Today taxi services are in demand in almost any city. Taking a taxi can often save you time and money. If you are tired of doing private cabbies yourself, and you want to put passenger transportation on a professional and legal basis, open a taxi service. The organization of the work of such a company begins with drawing up a detailed business plan.
Instructions
Step 1
Determine the type of taxi service you intend to organize. The best budget option would be a taxi dispatch service targeted at the average consumer. At the first stage, the creation of a luxury company with a specially selected assortment of cars would be impractical.
Step 2
Register the company legally by choosing the organizational and legal form of the enterprise. This can be, for example, a sole proprietorship or a limited liability company. Consider each of the options to take into account, in particular, all the intricacies of taxation.
Step 3
Estimate the need for transport and employees. For full-fledged work, you will need your own car park (at least half of the total number of cars), as well as drivers with their cars. In the future, subject to stable profits, the number of cars can be increased.
Step 4
Make an algorithm for the taxi service. It will be approximately as follows: - the client contacts the service using the dispatcher's contact phone number;
- the dispatcher records the contact and coordinates of the client;
- the dispatcher transmits the data to the driver who is closer than others to the desired address;
- the driver takes the client to the destination and receives payment for the service provided.
Step 5
Analyze the market for similar services available in your city. Gather information about competitors, methods of promoting services on the market, techniques and methods of advertising, prices for services.
Step 6
Purchase the equipment you need to run a taxi service. You will need cars, taximeters, radio stations. Additional technical elements include: vehicle tracking system, navigation devices, software for the central computer. You can purchase these devices later, when the company starts to bring tangible profits.
Step 7
Calculate financial indicators and determine the approximate payback period for the taxi service. If you have a fleet of your own cars, it will take you about one and a half years to return your investment. If you start by renting vehicles and hiring drivers with private cars, the payback period of the project will be significantly shorter.
