Instructions
Step 1
First you need to register with the tax office. You can become an individual entrepreneur or organize a legal entity. There is no need to obtain a transportation license to open a city taxi. This moment greatly facilitates the procedure for organizing a business.
Step 2
It is better to draw up a business plan before starting the organization of a taxi company. Calculate all your expenses and incomes in it based on the analysis of the sales market and your competitors.
Step 3
Pick up the office, which will be the head transmitter and the dispatcher. It can be located absolutely anywhere, even in a residential area. The main thing is that it is convenient for you to receive there the drivers taking up the shift and leaving work.
Step 4
Purchase all the equipment you need. You will need a minimum set of office furniture for a dispatcher, walkie-talkie, checkers, office equipment. It is obligatory to have a landline phone, as well as mobile numbers of different operators.
Step 5
Hire employees. You will need several dispatchers who will work in 3-4 shifts, and drivers with private cars. With taxi drivers, you must conclude contracts in accordance with which you will act as an agent, and charge them with the agent's imagination. Of course, you can issue them according to the work book, but this way you will have to settle for them with the tax inspectorate, the pension fund and other government organizations.
Step 6
Develop a price list for your services. It is advisable that your taxi fleet is not limited to passenger transportation. To withstand serious competition in the taxi market, it is necessary to provide customers with a full range of services: cargo transportation, courier services, delivery of food orders, meeting at the airport and at the train station, "sober driver" service and others.
Step 7
Inform your potential customers that you have opened. The most difficult thing is to attract new customers and transfer them to the category of regular ones. This requires that your discovery be loud and interest. Great discounts for the first customers, a promotion with a drawing of valuable prizes are perfect. Don't forget about advertising too. Use all the possibilities for this: print media, local television and radio, the Internet, leaflets, business cards in cafes, clubs, hotels, etc., outdoor advertising at train stations and in other crowded places of the city.
