In Russia, the chocolate market is developing rapidly. From 2013 to 2019, chocolate consumption increased from 6 to 8 kg per person per year. Despite the trends towards proper nutrition and a healthy lifestyle, people continue to buy sweets and candies: for themselves and their families, as holiday gifts. The chocolate production business pays for itself in a matter of months and brings stable profits to the owners.

Chocolate making business ideas

There are two models of organizing the technological process: home or industrial production chocolate.

By choosing the first option, you can start a business at home in the kitchen, investing a minimum of money in equipment. But it will not be possible to officially register such a business, so the responsibility for working without registering with the Federal Tax Service and paying taxes will fall on you.

In the second case, you will have to comply with the requirements of inspection authorities, rent and prepare a workshop, hire employees and establish a stream production of chocolate products.

Making handmade chocolate

“Chocolate boutique” is a concept that came to Russia in 2016. The boutique sells elite chocolate self made, made according to home recipes. The owners of such establishments rely on the uniqueness of their products, inferior to large workshops in production volumes.

The assortment of the chocolate boutique includes:

• dark, white and milk chocolate bars;
• chocolate with fruit and berry fillings;
• truffles;
• candies with non-standard fillings;
• gift sets from different types chocolate.

Customers can order personalized sets, chocolate fountains and even engraved chocolates.

The fashionable trend of gourmet boutiques is the combination of incompatible tastes. Luxury chocolate manufacturers offer ginger, chili peppers, candied fruits and even bacon as fillings. They sell flavored candies exclusively in original packaging.

Handmade chocolate is a delight for gourmets, so it will always find its buyer

Making fruits in chocolate

Strawberries, apples and bananas are popular fruits all year round. In combination with chocolate they form a unique delicacy. The advantage of the chocolate-covered fruit business is minimal competition on the Russian market. The disadvantage is the pronounced seasonality. In winter, the cost of fruit increases, and consumer demand decreases.

A possible way out of the situation is to rent space in the city shopping center to work even in the cold season, in a place with maximum traffic. Advertising can focus on the vitamin content of products.

There is nothing tastier than chocolate-covered fruit: neither children nor adults can resist this delicacy.

Making chocolate figures

The technology for making chocolate figurines is simple - hot chocolate is poured into molds, then cooled until hardened and the halves are removed. The edges of each are carefully heated and glued together. Figures are used to decorate cakes and pastries and are given as gifts for children and adults on holidays.

To prepare a chocolate butterfly or openwork lace you need:

• melted chocolate;
• glass bowl for heating;
• silicone molds.

Instead of molds, you can use any objects: cups, shot glasses, spoons, paper sheets and others. By combining different types of chocolate and adding food coloring, confectioners give the figures a unique design. Show your imagination and an unprecedented result will not keep you waiting.

Chocolate figurines are ordered to decorate wedding and anniversary cakes

Where to start: business registration

Chocolate production refers to food industry, so be prepared for numerous inspections by the SES and Rospotrebnadzor. Register your business before starting work by choosing one of the forms - LLC or Individual Entrepreneur.

Advantages of being an individual entrepreneur:

• registration 5 working days in advance;
• minimum state duty when registering a business;
• minimum documents.

The main disadvantage of an individual entrepreneur is liability to creditors with all property. If you own an apartment and have accumulated debts in your business, be prepared for the property to be put up for sale.

Pros of opening an LLC:

• financial responsibility within the authorized capital;
• a participant in a legal entity can leave it by alienating the company’s share;
• the company can be sold or donated if necessary;
• in case of suspension of activities, the organization does not transfer contributions to pension and insurance funds.

Disadvantages of LLC - a complex registration procedure and the need to deposit authorized capital from 10 thousand rubles, as well as a state duty of 4 thousand rubles. for registration of a company.

When registering, select a tax system that is comfortable for you. Small businesses should consider a simplified regime (STS 6 or 15%). When planning to open a large-scale production facility, think about UTII (flat tax on imputed income). The amount and procedure for paying taxes depends on the chosen system.

Table: comparison of tax regimes

Tax regime	Limits
	Revenue	Average number of employees	Average annual cost of funds	Type of activity	Capital structure
BASIC	No restrictions
Unified agricultural tax	No restrictions	No restrictions	No restrictions	Agriculture	No restrictions
UTII	No restrictions	100 people	No restrictions		The share of participation of other organizations is no more than 25%
USNO 6%	60 million rub.		100 million rub.	Except for some activities
simplified taxation system 15%
PSN	60 million rub.	15 people	No restrictions	There is a list of activities	Only for individual entrepreneurs

Get permits in Rospotrebnadzor and Pozhnadzor, as well as the conclusion of the SES on the possibility of starting work. Get a health certificate, even if you make candy in minimal quantities.

Organization of home chocolate production

An exclusive home confectionery can compete with large industries thanks to the quality of products, the use of natural ingredients and proven chocolate recipes. When working independently, pay close attention to the quality of the product. Experiment with combinations of flavors and offer customers a variety of products. The disadvantage of doing business at home is the inability to officially register the company. This is due to the fact that the kitchen area must be removed from the housing stock in order to organize food production in it. In this case, you take on all the risks associated with unofficial entrepreneurship.

