How to open a commercial bathhouse. Business idea: construction of private baths as a business

Long gone are the days when bath and laundry factories were mandatory attributes of the harsh Soviet reality. But, despite the fact that everyone has the opportunity to perform hygienic procedures at home, many of us, you see, under certain conditions will not deny themselves the pleasure of visiting a bathhouse or sauna.

Connoisseurs who are willing to pay for such pleasure argue that finding a steam room to your liking is not so easy: a fairly saturated market still does not satisfy the demand. Consequently, there is a prospect of succeeding in the bathing business by opening a private sauna.

Opening a family-type sauna is a great option

Doubles in major cities are present in the assortment. Almost every sports club has baths, many beauty salons have mini-saunas, there are also VIP establishments with an expanded list of services (and Thai massage is a mere trifle compared to the services offered there).

But in all the listed examples, the “steam room” itself only accompanies the main business, is part of the “program”, and there is no point in considering it as a separate item of income. Another thing is a family-type sauna, a kind of cultural and health club, where both young and old will find something to do, where it is customary for the whole team to go regularly, with teas, aromatic oils and brooms. Experienced bath attendants say this is not easy to find. It's even harder to get there: everything best time(Friday evenings and weekends), as a rule, have long been “staken out” by regular customers, and to break into busy schedule problematic.

In one of the saunas they say that especially persistent clients leave their numbers mobile phones, so that employees can inform them about an accidentally formed window.

Additional services and arrangement of sauna, bathhouse

According to experts, in such a sauna, in addition to the steam room itself (which should be counted on for at least six people), a shower room and a changing room, there must be a large room for relaxation. It is ideal when in the same room there is, for example, a billiard table, as well as a TV, so that the company does not break up and everyone finds activities of interest. It is advisable to equip a small pool (at least 3 by 3 meters); it would be nice to find a place for a couple of sports equipment. The presence of a jacuzzi is also of great interest to the public (in some baths this is included in the rental price, in others it is customary to pay additionally for the use of the service).

As for massage (it is believed that this type of health treatment goes perfectly with a steam room), it is better, of course, to provide for such an opportunity and purchase at least a specialized couch, since many avid bathhouse attendants themselves possess the necessary skills. Another option is when sauna owners enter into a service agreement with a practicing massage therapist, whose work is paid, naturally, by clients.

Many consider a bar to be another indispensable attribute of a bathhouse establishment. Owners of private saunas say that selling alcohol does not always bring big profits, but you still have to sell strong drinks - otherwise clients come with their own alcohol (which, in fact, can be negotiated). But we remind you that this type of service requires licensing.

Baths and saunas are a good business to start

According to experts, baths are not a very difficult business to start, and if the circumstances are successful, it can pay for itself in two to three years. Experts say that when opening a family-type bathhouse, you should start with a cost of $1,000. for every sq. meter of area (a modest establishment can be placed on fifty square meters). It is not at all necessary to open a bathhouse in a pass-through place in the center (after all, people don’t come here by chance along the way). It is best to rely on a specific microdistrict.

Any bathhouse (be it Finnish or Russian) requires very significant technical equipment. For a Russian sauna, a wood-burning heater is best suited, but stoves can be electric or gas. A swimming pool is perhaps the most expensive pleasure. To equip it you need approximately ten different devices: pumps, filtering devices, heaters, transformers, illuminators. Generators, specialized ceramic heating systems, and special thermal curtains may also be needed. You will also have to fork out for water drainage and air ventilation systems. However, if it is difficult to reduce the costs of special equipment, then it is quite possible to save on the interior - the main thing is that everything is hygienic and functional. The minimum number of staff is also pleasing: the obligatory administrator and cleaning lady, as well as an additional steamer and massage therapist.

You should be aware that a sauna is an energy-intensive institution, and the cost of electricity is ultimately greater than the cost of water - the main resource of the bath (about one hundred liters are required per visitor).

Bath business: the story of one entrepreneur

As entrepreneur Oleg Savchenko says, a bathhouse built, as they say, “for oneself” can eventually turn into profitable business. "My best friends became my business partners, and we initially organized the sauna specifically for “internal use,” because everyone has relatives and godfathers. It is located in the basement of a house in one of the quiet residential areas, and, to be honest, it would be simply a shame to sell what was there originally: uncovered communications, drips, dampness. Over time, of course, we changed everything here, made repairs, equipped a relaxation room, a massage room, and installed a billiard table. We even have a fireplace, and it’s not a fake one,” says the businessman.

