Today all the seniors who conduct their business can be divided into two categories: early retirees, entrepreneurs and established. The first category includes those retired, businessmen who have begun to conduct business fairly recently, the second - who has already settled several years of business. According to the results of the study by the Centre for Entrepreneurship GEM proportion of retirees among the early entrepreneurs of not less than 8% of the early entrepreneurs of all ages. It is not surprising that so little: the old man's social activity decreases. But still, compared to the GEM data for 2007, the proportion of early stage entrepreneurs between the ages of 55 and 64 years was 2.2%. This suggests that retired people are trying not only to yourself to ensure a decent old age itself, but to show young people that they have no dependents. Approximately 20% of retirees established entrepreneurs. It is quite natural fact: lessons from the age of business experience, accumulated capital and established business relationships. Mature retirees entrepreneurs started to his work after the "stagnant" period, ie since the late 80's. A prerequisite for the emergence of small businesses served while Komsomol, household, industrial, and party associations and research centers. Small business in the period of its inception, carried an experimental character. Basically it was an activity temporarily formed creative teams and the scientific and technical centers. After the end of 80th years. The Council of Ministers in the protocol introduced the concept of "small business", this kind of activity got its legal existence. End 1980 - beginning 1990. was a fairly active period in small business. Appeared first cooperatives entrepreneurs, entrepreneurs formed alliances in trade, economy and science. Many believe that while today's retirees entrepreneurs engaged mainly in micro such as the sale of crops, shoe repair, or sale of related socks and sweaters. But this view is mistaken. The fact that farms in the middle of 80th years. covers 18% of the turnover of products, and farms around 2% - it's true. But few people since the beginning of 90th years. engaged in mediation. Originated advertising, while advertisers were the first banks and allocated large sums on advertising campaigns. In an advertising campaign involved people from 20 to 50 years, the main preference was for the elderly, as experienced in dealing with people (the main purpose of advertising - consumers may be interested). But the most popular form of mediation services at the time was trade. At the beginning of the 90th in the country had a huge shortages and mass unemployment, and in connection with the fall of the Iron Curtain, people began to engage in shuttle business. Shuttle business has helped to stand up to many people of different social groups: from students to the military. In this sphere of activity in each region spun at least 20% of the population and regions such as Vyborg, Far East and Kaliningrad - even up to 50% of the population. Someone went to Scandinavia, someone bought for $ 300-400 a ticket to the UAE, Turkey, China, Poland, Italy and even in India, to a large plaid bags to remove the goods from abroad: from the leather and finishing with building materials. While Customs is not regulated to any restrictions on imported goods and the number of flights. Cheat on any product went 2-3 and even 5 times. Luckiest people in the shuttle business for a year or two have done themselves a solid state, expanded sales network and acquire infrastructure. Today someone from becoming dependent retirees, lay on the couch and try to understand the meaning of life, eventually, slowly but surely fade away. But someone still conduct business in small shops, workshops, firms hire things or just rent out the property. But there are few cases where pensioners, businessmen trying to prove that they can set the heat to young entrepreneurs. So, for example, Sergei Podchaynov - a retired businessman. He has long been over 90. Academician of the State Prize winner, today he is CEO of "Pritsero-P". On retirement he went out in 73 years. At one place to sit around, he could not and began to study the useful properties of minerals, namely, zeolite and shungit. Based on the first of the mineral it produces dry perfume, deodorant smoke, antimolevy powder and air freshener for the refrigerator. On the basis of shungite, which has healing properties pain in the joints and restore impaired vascular function and muscle Podchaynov producing belt, knee pads, mats for the feet. Podchaynov was ready to transfer their design to investors, but there was no such business, so he had to do everything myself. He took off his rent in one of several rooms Institute and offered to cooperate to two of his friends, who, incidentally, is also retired. At all general funds, they bought minerals and materials for packaging. After implementation of the first batch Podchaynov with his companions hired 30 more retired to his company, who worked at home. Sergei Podchaynov always leads an active lifestyle: he works for 8 hours, expands the range of business communication, and on weekends invents a new product. All retirees, dependents, he regularly recalls: "By lying stone gathers no moss!". Another interesting fact lies in the city of Rostov. This is the pride among all entrepreneurs - a pensioner Alexander Seleznev. In 1998 it was 70 years old, and to help her grandson go to college Surikov, she sold an apartment for $ 10000. After Alexander Seleznev paid training grandson in Moscow, she left money to register as individual entrepreneurs and opened a second-hand. It is hard to go into details of business, arguing with the inspectors, and finally after 6 years already owned retail chain "Let's Become Friends", which included five stores and three warehouses. Following the recent crisis of Moscow pensioners entrepreneurs rather famously twisted. Taking all of their financial situation, they turned into a navigation service. Visitors in Moscow lot, plus a lot of people ill-versed in the cards. And in order not to lose time searching for an address, Moscow's old-timers began to give paid services, and for a ridiculous price - 10 USD. 10 rubles could be obtained from such a referral service as much detail as how to get to points of interest with all the twists.
