The Russian bath has always been a popular holiday destination. After the large-scale closure of public baths built in the Soviet era, private baths and saunas became widespread among the city dweller. With the growing popularity of baths, competition in this area is only increasing. The profitability of this business is estimated at 30-50%. Return on investment from 1-3 years (see also bath business plan)

In contrast to the common recommendations for placing a commercial bath in buildings from 100m2, we suggest considering the idea of ​​building a small complex consisting of several detached houses. Clients will be offered hourly rental of sauna houses with a capacity of up to 10 people.

How much money do you need to open a commercial bath

The construction of swimming pools, salt rooms and other complexes is not expected, as it costs additional investments, and the price of the project may rise to 3 million rubles or more.

In our case, a mini-complex of three bath houses will cost a little more than 1 million rubles. new investments

• Bath from a bar "turnkey", 3 pcs. — from 700,000 rubles.
• Administrative building - from 150,000 rubles.
• LLC registration, license for alc. — from 60,000 rubles.
• Connection to engineering networks - from 150,000 rubles.
• Other expenses - from 50,000 rubles.

Total - from 1,110,000 rubles.

What system of taxation to choose for a commercial bath. OKVED code

If you plan to trade in alcoholic products, then you must purchase a license "for the sale of alcohol and alcohol-containing products" in accordance with Law No. 171 FZ. In this case, you will have to register an LLC, since individual entrepreneurs cannot obtain a license to sell alcohol.

The taxation system in our case will be USN 6% of revenue (or 15% of profit). OKVED 93.04 "Physical and recreational activities." Description of services

Service list

• Hourly sauna house rental. Payment can be either per person or total, for example, 800 rubles per hour for up to 10 people;
• Services of a massage therapist and a hairdresser;
• Sale of bath accessories: brooms, soap, shampoos, washcloths, etc.;
• Sale of cooling and alcoholic drinks, fast food, beer snacks.

Reservations can be made by phone or by advance payment.

Do not forget to think over the issue of security, as sometimes the object will be visited by violent companies who, after five mugs of beer, simply do not want to leave the premises on time.

Cleanliness is the key to health

Cleanliness and hygiene are very important in the provision of such services. It is worth at least once to prick on this - the client will not return. Therefore, after each visitor, a thorough sanitization of the premises should be carried out.

Bath location

For the location of the complex of baths, a land area of ​​​​10 acres is required. It is good if such an area is owned and the cost of buying a plot is not required. If the business is located on a land plot that was used for housing purposes, then it should be transferred to the appropriate type of permitted use.

Step-by-step plan for opening a commercial bath

Sauna houses can be built by a hired team, and the material can be bought separately, or you can purchase a turnkey bathhouse, which will be ready for work in a few days. You can choose a very different material, from which only now they are not building: timber, log, frame technology, sandwich panels, brick, brick + timber, etc. However, timber is considered the most economical and practical material.

A turnkey log bath measuring 4x6 meters will cost about 230 thousand rubles. The complex of three buildings will cost 690 thousand rubles. The capacity of one house is about 10 people. At the same time, the room will include everything you need: a steam and washing department, a rest room.

How to choose equipment for a bath

Since such objects are fire hazardous and the inspection authorities impose increased requirements on them, the bath project is being developed according to the recommendations of the fire supervision and SES. The set of rules is contained in SNIP II - L 13-62. During the construction of the premises, ventilation hatches must be provided. Walls must be sheathed with hardwood not treated with combustible substances.

The interior lining of the room is best made of linden. The rest room must be equipped with benches, a table and a TV. It is also necessary to have an administrative building where a bar, cash desk and staff will be located.

Building a complex is one thing. No less complicated procedure is the connection of communications. In this case, you will need "full stuffing": gas, water, electricity, sewerage. It is good if the site is already prepared and all communications are connected. And if not? With water and sewage, everything is more or less clear, but with gas and electricity, everything is not so simple. In this case, it is difficult to determine the cost of connection, and the connection time is frightening - from 6 months or more. It all depends on the remoteness of pipelines and power lines, as well as on the “appetite” of network companies. Ultimately, the cost of this stage can be from 100 thousand rubles. and higher.

Recruitment

At the stage of searching for a labor collective, problems may also arise. As a rule, wages in such a business are not high, so people are not willing to follow the ads. Be that as it may, the bath complex needs: an administrator, attendants and security guards. If we want to provide additional services, then we need to find more masseurs, bathers, and even hairdressers. By the way, it is better to hire a massage therapist on an ongoing basis and combine his work with the duties of a steamer.

For a small bath complex, the following staffing is also suitable:

The total payment fund will be about 70 thousand rubles per month. Marketing

Advertising and promotion

Popular baths with good service are ordered several weeks in advance. Achieving high attendance is the main "bread" of this business. The growing competition in the bath business every year requires the entrepreneur to regularly search for tools to promote his business.

The most common methods include:

• Advertising in the media;
• Creation of a website and pages in the social. networks;
• Carrying out regular promotions. For example, when ordering a bath from 8 people - 1 hour as a gift;
• Planning a flexible system of discounts, including for regular customers;

How much can you earn on bath services

The most important thing is not to “overdo it” with the price of the service, but also not to make it too low. The hourly price of renting a sauna house depends on many factors:

• The presence of competitors;
• Solvency of the population;
• Availability of additional services.

As a rule, the price in many regions of Russia is in the range from 100 to 600 rubles per hour per person. Or the whole complex is rented, then the price is from 700 to 1500 rubles, regardless of the number of people.

The main revenue of the bath, as a rule, falls on weekends. One bath house these days works for 10 hours. Peak attendance is Saturday. Rent a bath, on average, will be companies consisting of 4 people. This means that about 40 people will visit the bathhouse in one day off. With an average check of 200 rubles per visitor, the revenue from one bath will be: 200 * 40 \u003d 8,000 rubles. From three bathhouses: 24,000 rubles for one day off. 8 days off per month (Saturday and Sunday). Total 24,000 rubles. * 8 days = 192,000 rubles per weekend per month.

Weekdays cannot boast of such attendance. Therefore, all 5 weekdays will bring only 50% of the revenue for 2 days off. Total: 96,000 rubles.

Part of the proceeds will come from the sale of alcoholic beverages, snacks, brooms, and the services of a steamer. Let's take the minimum - 30,000 rubles. per month.

The total monthly revenue will be 318,000 rubles.

Monthly expenses

• Zar. fee - 70,000 rubles.
• Utilities - 60,000 rubles.
• Taxes - 20,000 rubles.
• Deductions to off-budget funds - 21,000 rubles.
• Purchase of goods - 20,000 rubles.
• Material costs and repairs - 15,000 rubles.
• Others - 20,000 rubles.

Total - 226,000 rubles. per month
