One of the options for a mini-business with little investment is a point for the sale of cotton candy. To start, you will need about 34 thousand rubles. Monthly income from one small point can be 120-150 thousand rubles. You can formalize a business by registering an individual entrepreneur on the simplified tax system of 6% or registering as a self-employed person. The key to successful sales is the right choice of location for the outlet: children's entertainment centers, amusement parks, etc.
The sale of cotton candy is considered seasonal business and not particularly serious in terms of income. However, this is not so: the right choice of a place for a retail outlet can provide a year-round flow of customers and a stable income for its owner. The advantages of this type of business are:
- product recognition;
- the minimum amount of cash investments;
- simplicity of the technological process;
- lack of requirements for qualification of personnel;
- point of sale mobility;
- fast payback.
Features of the cotton candy business
Cotton candy is a unique product from a business point of view that attracts buyers of different age categories, requires little investment, and points of sale are mobile and can move along with the flow potential buyers.
The main consumers of the sweet product are, of course, children. However, with the appropriate presentation and design, it is easy to attract romantic youth. Therefore, it is quite realistic to cover the age group from 2 to 20 years.
As a rule, points of sale of this product are compact, mobile, do not require complex installation, and equipment for the production of cotton candy is inexpensive.
Such a business in the form of a separate point of sale is unlikely to bring large profits. But cotton wool as a related product, if the point is located in the nursery entertainment center or an amusement park, will allow you to recoup your investment very quickly. The main task of the entrepreneur is to find a cluster of potential buyers.
But stationary points are not the only option where you can earn money. Mobile carts can be rolled out into the street, set up in a city park, rented out to children's social events and private birthdays, and hosted master classes in its manufacture. It is also possible to manufacture the product and deliver it in packaged form to retail outlets.
One of the advantages of this type of activity is the absence of the need for hired workers - it is quite possible for one person to serve the point.
It is interesting: The average cost of a cotton candy making workshop at private children's birthday parties in Moscow is 15,000-25,000 rubles. for a two hour event.
What is required for the official registration of a sweet business
As in any type of business, you should start by registering an individual entrepreneur or registering as a self-employed person and registering with the tax service.
The choice between sole proprietorship and self-employment depends on whether the entrepreneur is going to scale the business in the future. If you plan to open more than one outlet and hire sellers, then you should immediately draw up an IP. The most optimal tax regime for individual entrepreneurs will be. In addition, you will also have to pay insurance premiums.
For information: for 2019, the minimum amount of insurance premiums that.
If you choose the NAP (self-employed) regime, the tax will be 4%, while no additional contributions will be required to be paid. However, the annual income is limited to the amount of 2.4 million rubles, and it is forbidden to use the services of hired workers. Of the benefits - the absence of requirements for reporting, all reports are submitted using mobile application"My tax". But in 2019, only residents of Moscow, the Moscow and Kaluga regions, and the Republic of Tatarstan can use this regime.
When opening an individual entrepreneur in order to engage in the manufacture of cotton candy, you can choose the following OKVED codes:
You will also need the following documents:
- permission to trade (if the sale will be carried out outside city parks);
- medical book for the seller;
- lease contract retail space;
- garbage collection agreement
- permission to connect to the power grid;
- certificate of conformity for the apparatus for the production of cotton wool;
- conclusion of the SES on the compliance of products with safety standards;
- certificates for raw materials and consumables (sugar and sticks).
