- - equipment;
- - premises.
Instructions
Step 1
After registering your own company, find a suitable premises. If you have very little start-up capital, you can start your own business at home. However, be prepared for the fact that the trust of customers in a home-based atelier will be much lower, and the flow of visitors will be several times less. It is preferable to choose a room with several rooms, among which there should be a reception hall, a fitting room, a work room and a utility room. You can devote a minimum of funds to repairs: the main thing is that it is clean and light enough around.
Step 2
Purchase the necessary equipment: cutting tables, sewing machines, irons, ironing boards, hangers, mannequins. Don't forget about all sorts of consumables - from stationery to needles. Depending on the direction of the work, you may need special equipment that will significantly speed up the workflow. For example, if you work with fur, you cannot do without a furrier craft machine.
Step 3
Take up the search for personnel. It is advisable to find experienced seamstresses, perhaps even with their own client base. To work with them, you can choose one of the payment methods. First, you can assign them a piecework salary depending on the number of orders. However, at the same time, it is required to control the deadlines, since the seamstress can overestimate her strength. Secondly, you can rent out the workplace and equipment, charging a certain monthly amount from the employee, regardless of the work performed.
Step 4
Make sure that information about your atelier is present in all city directories of a suitable direction. Be sure to post a catchy advertisement at the entrance, indicating some of the rates. Organize targeted distribution of brochures in a nearby area.
