Step 1
Starting any business requires writing a detailed business plan. Calculate the investment required to start a company, fixed and variable costs, turnover and profit.
Step 2
Register a legal entity with the tax office. You can, of course, become an individual entrepreneur, but in this case it will be somewhat more difficult to find clients. It is best to choose a general tax system, otherwise most of the large manufacturers will not want to work with you, since the VAT refund is very important for them.
Step 3
You need an office to work. There are no special requirements for the premises. The main thing is that you have the ability to connect a landline phone and the Internet.
Step 4
You can purchase your own automobile transport, hire drivers with personal cars, conclude contracts with transport companies. It should be borne in mind that maintaining a large staff of drivers and servicing personal vehicles is a rather troublesome and costly task, therefore, at first, it is better to do with the services of other carriers. It is important that the drivers and companies with whom you will cooperate have on hand a full package of registration and permits.
Step 5
Find employees to work in the office. You will need transport sales specialists and logisticians. Good transportation workers are difficult to find, so take care of their training and professional development.
Step 6
Use all kinds of advertising. On the Internet, you can post information on your own website, specialized message boards, sites with information about carriers (access to them is usually paid), in contextual advertising on other portals. In local and specialized media, you can print articles about your company and its contacts with a list of services provided. Also, your salespeople should make cold calls to potential customers and send out commercial offers.