Recipe and manufacturing technology

Follow the recipe and process when making chocolate - the taste and shelf life of the finished product depend on this.

The simplest chocolate recipe at home:

1. Mix 5 tbsp. spoons of cocoa, 7 tbsp. spoons of sugar and 150 ml of milk in a bowl. Bring the mixture to a boil over low heat, stirring continuously.
2. Gradually add 1 teaspoon of flour and 50 g of butter. Continue stirring the mixture until smooth.
3. Pour hot chocolate into molds, after pouring the filling into it (wafer crumbs, nuts, raisins).

When choosing chocolate, customers first of all pay attention to appearance and taste

Once the chocolate has cooled, it is ready to eat. Homemade sweets can be stored for 2–6 months at temperatures up to 17 degrees. Transporting chocolate is only permitted in vehicles equipped with cooling systems.

The weight of the candy should not exceed 3–6 g so that the client can put it whole in his mouth and taste it without biting.

Premises requirements

Technical conditions for chocolate production are determined by GOST 31721–2012. In the document you will find information on the quantity of ingredients for the manufacture of different types of cocoa-based products, as well as requirements for equipment and workshop. Despite the lack of registration and inspections, try to comply with the maximum requirements of the standard. The room must be ventilated, with artificial temperature conditions and low humidity levels. The optimal temperature for storing chocolate is up to 17 degrees.

Purchase of equipment and raw materials

• chocolate mass or cocoa;
• cocoa butter;
• sugar;
• vanilla;
• emulsifiers;
• milk or cream.

Buy quality ingredients. To save money, replacing cocoa butter with palm oil and cocoa with carob, you risk the taste of the future chocolate.

At home, use a coffee grinder to grind cocoa beans into powder.

As your business develops, start purchasing professional equipment:

• high power juicer for cocoa butter;
• grinding machine to remove excess moisture;
• tempera for quick crystallization of chocolate;
• various shapes and stencils.

The cost of a home kit for the production of elite sweets does not exceed 150 thousand rubles.

Sales and advertising company

At first, sell candies directly to customers. To do this, create groups in social networks, take attractive product photos and post advertisements. Invite friends and acquaintances to groups, set up targeted advertising for members of competing groups.

When you develop your business and open a kitchen outside your home, having received permission from the SES, negotiate with retail chains and coffee shops that do not have a kitchen, and supply candies for sale. The main thing is to comply with the conditions of delivery and storage of goods.

Financial calculations

Home production does not require special expenses and pays off within a few months.

Table: costs of starting a business

Table: systematic costs

Planned income

The cost of one bar of exclusive handmade chocolate is 200 rubles, the cost of its production is 25–35 rubles, depending on the filling. On average, you can sell 200 tiles per month, the final income is 40 thousand rubles. Net profit per month - 15 thousand rubles, payback period home business- 5 months.

Business plan for producing chocolate on an industrial scale

Industrial production is different from home production. You will not be able to cope with the volume of production alone; you will need to involve employees. Equipment for full-fledged workshop it costs tens of times more, and the manufacturing technology is more complicated than homemade.

First of all, hire a technologist for your enterprise. He will be responsible for the process of making chocolate and working on recipes. Purchase raw materials only after working out each recipe.

To obtain chocolate, cocoa beans are roasted, ground and mixed with the remaining ingredients in a conche machine, and then cooled and formed into bars.

The process of making chocolate in the workshop is automated and includes the following steps:

• dosing of components;
• initial mixing;
• mixing in a conche machine for up to 3 days;
• heating the chocolate mass to 50 degrees;
• pouring into molds;
• cooling to 33 degrees and holding for 40 minutes;

The production of different types of chocolate differs in the initial set of ingredients and technology adjustments. To prepare aerated chocolate, it is enough to add air when loading the raw materials for conching, but for bitter chocolate you will have to use more cocoa powder.

Selecting a room

To organize a chocolate workshop, a room with an area of ​​60 square meters is sufficient. m. Requirements for the workshop:

• is not part of the housing stock;
• equipped with ventilation;
• there are sinks with cold and hot water;
• the walls are tiled up to 1.5 m from the floor;
• the rest of the walls are painted.

To make bars and candies perfectly even, buy a molding machine for your workshop

Indoors, equip a space for storing products with optimal temperature, as well as an office and a workshop with equipment.

Purchase of equipment

The cost of purchasing equipment ranges from 1 to 10 million rubles. Industrial equipment for a chocolate shop:

• ball mill for mixing ingredients;
• boiler for melting butter;
• conche mixing machine;
• refrigeration equipment;
• tempera for crystallization of chocolate.

In conche machines, the chocolate mass is kept with constant stirring for 24–72 hours

Auxiliary equipment:

• conveyors;
• ventilation system;
• thermostats;
• planetary pumps;
• hoods;
• molding equipment;
• packaging unit;
• printing press for making wrappers.