According to the entrepreneur, today it is almost impossible to get into his sauna “from the street” - all the time is scheduled by the hour (at the same time there is no claim to a VIP level, only a Finnish steam room is offered and even the services of a massage therapist have long been abandoned). With an abundance of saunas in big cities There is a catastrophic shortage of family-type establishments where you can truly relax culturally. A separate problem is to explain to people that this is a sauna where people take steam, and not a veiled “dating house” (brothel). “The point is to invest money in this business; it’s better to immediately position your business correctly and create an appropriate reputation for it,” says the businessman and bath attendant.

Profit and costs

Considering that average price per hour in the steam room today is about 600-800 rubles for 4-6 people per hour (“extra” people are paid additionally - 100-150 rubles per person), and many saunas today operate around the clock and seven days a week, the total income will theoretically be approximately 150 000-180,000 rub. per month. Net profit will be approximately a third of this amount.

Well, it’s difficult to judge how quickly the start-up costs pay off - each owner has his own ideas about what the interior should generally be like, and accordingly, the initial costs of arranging the premises can vary greatly.

author: Oleg Minnullin, for the site

The history of the appearance of baths goes back at least two millennia; they appeared all over the world in different forms among many peoples and to this day are a very popular form of recreation. Baths have become a part of human life and have long ceased to be an attribute rural areas. Almost all cities in the world have them at their disposal.

For many, the bathhouse is a place where the body and soul rest, and for some it is also a business. The business model of the bathhouse is quite simple, but at the same time it requires preparation, because not a single person starting a business in this industry wants to receive a loss instead of the treasured profit.

Types of baths

It is necessary to begin the analysis with the types of baths and how they differ.

• , also known as a steam sauna, is the most common and popular type of bath. In such a bath there is a fairly high temperature (from 45 to 80 degrees Celsius) with high air humidity (from 70 to 100%), due to this a high degree of warming up of the body is achieved. Steam condenses on the body in the form of water droplets, so the Russian bath is not only good place for relaxation, but also helps to wash the body much better than taking a shower or bath, which makes it one of best places to maintain personal hygiene.

• or as it is more often called a sauna, it differs from the Russian one in its higher temperature (about 100°C) and low air humidity (from 10 to 30%). Finnish baths are common in Western countries and are almost as popular as Russian ones. They are fully a place for relaxation; they do not provide for the presence of steam brooms, due to the risk of getting burned; instead, in most cases they use natural or artificial reservoirs near the steam room.

• Hammam or Turkish bath- common in the Middle East, its distinguishing feature This is a very mild indoor climate, the bathhouse is heated by pipes with heated water running inside the floor, walls and even sun loungers. They spend more than one hour in such baths, achieving maximum relaxation; they employ staff to carry out various procedures, such as massage. Temperatures rarely reach 50°C, with low humidity. Often such baths are used in spa centers.

• - looks a little like a bathhouse in our minds, this is a room in which there is a wooden barrel filled hot water, heated within 60°C and a couch on which a person sits after taking a bath.

• A separate view is worth mentioning saunas on wheels. These are increasingly popular, compact baths located inside the back of a truck. This type of bath attracts with its mobility and unusualness, and in fact this type of sauna is in no way inferior to others.

Other types of baths are essentially the ones listed above, but differ in the way they are taken, so it makes no sense to disassemble them.

Profitability

It is necessary to find out the profitability of certain types of baths before the start of a business project. Based on the principles of popularity, cost of construction and complexity of implementation, Russian and Finnish baths will be the most profitable.

The Russian bath with its high humidity is difficult to implement in urban areas; in addition, many people associate the Russian bath with outdoor recreation, dousing with water, rolling in a snowdrift, and so on. We can conclude that it is best to base your business on a Russian bath in the countryside.

The Finnish one requires lower installation costs due to the absence of the need to install a steam generator, the price of which is quite high. At the same time, the Finnish bathhouse competes on equal terms with the Russian one.

In the long term, the commercial use of a bathhouse brings more profit than a small cafe. This is achieved due to low costs for service staff, hourly wages, income from the sale of goods.

In theory, the bathhouse can be maintained by its owners themselves, which will significantly reduce initial costs, helping to quickly recoup the cost of its construction. Hourly payment guarantees a profit from each client, and often large groups go to the baths. Selling goods in such establishments implies higher prices than in stores. It is up to the owner to decide whether to sell alcohol or not, but it is worth remembering that then customers will bring it themselves, which will take part of the establishment’s income.

