It is necessary
- - Registration with Russian Railways;
- - initial capital;
- - working point;
- - staff.
Instructions
Step 1
Become an official agent of Russian Railways JSC. It is worth noting here that Russian Railways does not give its agents any commission, and it will be necessary to carry out activities for a “service fee”.
Step 2
Register by following the necessary steps. First, submit an application and queue for this request. Next, get an official prescription regarding the rules for equipping the point. This process can take six months or more.
Step 3
Prepare an initial investment in the amount of 800 thousand rubles, as well as funds for a "service fee" from a ticket or trade margin - up to 500 rubles. Think over all the expenses that will result in taxes, rent, private security, salaries for employees, a dedicated line, as well as deductions from Russian Railways itself. The latter include monthly payments from each terminal of 11 thousand rubles for information services, as well as 15 rubles in the GDO from each ticket sold for accounting purposes. In total, your monthly expenses will be 135 thousand rubles. Expected income: 200 thousand rubles.
Step 4
Equip the point. According to Russian Railways standards, a workplace should have an area of up to 45 square meters. Install a grill, safe, panic button, alarm and special design doors (according to the application). Open a deposit account for your ticket limit (a mini-point with two terminals can afford about 150 thousand rubles for this).
Step 5
Hire the necessary staff in the person of two cashiers, a general director, an accountant and an outsourced private security guard. Wait for the final approval and acceptance of your work by officials and start your business.