Purchase of raw materials

Chocolate is made from cocoa beans, which can be purchased in Africa, Australia, and Asia. There are three types of beans suitable for chocolate production:

• “Creole” - selected premium beans;
• "Stranger" - average quality;
• "Pumpkin" - low-grade beans.

Cocoa beans go through three stages before turning into powder:

• frying at a temperature of 150 degrees;
• separation of liquid and husk;
• grinding into powder.

In addition to the powder, purchase cocoa butter, sugar and milk, as well as ingredients for fillings if you plan to make candies.

Don’t skimp on ingredients: the more natural ingredients, the higher the quality of the chocolate.

Recruitment

Composition of employees:

• control;
• accountant;
• technologist;
• confectioners;
• driver;
• cleaner.

Enter into non-disclosure agreements with your employees regarding the company’s recipes.

Formation of assortment

Large confectionery factories use a similar recipe, and their production volumes do not allow them to produce exclusive chocolate in small batches. In a small workshop you can make chocolate according to original recipes, varying the composition of ingredients and filling.

Together with the technologist, evaluate production capabilities and calculate the expected production volumes. Develop your own technical specifications. Based on the planned purchases of raw materials, create a menu. Complete them and post them on the company website or in a group on social networks.

A high-end chocolate boutique's selection typically includes handmade chocolates and cakes, as well as beautifully packaged gift sets.

Possible distribution channels and advertising

Table: opening costs

Table: regular costs

Expected income

The cost of one chocolate bar is 100 rubles, the cost of its production is 20–35 rubles. On average, only after retail chains in a month you can sell 5200 tiles, the final income is 520 thousand rubles. Net profit per month is 260 thousand rubles, the payback period for a home business is 2 years.

Business profitability reaches 200% even when using natural ingredients. If you replace cocoa powder and cocoa butter with cheap analogues, it will increase by another 1.5 times.

Franchise or own brand

• proven production technology;
• opportunity to buy equipment at a discount/leasing;
• consulting assistance;

Disadvantages of franchising:

• the need to pay the franchise seller a monthly fee - royalty;
• high cost of business;
• excessive demands on the incoming partner;
• the need to comply with the franchisor's conditions.

A franchise buyer always runs the risk of running into an unscrupulous company that, instead of existing mechanisms efficient work gives only a couple of instructions on how to run a business.

The Konfael franchise allows you to ensure stable turnover and gives you the opportunity to get more high profitability compared to a business created from scratch

Newbie mistakes

Beginners in chocolate business often make mistakes. The key problem is underestimating consumer demands. Manufacturers in small towns are especially guilty of this. They rely on the uniqueness of the product, without paying attention to consumer qualities. As a result, the client receives an exclusive candy in expensive packaging, but it tastes obscene. Naturally, the client does not come again. In general, in provincial cities, people place inflated demands on the quality of food products, compliance with which is key task entrepreneur.

Advantages of this business:

Small investment
Fast payback
High profit
Opportunity to combine business with main job
“Tasty” and interesting business that does not require special preparation and knowledge

What investments does this business require?
To start making money on rent, it will be enough to purchase several chocolate fountains, a fountain for drinks, and the main consumables- "fountain" chocolate.

Let's calculate in more detail:

Initial investment for the purchase of equipment
One Professional chocolate fountain (80cm) – 24,850 rubles.
One Professional chocolate fountain (60cm) – 19,250 rubles.
One fountain for drinks – 3200 rubles.

Total: 47,300 rubles

Income:
We rent. (approximate prices used)
Professional chocolate fountain 80 cm – 9000 rubles.
Professional chocolate fountain 60 cm - 7000 rubles.
Drink fountain – 2000 rubles.

Total for one event (2-3 hours of rental): 18,000 rubles.

Consumption:
Special chocolate for fountains. (Quality Belgian chocolate Barry Callebaut)
For a fountain 80cm. ~ 6kg - 3600 rubles.
For a fountain 60cm. ~ 4kg – 2400 rubles.

Total: 6000 rubles.

18000-6000=12,000 rubles for 2-3 hours of renting your equipment.

It is enough to rent out the equipment four times for it to recoup the entire investment.
12,000 rubles*4 = 48,000 rubles (let me remind you that the purchase of 2 professional chocolate fountains and one drink fountain will cost 47,300 rubles)

Let's calculate monthly profit.

Of course, it all depends on you and how often you rent out the equipment.
BUT if you rent at least 4 times a week (on weekends), because weddings and other celebrations are usually held on these days, then the net profit per month will be (4 * 12,000) 48,000 rubles.
Agree, not bad, considering that in this case, your task will only be to provide
equipment for the event, and pick it up in a couple of hours.

It will also bring you profit additional services, such as providing fruits, marshmallows, buns, drinks for the fountain, maintenance of fountains during the event and other consumables: skewers, napkins, dishes, etc. You can either make a separate price list for these services or include them initially in the rental price.
