Many of our compatriots, especially during a crisis, greatly value their time - after all, it is also money. Therefore, for busy people, the issue of comfortable and high-quality solutions to everyday problems is very relevant - especially when we're talking about about dry cleaning of clothes, shoe repair, painting of leather jackets, etc. Accordingly, in order not to run around the area looking for a good specialist to solve a specific issue, it is more convenient for the client to solve all the problems in one place - the so-called point of reception and provision of household services (household services center).
Previously, these problems were solved by households, because in one building there were workshops for repairing shoes and small household appliances, dry cleaning and dyeing of clothes, etc. Now these services, as a rule, can be obtained at different points, and often a narrow problem, for example, replacing buttons on winter jacket, it takes a long time to decide, because it is difficult to find a master. In such a situation, a consumer services center may be in great demand among residents of large cities, because the demand for these services among the population is very high.
Project Description
We are opening a consumer services center in the capital. We offer clients shoe and clothing repair, leather accessories painting, key cutting, small household appliance repair, etc. This means that the client will be able to leave clothes, shoes or equipment at our point. And our representatives, in turn, will indicate the damage, list of work and deadlines for returning the goods on a special order form.
Afterwards, the items are delivered to partners who will directly repair shoes or wash clothes, etc. And within the agreed time frame, the client will receive the finished order back. The client's benefit is high-quality services in one place, the contractor's benefit is an influx of new orders, our benefit is receiving income as a percentage of the cost of the service. According to calculations, if we earn $90-100 daily from providing household services, the investment will pay off in 4-8 months.
Start-up capital
Furniture
Initially we need to purchase furniture. In particular, you will need a couple of tables and chairs, a safe for documents and money, cabinets or racks for storing clients’ clothes and household appliances, etc. We'll budget $750 for all this.
Technique
In terms of equipment, we will need two laptops, a multifunction printer, a modem for wi-fi, a security alarm, two mobile phones, etc. We will also need an electric kettle and a microwave oven. We will try to keep it to $1,500.
Equipment
We will purchase equipment for making keys, since clients need this service urgently. We will take into account $1,100 for the purchase of a machine, blanks for regular and intercom keys, other professional equipment and simple tools (screwdrivers, hammers, pliers, etc.).
ONLY $3,350
Current expenses
Rent
Renting a 30 m2 renovated room in a residential area will cost at least $200. On the Internet mobile communications, public utilities, the monthly fee for the alarm system will be $100. We will spend another $50 on tea, coffee, repairs of equipment, stationery, detergents, etc. We will set aside $200 for the purchase of supplies and other necessary small items. Total: $550.
Team
We need 2 receptionists who will work every other day. A part-time cleaner and accountant will also be needed. Let's take a key maker (rate + % of orders). We also need a remote foreman who will work on calls, eliminating minor problems - electrical, plumbing (rate +%). The owner will be the administrator. Total: minimum $1,500-2,000.
TOTAL: ~$2,050.
Marketing and advertising
The consumer services center must necessarily have a presence on the Internet. We will create an online version of the reception, where we will indicate the list of services, their cost, and travel contacts. We will put $450 on a business card website and domain. We will create pages on Facebook, Instagram - we will come up with promotions, bonuses, and develop a loyalty program. We will publish advertisements about services in online newspapers and on discount exchanges. In addition to online promotion, we will get to know our neighbors: we will print business cards, flyers, advertisements, visit neighboring housing estates and tell about our start. Let's talk to the owners of mini-hotels: this will help increase orders.
By the way, it would be a very good idea to develop free magnets on the refrigerator, where in addition to police, ambulance and fire service, in the column for the center of consumer services, our contacts will also be indicated. Such a thing will be very useful, and the client will definitely hang it in the most visible place. And if there is a need for a particular service, he will not go online, but will immediately call us.
Only $400 to start and $200 monthly.
Project payback
The consumer services center earns from a percentage of the order, which is paid by partners (workshops, dry cleaners) as a reward for each client. This can be from 5% to 30%. Direct income comes from making duplicate keys and calling a locksmith to your home. Suppose that every day 8 people leave jobs with us, for which the average remuneration will be $10.
In addition, we will make 4 duplicate keys for $2 each. And finally, $12 per day will come from one call of a technician to your home (we expect 3 of these per day). Total: we will earn $3,720. We take away running costs$2,050, marketing $200 and we get $1,470.
Partnerships and logistics
In this business, it is important to correctly structure all the logistics of processes: points of reception and provision of household services are the connecting link between customers and the direct performers of the work. Therefore, it is important to study the location where the new point will be launched even before the start.
