Recently, the number of children in need of speech therapist services has increased. Therefore, opening a speech therapy office is a very relevant and promising business. If you think over all the details and get down to business thoroughly, you can count on a good profit.
Instructions
Step 1
The first step is to draw up a business plan. Consider the upcoming expenses and add 15-20% to the amount received.
Step 2
Register self-employed business (IE).
Step 3
When the documents are ready, start looking for space for your own office. Look after the room in office centers, schools, child development centers, etc. Keep in mind that the office should be located in a convenient location, within walking distance from the metro or public transport stops. It is desirable that it is located no higher than 2 floors, otherwise the building must have an elevator.
Step 4
For individual lessons, a room with an area of 20-25 square meters is suitable for you. After you conclude an agreement with the landlord, you will need to equip it. Buy a table, a few chairs, a mirror, a bookcase for study literature, a computer or laptop, toys and aids for studying.
Step 5
Decide where the child's parents will be during class. You can invite them to wait in the lobby or directly in your office. In this case, purchase extra chairs or armchairs.
Step 6
Select class hours. Many parents find it more convenient to take their children to the teacher's office in the afternoon. Therefore, to attract more clients, announce discounts on classes in the morning. During the daytime, when many preschoolers are asleep, you can take school-age children or work with adults. Study on Saturdays, as some parents only have the option to bring their children to class on weekends.
Step 7
Think about how you will look for clients. Effective advertising methods are posting advertisements at the entrances, information leaflets in kindergartens, clinics and medical centers, where there are no specialists in speech disorders. Advertise your services on parent sites and forums. Notify all acquaintances that you are opening a private practice.
Step 8
If possible, create your own website. It can be a business card site. The main thing is that it contains comprehensive information about you and your activities.
Step 9
Renting a room will cost you from 15,000 rubles a month. For the purchase of furniture, a computer and teaching aids, you will spend at least 40,000 rubles. Advertising in the form of printed materials will cost 4000-5000 rubles.
Step 10
The average cost of a half-hour individual lesson with a speech therapist is from 800 rubles, and the payback period for investments in this business directly depends on the number of students.