What expenses need to be considered
The amount of initial investment will depend on whether a stationary or mobile point is planned to be opened. However, when deciding to open a point for the sale of cotton wool, the following costs must be taken into account:
| Name | Quantity | average cost |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| 14,000-70,000 rubles |
|||
| mobile trolley | 5,000-42,000 rubles |
||
| Sun protection umbrella | |||
| Protective dome for the device | 4,500-7,000 rubles |
||
| Electric generator | |||
| Beet or cane sugar | 15-20 grams for 1 serving | 36-38 rub. for 1 kg. |
|
| Plastic or wooden winding sticks | 1 PC. per serving | 700-1 500 rub. for 1,000 pcs. |
|
| Food colorings in assortment | 450 grams per 50 kg. Sahara | 1 250 rub. per package 450 gr. |
|
| Uniform for the seller-realizer (headdress, armlets, apron, gloves) | 2 sets (replaceable) | ||
| Bottled water for soaking sticks | 5 l. in a day | 100 rub. for 5 liter bottle |
When choosing devices, preference should be given to devices of Russian or American production. They are distinguished by higher performance and reliability, in comparison with Chinese counterparts. However, their cost is higher.
You should also decide on the type of construction: devices with horizontal sugar supply are inexpensive, but they allow only standard “classic” winding of cotton wool. Advanced machines with vertical sugar supply allow the production of figured and multi-colored cotton wool.

How much money do you need to start
Let's calculate what minimum investment will be required to open the simplest outlet: one mobile cart, which will be serviced by the owner of the mini-business, who has taken shape as a self-employed person.
The production of one serving of goodies will cost the following amount:
38 rubles / 1000 gr * 20 gr = 0.76 rubles (sugar)
1 250 rub./50 kg./1000 gr. * 20 gr = 0.5 rub. (dye)
1,500 rubles/1000 pcs. = 1.5 rubles. (winding stick)
In total, 1 serving of cotton wool will cost the manufacturer: 0.76 + 0.5 + 1.5 = 2.76 rubles.
If it is assumed that the patency of the future outlet will allow selling 30 servings daily, then to start the business at the first stage, the following minimum investment will be required for the first month of operation:
| Name | Quantity | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Apparatus for the production of the product | |||
| mobile trolley | |||
| Sun protection umbrella | |||
| Protective dome for the device | |||
| Cost of producing 1 serving of treats | RUB 2.76 * 30 pcs. * 30 days | ||
| A uniform | 1 set | ||
| bottled water | 5 liters per day * 30 days | ||
| Compensation for electricity costs | 1 kWh * 8 hours a day * 30 days * 5.47 rubles. | ||
| Total to start: |
In total, about 34,000 rubles will be required to start, of which 25,500 rubles for equipment. Because the machine for the production of cotton wool is powered by the mains, you must either agree with the nearest shops and kiosks about using their network, or purchase your own generator.
Also, the 4% tax is not included in the expenses for the first month. However, one should not forget about the self-employed one-time deduction of 10,000 rubles. Those. with revenue up to 90,000 rubles. per month for about 3 months (90,000 * 4% = 3,600 rubles) it will be possible to avoid paying tax. In the future, this amount should be taken into account when planning your monthly expenses.
If a future entrepreneur has the means, you can buy a franchise of an already well-known brand for the production of delicacies. As a rule, these are franchises for the production of figurines of recognizable cartoon characters that are in high demand among the children's audience.
For reference: the average cost of a figurine is about 7 rubles. at a selling price of 150-200 rubles.
How much can you earn on cotton candy and how quickly the investment will pay off
Cotton sales largely depend on the season and the day of the week. For stationary points located indoors (for example, shopping centers), summer is not the season. The decline in attendance directly affects the daily revenue. However, for mobile carts that can be taken outside, to playgrounds or to the park, the summer season is, on the contrary, a favorable time.
The average cost of a serving of goodies is 100 rubles. Consider how much monthly income one mobile cart, which the owner maintains on his own, can bring.
If daily sales amount to 30 portions, monthly from one point you can earn:
100 rub. * 30 pcs. * 30 days = 90,000 rubles.
On weekends, in comparison with weekdays, revenue can increase by 3-8 times. So, if on average on a weekday a point brings 2-3 thousand rubles, then on a weekend you can earn 7-15 thousand rubles. On average, the total revenue of one outlet is about 120-150 thousand rubles. monthly.
Consider how long it will take to pay off the costs of opening one mobile point from the example above.