Climate

Choosing and maintaining the climate in the bathhouse is the basis of the future layout, so first of all it is necessary to find out what the climate in the future bathhouse will be like.

The climate will depend on several factors:

Bake

Two development paths: either you build the stove yourself, or purchase a ready-made stove.

Purchasing a stove affects future heating costs. Electric, wood or gas - this is the choice offered by stove manufacturers. The most popular and reliable are Finnish stoves.

An electric oven is the easiest to use; it only requires proper settings.

Gas, like electric, is more economical in terms of costs, but requires careful monitoring to ensure safe use.

A wood-burning stove is the least suitable option for use in a bathhouse for commercial purposes, due to the constant need to maintain a fire inside the stove using wood.

Prices for these types of stoves start from 12,000 and reach millions of rubles. Of course, everything depends on the scale of your project; for a middle-class bathhouse, a stove costing about 40,000-60,000 rubles is suitable.

When building a stove manually, whether to order or on your own, it is important to remember that brick stoves have a much greater heat capacity and maintain heat in the bath longer than their metal counterparts. In general, the cost of materials for the construction of a furnace will not exceed 6,000 rubles.

Manual construction is not a very labor-intensive or complicated task; with the right approach, you can be 100% sure that the constructed stove will last a really long time.

An important element in a Russian bathhouse; without it, the bathhouse will in fact be Finnish due to the lack of steam. The cost of steam generators is an order of magnitude higher than the cost of furnaces. A middle-class steam generator costs about 60,000-80,000 rubles. Of course, there are cheaper ones, but such steam generators are intended more for private baths than for permanent operation in a commercial one.

Ventilation and chimney

An important condition for a quality bath is ventilation. Ventilation ensures air circulation and prevents stagnation inside the room. Sometimes the lack of ventilation can be dangerous to health and sometimes life. It helps in drying the room after use and maintaining the same temperature and humidity levels.

A chimney is a must if you are using fuel combustion to generate heat. Without this, the room will be smoky, and the danger will be the presence of carbon monoxide in the air.

Construction of a bathhouse

Before planning a bathhouse, you should ask yourself: what material will the bathhouse be built from?

Material selection

Type of material and cost:

• Profiled timber From 18,000 rub. per cubic meter.
• Rounded log From 6,000 rub. per cubic meter.
• Simple log From 3,500 rub. per cubic meter
• Brick (red) From 400 rub. per m²/rub.

Using a special calculator you can calculate approximate quantity required bricks. With a masonry width of one brick, a structure of 2.3x6x5 meters (excluding walls inside the building), the construction will take about 4,848 bricks. If the price of one brick is 8 rubles. then the cost of bricks for building walls will be 38,784 rubles.

When building a bathhouse from timber, with the same dimensions, at the price of profiled timber 100x100mm. - 18,000 rub. per cubic meter, the total cost will be 91,080 rubles (you can calculate it using this calculator http://stroy-calc.ru/raschet-brusa) At the same time, wood, in comparison with brick, warms up faster and does not require external and internal finishing .

It should be noted that bathhouses built from wood are very attractive to a potential client, due to people’s prevailing ideas about its appearance.

Layout

This is the approximate layout of a small bathhouse, which provides for the presence of three rooms:

1. Steam room.
2. Washing room.

The layout of the bathhouse is possible without the presence of a washing room, with the addition of a staff room in front of the entrance to the rest room. It is best to discuss the layout with experts in the field.

When using a bathhouse as a business, it is recommended to equip the rooms with various equipment that attracts customers and expands the functionality of our bathhouse. For example: installing a pool table or solarium. This will bring additional profit by attracting more affluent clients. To achieve this, a large area of ​​the rest room is required.

Example of a commercial bath:

This layout includes a washing room and toilet, a large relaxation room, a terrace and a steam room.

Construction

The construction of the bathhouse is divided into several stages:

• Foundation installation;
• Construction of walls;
• Roof installation;
• Pouring the floor;
• Installation of equipment and interior finishing.

You can learn more about all this from various articles about the construction of bathhouses, there are a huge number of them on the Internet, from the simplest and most understandable, to the construction of projects for multi-storey bathhouses.

Each stage must be thought out at the bathhouse design stage in order to avoid problems during construction.

Construction of a bathhouse, depending on the complexity, will take from three weeks to three months. The average cost of hiring a construction team is 2000 rubles/day.

