive investments pay off quickly enough.

But, as in the case with any other direction, there are also disadvantages that you should definitely take into account when drawing up a business plan for the production of drinking water:

Difficulties do not scare? Then you can open a plant for the production and bottling of drinking water.

It is better for a novice entrepreneur who starts a small workshop to buy a water bottling line, which is equipped with the following items of equipment:

• Incoming water purification system (aeration system and dosing of reagents).
• Filling machine.

Water bottling line

In addition to the main machines, it is possible to equip the line with a machine for the production of plastic bottles from special blanks. Over time, you can even buy a whole line that will process plastic waste into bottles. So you can save a lot on the purchase of the necessary raw materials.

The price of equipment for bottled drinking water, not taking into account additional machines, is at least 1,000,000 rubles. And most of the funds will go to the cleaning system. A supported line can be bought for 600,000 rubles.

Options for marketing finished products and the profitability of the planned business

The high price of the drinking water bottling line will begin to pay off when the channels for supplying finished products to customers are established. And there are 2 options:

• Organization of own water delivery service (this implies the production of water for coolers).
• Sales of finished products to retail outlets.

In the business plan being drawn up, the issue of further marketing of finished products must be resolved, since it affects both the purchase of additional equipment and the construction of a marketing policy.

Delivery of drinking water will require the presence of its own fleet of vehicles. Otherwise, even the profit will not cover the transportation costs. There is a real scope for activity here, since coolers are installed in every second office today. And in order to offer potential customers favorable terms of cooperation for them, you can provide coolers for free use. But this is also an additional cost.

Sell ​​finished products outlets can be more profitable than the production and transportation of drinking water to offices. But here it is important to establish a wholesale distribution.

As for the profit that an entrepreneur should count on, everything is strictly individual here - the main influence is exerted by the investments that the production and sale of drinking water will require. The minimum investment required for organizing a workshop (purchase of equipment and its commissioning + obtaining all permits and licenses + preparing the premises for work + purchasing containers) is 2,000,000 rubles. This amount will increase significantly if we start talking about drilling our own well or organizing a delivery service. You can calculate the expected profit based on what the cost of drinking water will be and how much it will be sold to customers every month. The price of bottled water fluctuates in the range of 100-180 rubles / 5 liters.

• 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: Net profit enterprises 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.

Bottled water is in consistently high demand. The business of extracting and selling it requires a fairly high initial investment, but the subsequent costs are relatively low. For the enterprise, it is necessary to build an artesian well, as well as purchase equipment for the preparation and bottling of water.

Many people prefer to buy bottled drinking water

Where to begin?

The business of bottling drinking water from a well requires preliminary preparation, which includes:

1. The study of aquifers of the soil. The depth of occurrence of artesian waters varies within 100-1000 m. The site for the object is selected based on the possible construction costs and logistics costs.
2. Drawing up a business plan. At this stage, the market capacity, preferences of potential buyers are studied, possible risks are calculated, the amount start-up capital And so on.
3. Official registration of the enterprise and obtaining permits.
4. Purchase and installation of equipment.
5. marketing campaign. The consumer must learn about the very existence of a new product on the market and its advantages over competing offerings.

Preliminary survey

Water production as a business is directly dependent on local environmental conditions. Preliminary studies begin with the study of maps of general geological exploration. Areas with the smallest depth of artesian waters are selected. At the same time, the structure of the soil should also ensure the minimum cost of construction work. So, if possible, territories with stony and marshy soils are excluded. It is necessary to select several sites at once, and then gradually narrow the list depending on:

• location of highways. Independent construction or modernization of access roads significantly increases the cost of implementing a business project;
• distance from populated areas. Delivery of finished products to consumers should take place along the shortest route. Finally, on my own service personnel it is difficult to get to a well located far from the place of residence and passenger transport routes;
• locations of other buildings. The selected site may be already occupied or it may not be possible to rent it;
• designated purpose earth.

Note: in accordance with the requirements of the legislation, each site must be used depending on its category and purpose. In this case, attention should be paid to industrial lands.

Next, you need to personally inspect each site in order to stop at the final version. Perhaps, in the process of searching, it will be possible to purchase a finished well. After agreement with the owner of the land, it is necessary to conduct exploratory drilling and make a preliminary analysis of the fluid.

Business planning

The business plan for the production of drinking water provides for an analysis of:

• promising areas of activity - office maintenance, sales of products through retail chains, work with budget institutions, for example, schools or hospitals, etc.;
• the local market - the presence of competitors, the shortcomings of their strategy, a potentially monopoly position in certain areas;
• goals, objectives, development strategy - an enterprise should gain a foothold only within the framework of a single locality, the entire region, there may be prospects for reaching international market(in particular, if a source with unique healing properties is being developed);
• the amount of start-up capital - it consists of the costs of registering an enterprise, construction works, purchase and installation of equipment, wages, rental payments up to the start of making a profit;
• indicative terms of self-sufficiency;
• potential risks - the probability of natural disasters, errors in initial planning, unexpected changes in the external environment (prohibition, restriction or change in the rules of certain types of activities, use of the site for federal projects, etc.) should be taken into account;
• exit strategies - if the enterprise fails, it is necessary to sell the existing equipment with minimal losses, and also provide for the possibility of returning borrowed funds.

Business registration

For small businesses, the preferred organizational and legal forms are:

• individual entrepreneurship (IP)- registration and liquidation require lower costs, but for emerging risks one has to respond with all personal property;
• limited liability company (LLC)- a more voluminous package of documents will be required (charter, minutes of the meeting or decision of the sole founder), registration and liquidation take more time.

However, for arising obligations, a company participant is liable only in the amount of a share in the authorized capital. Also, an enterprise can be organized by more than one person. Next you need:

• purchase or lease a suitable plot of land;
  obtain a license for the right to use subsoil;
• calculate the total volume of water consumed - this is within the authority of the Federal Agency for Water Resources;
• obtain the conclusion of Rospotrebnadzor that the operated land plot suitable for organizing a sanitary zone (it is a square with a side of 60 m, in some cases - 30 m);
• obtain an opinion on well design;
• order a well project;
• complete construction work;
• accept the well into operation, at this stage the members of the commission for state acceptance also check the quality of the fluid;
• put the well on state registration;
• organize a sanitary zone;
• conduct a state geological examination.

Note: these activities are costly and time consuming, so it is possible to purchase water from third party suppliers.

Equipment list

To organize a business for the sale of water, you will need the following equipment:

• well;
• metal well or caisson;
• pump;
• water treatment systems that correct the chemical and microbiological composition of the produced water;
• storage tank;
• device for pouring water into containers;
• installation for disinfection of containers.