|---|---|---|
| Annual revenue from sales of 30 servings per day | 90 000 rub. * 12 months \u003d 1,080,000 rubles. |
|
| Place rental | 10 000 rub. * 12 months \u003d 120,000 rubles. |
|
| 2.76 * 30 * 30 * 12 \u003d 29,808 rubles. |

| Other expenses (uniform, water, electricity) | 1,500 + (3,000 * 12) + (1,313 * 12) = 53,256 rubles. |
|
| Depreciation of equipment (based on 3 years of service) | 25,500 / 3 = 8,500 rubles |
|
| Profit before tax | 1,080,000 - 120,000 - 29,808 - 53,256 - 8,500 = 868,436 rubles. |
|
| Tax 4% (VAT regime) | 868,436 * 4% = 34,737 rubles. |
|
| Net profit for the year | 868,436 ‒ 34,737 = 833,699 rubles |
Thus, a monthly point is able to bring an entrepreneur up to 70,000 rubles. net profit (833,699 / 12 \u003d 69,475 rubles) with an initial investment in equipment of 25,500 rubles. Under favorable conditions, investments will pay off in the first month.
If it doesn’t work out at first due to low demand, you need to attract buyers with the help of advertising:
- cooperation with organizations involved in children's holidays;
- advertising in social networks services for conducting master classes at birthdays;
- contextual advertising in the Internet.

The very first machine for creating this delicious product in the CIS countries was produced by the Belarusian company Torgmash. It was her Focus machine. Despite the fact that it was created a long time ago, even today it is considered one of the most popular and high-quality.
It has a white catcher made of durable aluminum with a diameter of about 66 cm. The main feature of this unit is the fact that here sugar is heated not on a spiral, but on a special ring heating element. Thus, the device is reliable. In addition, there are also comfortable handles, an electronic tuning regulator, a protection system, and latches.
If you trust foreign technology more, then you should pay attention to the products of Gold Metal. It is characterized by high strength, reliability, good performance. Also of particular popularity is the Econo Floss model, which is small in size, but at the same time has a fairly high performance. It is capable of processing from 3.6 to 4.5 kg of sugar per hour, which is considered a fairly good indicator. The price of such a device is from 35 thousand rubles, which is an economical option.
Want to get even better performance? Then you should buy the Tornado model. It is manufactured in the USA. With it, you can cook from 5.4 to 8.5 kg of cotton candy per hour. This device in Russia costs about 100 thousand rubles and is considered one of the most expensive.
Could you imagine that cotton candy can be designed not only as a shapeless white cloud wound around a stick, but also in the form of colored three-dimensional figurines of animals and cartoon characters?
Such a delicacy in the eyes of children is much more interesting. It was these figurines that Sergei Dokhov began to create and made it his business. Today he has 3 points of his own in Moscow and 9 points in Russia, opened under a franchise.
(photo from the company's Instagram -)
It all started with the fact that Sergei on one of the Youtube videos saw a Chinese man creating colorful bouquets of cotton candy in front of passers-by. A whole crowd gathered around him - because it is unusual and interesting.
And Sergey began to look for where to buy such an apparatus so that he could create such voluminous figures. He did not find a ready-made apparatus, he bought a regular one, but modified it by 70 percent from different parts.
Then he developed a version of the cart for selling his figurines made of cotton candy - so that it was bright and noticeable.
Sergey Dokhov called his company “Cotton Candy No. 1” (her website is)
And Sergey and his partner opened their first point for the sale of cotton candy in the winter of 2017 in a Moscow shopping center (at first they themselves stood at the counter).
On the first day of work, the point brought in an income of 10 thousand rubles.
At the same time, a woman approached them and asked for the contacts of business leaders to find out about the possibility of acquiring a franchise.
So the guys thought about scaling the business.
Over time, they opened two more points of their own. We developed our own franchise and began to offer it to aspiring entrepreneurs. In 2017, the franchise was sold to 9 cities.
Then they opened the production of their machines for the production of cotton candy in China. So they have no problems with the supply of equipment now.
