History of success: Plant pets from scratch

Sofia Bikbaev of Barnaul's childhood dreamed of her own business to be self-sustained and self-sufficient. Mom who worked in the greenhouse often took her with her when she was late or working weekends. She started training her daughter to keep her case secret. A teenage girl also helped her take care of plants.

Then there were summer workouts, and after school, there were orders and permanent customers that she first made out of clums. Then she developed the haircut of handicrafts, trees and started to develop her business in the suburbs of Barnaul, including in elite settlements. Secured customers advised her to open an IP, because it was convenient for many to pay the bill.

As the young entrepreneur evolved from simple care, she moved to planting decorative plants and started working with the agro-mother and husband, a landscape designer. Everything would be fine, but she's faced with a shortage of quality seedlings. Having studied the market, she found that most of the large plants originated from other regions and abroad.

However, for the Altai region, not everything is appropriate and their survival is rather low. And as for endemic majors, there was a problem. That was the idea of opening your own pet.

Perhaps her little business would remain an expanded version of a hobby with a little profit if Sofia had once failed to enter my business. And a truly turning point in its life, Sofia calls for participation in the ICP Enterprise Corporation programme. According to her, learning completely turned her mind.

For example, certified Speakers taught her to read the numbers. Plus, during her training, she found out how a young entrepreneur would attract money to his ideas.

Through competitive selection among the same young entrepreneurs, Sofia received a grant of 500,000 roubles to develop its case. It also became the finalist of the Business Packages and received an additional 150,000. It invested in the creation of a large-scale plant nursery.

So her saints gradually moved traditional potatoes, onions and carrots out of the mother's garden. The garage and the old sheds had to be removed under the greenhouse. But there was still a lack of space, so we decided to take a concessional loan for the purchase of land and the seeds. There'll be a large-scale pet.

In April, its project was evaluated at the federal level, and it won a Youth Entrepreneurship competition, Building NASE, organized by the Agency for Strategic Initiatives (ASI) and the SME Corporation. He was among the best bids in over 5,000. At the competition, she presented a special cough that increased the survival of the seeds and facilitated their care in the first years after the landing.

" I would like to organize large-scale production of large-scale urban greeners, a young entrepreneur has been divided into plans. - We prefer to be given to plants that are adapted to our climate. "

Sofia Bikbaeva ' s plans not only to further develop endemic crop endemic numerals and pay attention to his know-how, but also to participate in the greening of Barnaul's family, making their wives part of urban parks and alleys.
