In Russia, proposals for investment in existing projects and the purchase of finished business are growing

The number of proposals for finished business increased by a quarter

According to Avito Analytics, in the second quarter of 2019, the number of offers for the sale of finished business in Russia increased by 27% compared to the same period last year. The most popular destinations for sale finished business: offline and online shops, catering establishments, hotel and entertainment business.

At the same time, the number of purchase requests increased by only 6%, and the interest of investors lies in a slightly different plane: it, agriculture and high-tech production. Naturally, in this situation, sellers are ready to reduce the price of their assets by 6-8% (or an average of RUB 3.05 million), so that the business which is boring or doesn’t fit into their future plans, receives an impulse to develop in the hands of the new owner.

What kind of business investors are ready to support

The most promising areas where investors are willing to invest "hard-earned money" are agriculture and food industry, innovative projects in medicine, processing of natural resources and it technology. Thus, according to experts, due to the intensive financial support, the Russian market of digital medicine will grow to RUB 90 billion by 2023. And against the background of foreign economic sanctions, the investment attractiveness of the main areas of agriculture by 2024 is planned to be doubled.

At the same time, financial and profitable projects are found in various areas of the economy: construction, light, heavy and petrochemical industries, energy, etc.

Where to find investors

But even the breakthrough fast-payback project is not always able to "make his way". Meeting an entrepreneur and an interested investor offline is a rarity, something of a happy coincidence. But such a "business meeting" is a common thing in the online space, where geographical boundaries are erased, and the search in the catalog is carried out in a few clicks.

Also, with the help of basic and additional options, you can increase the attractiveness of the project: order an Express analysis, make a clear business plan, order priority placement, etc.