The cost of production of one cotton candy figurine is very low - about 7 rubles. They sell it in Moscow for 300 rubles, in the regions - 200-250 rubles.
On average, one point per month brings 144 thousand rubles in revenue. Payback - 3 months.
The franchisee will have to spend 300 thousand rubles on the purchase of a franchise and equipment. This amount includes the cotton candy machine, trolley, production materials for 3 months, training and support.
The company does not take royalties.
By the way, you can earn money not only by selling figured cotton candy in shopping centers and on the street. Cotton Candy No. 1 takes part in various festive events (birthdays, parties, corporate parties). She comes to the event with her equipment and for 15-25 thousand rubles she makes custom-made sugar figurines for everyone (without restrictions).

WHAT IS THE ARTICLE ABOUT?
Where did she come from?
It is believed that cotton candy appeared in the 15th century. The ancient Romans had specially trained people who prepared this delicacy for various holidays. But in this case, this technology is one of the lost ones, since new mentions of cotton candy only date back to the 18th century. In Europe, there were mechanical machines that prepared a delicacy similar to modern cotton candy. But the cooking process was very time consuming.
Cotton candy is a delicacy made from fine fibers of sugar or sugar syrup wound on a thin base. Therefore, cotton candy is so airy and voluminous. Technological process will be discussed below.
Composition and production process
In order to prepare cotton candy, you need the following raw materials:
- Sugar
- Vinegar
- Water
- Dyes
The production process begins with the melting of sugar in a special machine. Then water is supplied with a very small concentration of vinegar. Thus, sugar syrup is prepared. Optionally, dyes and preservatives are added to it.
The prepared raw materials are fed to a centrifuge, which spins the syrup and feeds drops of it under pressure through the smallest holes. Flying out, the drops begin to cool and solidify. At this moment, they are wound onto the base in the form of a thin stick, which makes it possible to form long and thin fibers from the hardening syrup. The fibers are wound on each other to the desired volume of the product and the process ends. The product is then packed in a special machine.
Devices and their cost
It is believed that the first cotton candy maker was invented in 1987 by William Morrison and John Wharton. They presented to the public an apparatus that prepared a new delicacy in automatic mode. This device consisted of:
- A gas burner that melted sugar
- Syrup mesh centrifuges
- An air compressor that distributed the fibers to the warp and formed the cotton candy
The device discussed above was mechanical, but progress did not stand still. Already in 1903, an electric cotton candy machine was invented, and the industry received a big boost in development.
The range of modern devices for cotton candy is very wide. Consider the most popular of them.
| Name | Description | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Gold Medal - Econo Floss | Its height is 40 centimeters and its diameter is 65. It has a small weight - only seventeen kilograms, which makes it great for beginners. In terms of electricity consumption, it is comparable to a kettle and is powered by a conventional 220 volt network. For an hour of work, you can wind up about two hundred portions of 15 grams, and these are medium-sized balls. | 35-39 thousand rubles. |
| Gold Medal - Tornado | The second device is called TORNADO, and is also produced by GOLD MEDAL. It is much more productive and larger than the first model. It is 85 by 60 centimeters, and its height is sixty-five centimeters. The weight is 35 kg. Productivity keeps at the level of 600 portions of the average size (15 grams) an hour. The cost in the Russian market is about 60 thousand rubles. | 60 thousand rubles |
For street trading there is also great amount domestic devices. They are characterized by a small capacity of 60-80 portions per hour. You can buy them in the region of 10 thousand rubles.
DIY cotton candy
At home, you can cook cotton candy both on the machine and without it. You can buy a special cotton candy machine, which will cost about 1,500 rubles, or make it yourself.
Algorithm for making a homemade cotton candy machine:
- Prepare metal lids from baby food or make blanks similar in size.
- Use a file or sandpaper to remove the protective coating and paint. They should not get into the cotton when used.
- In one of the lids, make a large hole for falling asleep sugar, and in the other many small ones for serving the finished syrup.
- Connect the covers together with wire or in another way so that there is a space of 5 centimeters between them.
