Instructions
Step 1
Analyze your skills and capabilities carefully. What can you do best: fix computers, sew clothes, bring home appliances back to life, or fix shoes? Perhaps you are versed in the devices of cars or motorcycle equipment?
Step 2
Study the market demand for this type of service that you are going to offer. Determine the competitive cost of your services. For example, if you decide to open a repair bureau to repair watch movements, but are going to set a price that is almost equal to the cost of a new watch, you are unlikely to have many clients.
Step 3
Estimate the number of competitors in your area of activity in the area. After all, if, for example, you open a repair bureau for washing machines and refrigerators, and Rembytservice, which has a long-standing reputation, is located not far from you, the client is unlikely to go to you, unless, of course, you amaze everyone with very low prices for the services provided. … But is it worth doing?
Step 4
After you have decided on the competitive niche that you are going to occupy in the service market, you need to find a room where the office will be located. To avoid the cost of renting space, repair of vehicles, for example, can be organized in your own garage, if you have one. It is also possible to repair household appliances and even boots there. The main thing is that the room is bright, warm and spacious enough. It is better to open a workshop somewhere closer to the center, and not on the outskirts of the city.
Step 5
Having decided on the premises, decide how many people will work in your repair bureau, that is, what the working staff will be. It is best to start a business with a small number of employees (sometimes one person is enough), and then, as the company develops, increase the scale of the workforce.
Step 6
Stock up on the necessary consumables, equipment for diagnosing faults, machines, instruments, etc.
Step 7
Do not forget to legalize your business, that is, collect all legal documents in the local administration, register with the tax office, registering your form of entrepreneurial activity.
Step 8
Decide if you need an accountant, driver, loader and other workers, depending on the specifics and scale of your activity.
Step 9
Pay attention to advertising, especially at the beginning of your business. These can be advertisements in the media, leaflets distributed with information about your repair bureau, your own website with a description of the services provided, contact details and other information that attracts the client's attention.
Step 10
The repair bureau can also be mobile, that is, all activities for the repair of the product can be organized at the client's home. For this, it is advisable to have personal vehicles and a mobile set of tools. An operator may be on the phone to receive orders.
