Gradually, international corporate standards are being introduced at Russian enterprises. Business trainings have become a new format for education and training of employees of many large firms. Therefore, the demand for professional training companies is acutely felt in industrial centers. This niche of entrepreneurial activity is attracting an increasing number of applicants, especially since it is possible to open a training company with a relatively small investment.
Instructions
Step 1
When planning to open a training company, try not to rely especially on bank loans. This type of activity is not very familiar to bankers and not understandable, therefore banks prefer not to take risks. At first, you will have to have only your own funds and save a lot.
Step 2
It is best if you or your co-founder have the necessary experience and level, as well as extensive contacts, to ensure a successful start of the company. Since the salary of a high-level trainer in Moscow is about 3-4 thousand dollars, it will be good if at first you yourself conduct trainings, saving on staff salaries.
Step 3
Rent an office and purchase the necessary equipment. There is no point in immediately purchasing or renting a classroom. Firstly, they can be held at the customer's site, and, secondly, renting a hall with an hourly rate will be much cheaper. Subsequently, if you are planning to expand the activity, you will, of course, need your own or rented permanent premises, equipped for your specific tasks.
Step 4
Hire your own staff to avoid becoming a regular middleman hiring freelance trainers. Send them to specialized courses in major cities. Provide each of them with everything they need: a laptop, a video camera with a tripod. In addition, you will need video projectors, one for every two to three trainers.
Step 5
Develop a concept for your training company that allows it to stand out in the market from other similar companies. Depending on the conditions, it can provide the customer with a full range of services from staff recruitment to their motivation and training, or, on the contrary, provide training services of a narrow spectrum, but of high quality. Focus on both the qualifications and work experience of your coaches.
Step 6
Include phone and internet costs right away in your primary expenses. As experienced owners of training companies note, these are the most effective ways to promote your services on the market. Therefore, it makes sense to immediately order the development of your company's website and always keep it up to date. Start an advertising campaign and attract customers.