- Attach a motor from a mixer or hair dryer to a rigid base, and then to a lid with small holes. Connect the battery to the crown.
- Cover the space around the lids with cardboard.
- The device is ready! Now you can add sugar and collect the melted syrup from the walls.
There is not always a desire to do homemade products, but there is a desire to cook cotton candy at home. You can try to make it without a typewriter:
- Mix sugar and water in a ratio of 3 to 1.
- Add 3 drops of 6% vinegar (may need up to 7 drops if cotton won't come out)
- Prepare sugar syrup on the stove. Make sure it doesn't burn.
- Then you need to cool the syrup to 35 degrees. Make sure it doesn't freeze.
- It is necessary to heat and cool the syrup about 6-7 times until it becomes homogeneous and viscous.
- After the syrup is ready, you need to create threads from it. To do this, take a lot of thin sticks and wind the syrup between them in different directions until you get the right amount.
During the summer holidays, cotton candy is in great demand: both children and adults love it. And if for children the process of making cotton candy is just entertainment, then some adults are seriously considering opening such a business.
To start selling cotton candy, you need to think through every detail. The main questions that need to be addressed at the initial stage are:
- Acquisition of the necessary equipment.
- Search for a suitable place where the outlet will be installed.

Production and sale of cotton candy as a business - tips and tricks in this video:
Choosing a location for a retail outlet
Beginning entrepreneurs need to take into account that 99% of the profit from the product being sold depends on exactly where the outlet is located.
To sell cotton candy, you need to choose places where there is a continuous flow of people. Ideal options for this would be:
- Park recreation area.
- City Beach.
- Exhibition.
- Circus or zoo premises.
- Buffet.
- City amusement park.
Another ideal place is a moving amusement park with attractions. As a rule, when arriving in a certain city, such parks stay in it for about two weeks.
To be able to sell a large amount of cotton candy during their stay in your city, you will need to agree in advance with the management of the amusement park. This will allow you to get much more profit than while trading in an ordinary city park.
Such agreements are beneficial not only to entrepreneurs who sell their products on the territory of amusement parks, but also to their management. Many kids are attracted to the park not only by an interesting attraction, but also by your cotton candy.
Thus, the presence on the territory where the attractions are held, various goodies, makes the attractions themselves more in demand.
Equipment location requirements
The device for the production of air wool can be placed both on the street and in any room. In the latter case, it must be taken into account that the humidity in the room should not be too high - this can lead to sticking of cotton wool and loss of its presentation.
In the absence of access to point of sale electricity should take care of buying a generator. It will also not be superfluous to purchase a protective dome that prevents dust from entering the drum.
What equipment to choose for the production of cotton wool? Selection and purchase of equipment
When choosing equipment, you need to pay attention to its manufacturer. A domestic-made device will cost much less, but the quality of cotton wool made on such equipment is much inferior to imported models.
The disadvantage of domestic devices is the frequent formation of blockages in boilers. This leads to the combustion of sugar and the output of low-quality cotton wool.
Therefore, a more expedient solution would be to invest in the purchase of imported devices - they are easy to maintain and produce high-quality cotton wool.
Cost and types of equipment
Currently, such devices are offered by different manufacturers. This allows you to choose more expensive or vice versa - cheap models.
So, some of them cost about $ 200, but if you wish, you can buy more expensive, for example, for $ 1,500. How much does equipment for the production of lavash cost - read
For example, consider several models from different manufacturers:
- ECONO - is currently one of the most popular devices. This device from an American manufacturer has a fairly compact size (65:65:40 cm) and a relatively low cost ($780). The capacity of the cotton candy machine is about 400 portions per hour. The power of this device is 1.2 kW.
- USV-5 PONY - a unit from a Ukrainian manufacturer has a significantly low cost ($ 250). Its size is 350:410:460 cm. Productivity - up to 100 servings per hour, power - 1.25 kW.