It is advisable to open in new microdistricts, where social infrastructure is just being created, and, accordingly, there are no markets and other islands with the availability of various services.
This makes it possible, as they say, to “slot a place” in the consumer services niche being created and immediately find target audience, thus ahead of competitors. At the same time, when starting a business, it is important to create a list of services based on the needs of the local population. To do this, you need to walk around the area, talk to the local population, ask what they lack in everyday life - shoe repair, leather goods painting, dry cleaning, etc.
Such a survey will allow us to create a base of needs for the residents of the microdistrict, and will also allow us to study the situation on the ground - are there any competitors, what types of services do they provide, is it quality work, what is price policy. All this is important for the formation of the subsequent business strategy of the household services point. And based on the range of services provided, it will be possible to look for partners for a new project who will repair customers’ things and devices.
It is advisable that the consumer services center and these workshops are not very far from each other, as this will affect the time and cost of transporting orders back and forth. You can talk to large networks, or you can look for small but high-quality production bases. The result of this search and the formation of a list of business partners will determine how to set up logistics. Since network performers can also pick up orders, they must have their own transport. And if we are talking about small performers, then transportation costs may have to be divided in half.

We are looking for regular clients
Market participants recommend not focusing exclusively on private customers, because they may not become the backbone of a constant flow of clients. In order for orders for equipment repair, bed linen washing, and dry cleaning to become highly in demand, you can pay attention to the corporate sector.
The fact is that in large cities there are many small entrepreneurs who can run mini-hotels, hostels, co-working spaces, cafes and other facilities that require constant cleaning, laundry, repairs, etc.
For such purposes, these entrepreneurs can hire a special person to solve minor everyday problems, or rack their brains over where to find this or that master.
And if these representatives of the corporate sector are offered a solution to everyday problems at reasonable prices, they will clearly like this option, because a very large block of economic issues will be resolved. During such negotiations with micro-business owners, you should not be afraid of competition from large network companies, because their services, as a rule, are much more expensive. Besides, big business They are mainly interested in large customers in the form of well-promoted restaurants or hotels, so networkers are unlikely to “chase after small things.”
Household Services Center: contract
A consumer services center is still a client-oriented business, so it is important to be able to establish contacts with people. Therefore, receiving orders from customers should be organized correctly, so a special order form will not hurt. The form must contain the necessary information: client data, order completion time, what goes into the work, what processes will be carried out, whether there are any flaws in the item, etc.
All this information will simplify the work of the contractor and give the customer the expected result. Also, notes in the order form will help save you from problems later if the customers are not satisfied with something, because all the initial data has already been indicated in the form. It is also important to train the team in the basics of competently accepting orders, because people can come to the consumer services center with completely different tasks. Some need to replace the arch supports on their shoes, while others need to remove specific stains from a wool blanket. In all cases, the specialist must properly advise the client and give good advice- they say, shoes can be repaired, but a wool blanket cannot be restored due to the age of the stain.
We place bets on rare services
In order for a new business project to become successful, you need to stand out from the crowd of similar ones with at least a list of household services. This means that, in addition to dry cleaning, shoe repair or painting of leather accessories, you need to offer people related services - less popular, but which can be in demand at any time.
This could be, for example, replacing buttons on clothes, repairing suitcases or umbrellas, repainting leather goods, etc. In addition, it is useful to provide services for the repair or prevention of breakdowns of household appliances. Moreover, if customers can bring a kettle or a microwave oven to the point for repair, then for large-sized goods in the form of a refrigerator or washing machine, a specialist will need to visit the address - and it is desirable that this service be in the service list of the household point. This is important because the problem of a washing machine breaking down can be simple: a child’s sock has clogged the drain in the unit. Then you need to disassemble the washer, remove the sock from the drain, and reassemble the unit. Resolving the issue may take a total of an hour and a half. In this case, the service can cost $15-20. So why give this order to one of your competitors if it can be completed by a master from your household services point?
Every person may be faced with solving everyday issues at any time. The list of these problems is extremely long. Someone needs to make new keys, someone needs to repair a watch, paint the walls, sharpen knives, make cosmetic repairs in the apartment and much more. Not everyone is able to cope with everyday issues on their own. Household appliances after many years of operation, furniture are damaged as a result of an accident, and it is not possible to transport heavy loads on your own. And there are always a lot of reasons that prevent you from finishing what you started: no time, no experience in the required field, or simply no desire.