- CM 001 - a device from the manufacturer of China. Size - 700:700:520 cm, cost - $275. The productivity of this machine is about 150 portions per hour, the power is 1.2 kW.
- TTM is a machine from a Russian manufacturer. Its size is 660:660:500 cm, cost - $ 710, productivity - about 150 portions per hour, power - 1.45 kW.
Dyes, sugar and cotton candy sticks
The advantage of modern machines lies in the possibility of preparing not the usual white cotton wool familiar to everyone, but a colored and fragrant treat. So, if you want to sell attractive and unusual-looking cotton wool with the taste of cherries, raspberries or oranges, you will need food coloring.
The cost of one 500-gram pack of good quality dye is $15-40. But such a jar is enough for 50 kg of sugar, and this is as much as 5000 servings.
The cost of sticks on which cotton wool is wound depends on their type. So, for children, you can prepare sticks in the shape of a cone with drawings, for example, of a clown.
The cost of 1000 pieces of such products will be $ 29. Regular cardboard sticks can be purchased for $25.5 for a pack of 1,000. You can also use plastic cocktail sticks - 1000 pieces will cost only $10.
One serving of cotton candy requires 7 to 20 grams of sugar, depending on the serving size. It takes about 1 kg of sugar to prepare 50-60 servings.
Production business plan
To start a cotton candy business, you will need approximately 95-170 thousand rubles. Their distribution scheme is something like this:
- Apparatus for making cotton wool - 35 - 100 thousand rubles.
- A tent, a gasoline generator, a dome, or a trolley for transporting the device around the city - 60-70 thousand rubles.
In a month, the entrepreneur will spend:
- For the salary of two sellers - 75 thousand rubles.
- Room rental - 100 thousand rubles.
- Services of an accountant - 5 thousand rubles.
- Raw materials and consumables - 3 thousand rubles.
The total is 93 thousand rubles. You can learn how to write a business plan on your own

- One machine produces 200 portions per hour.
- The second is 350.
- A serving of cotton wool costs 100 rubles.
- One tent sells products for 5-6 thousand rubles a day.

To work out such a number of servings, you will need:
- 1 - 1.2 kg of sugar.
- 50-60 sticks.
- 8-9 gr. additives.
It should be noted that there will be no trading on several days a month for some reason (for example, due to cloudy weather).
When calculating the estimated monthly profit, you should also take into account the payment of taxes. On average, the profit per month before paying them will be from 30 to 50 thousand rubles.
So, you can recoup the initial investment in the business in about 3-5 months, even if you receive the very minimum profit.
Business Advantages and Disadvantages
The benefits of this type of business include:
- Small start-up capital.

Cotton candy production technology
For the preparation of cotton wool does not require special knowledge and education. The technology of its production is quite simple.
- A small amount of sugar is poured into the hole located in the center of the container.
- In a heated container, sugar begins to melt, and the constant rotation and action of centrifugal force contributes to the spraying of melted sugar through the holes in the drum of the apparatus.
- It remains for the seller to wind the cotton wool on a stick, forming a ball, and sell the finished product to the buyer.
How much you can earn in the production of cotton candy - see this video:
As a rule, the difficulties that arise in the process of establishing this type of activity are associated with the choice of a unit for making cotton wool. Experienced entrepreneurs who are engaged in its sale recommend paying attention to the following points:
- Russian and Ukrainian equipment leaves much to be desired. When choosing Chinese cars, you must carefully check the information declared by the manufacturer.
- The purchase can be considered successful if you manage to purchase a Chinese device with high performance at a relatively low cost.
- It is best to opt for American devices - they have good performance, but most of these machines are very expensive. Therefore, such a purchase would be appropriate only if you plan to sell cotton wool in a fairly crowded point and make very large sales volumes.
It is quite simple to implement a business idea for selling cotton candy, while this type of activity, with a good choice of a trading place, can bring good profit.
Due to the ease of transport of the device for making cotton wool, if necessary, it is easy to change the place of sale. And trading indoors will allow you to make a profit not only in the summer season, but throughout the year.