The cost of hiring workers will depend on several factors:

• Worker qualifications;
• Region;
• Timing and length of the working day.

Calculation of costs for the construction and equipment of a bathhouse

Bathhouse design price: approximately 10,000 rubles.

Let's take into account the design of a 12x8 meter bathhouse, with a steam room, a staff room and a relaxation room. The height of the walls will be 2.5 meters. Equipment will include a table for 8 people, a billiard table, a steam generator, and an electric oven.

A brick building with an external wall width of one and a half bricks and an internal wall width of one brick, with a joint thickness of 5 mm, will require approximately 21,000 bricks and 5.7 cubic meters of mortar.

The price of the solution is 2,300 rubles / cubic meter

Brick price: 400 rub./per square meter or 8 rubles/brick

Calculation of the estimated cost: (8x21000)+(2300x5.7)=168000+13100=181100 rub.

Construction from timber at a cost of 18,000 rubles. a cubic meter with the same parameters will cost approximately 210,000 rubles.

The cost of construction from a log is 6,000 rubles. three times cheaper and will be approximately 70,000 rubles.

The cost of a roof, according to approximate estimates, ranges from 25 to 50 thousand rubles, let’s take average at 37,500 rub.

The average cost of equipment when building a bathhouse is about 150,000 rubles.

The cost of hiring a construction team will be about 120,000 rubles.

Total: the estimated cost of a complete building from design to installation of equipment, when built from rounded logs, will be: 567,500 rubles. To start a full-fledged business, this is a fairly low cost. The cost of construction can be either lower or significantly higher, reaching millions of rubles. But still, in most cases, the cost of building a bathhouse as a business project will vary from 500,000 to 1,000,000 rubles.

Revenue optimization

After building the bathhouse, it is necessary to begin its commercial use. Here you need to set visiting rates and work on increasing the income from clients using your bathhouse. This is primarily necessary to increase the rate of return on investment for this business project, but in addition, high income will improve the quality of the services offered and ensure stable operation.

An internal mini-store that will sell a variety of ready-made snacks, alcoholic beverages, cigarettes, etc. will significantly increase profitability due to inflated prices and high demand.

Self-service of the establishment will allow you to initial stage save on hiring an administrator, allowing you to invest more money from income to promote and improve the quality of services.

Improving the quality of services provided will increase the profitability of the establishment by increasing the cost of visiting. A simple bathhouse will offer its services for about 200 rubles per hour per person, and a bathhouse with billiard tables, hookahs, big amount seats and snacks offered will cost about 500 rubles per hour.

It is not recommended to save on everything; this can lead to a significantly reduced quality of service and loss of reputation. Savings are required, but permissible quantities. Rational use budget is often much more useful.

Calculation of profit per month

The most enjoyable activity for any entrepreneur is counting profits. The need to calculate profits in advance is one of the foundations for future entrepreneurship. Without this, there will simply be no incentive to start moving towards this goal. Therefore, below you will be presented with the estimated profitability from the commercial use of the future bathhouse.

First you need to calculate the number of visitors per day. The work of the bathhouse mainly occurs in the evening and at night, so from 24 hours it is worth immediately removing the morning and daytime 12 hours. There are 12 hours left during which the bathhouse will be open, but not all of them will be profitable due to the lack of visitors. The average number of “working” hours per day for most baths is about 3-4 hours. Most often, the bathhouse is visited by groups of two or more people. If we take the average number of visitors as 3, it turns out that approximately 9-12 people will visit the bathhouse per day. This value will decrease or increase depending on many parameters, such as the popularity of the establishment or the day of the week. So we can calculate that about 300 people can visit the establishment in a month.

A middle class bathhouse, the cost of construction of which was calculated above, uses hourly pay from each client in the amount of 500 rubles per hour.

If you do not take into account the costs of purchasing products and utilities, then net profit is about 150,000 rubles. A very good business that, with the right approach, will recoup its startup costs in less than a year.

There is a common type of bathhouse in which people can simultaneously stay a large number of different people, such baths use lower prices, but receive a more stable and larger influx of visitors. More often, such baths perform better when located near large shopping or sports centers. In such baths, each person pays up to 300 rubles for entry and is with other visitors in one large steam room.

conclusions

From such a broad topic, several important conclusions can be drawn.

1. A bathhouse can be a source of good profit. The lack of bathhouses in the everyday life of the urban population forces them to go to paid saunas and baths. This allows you to receive visitors without special advertising costs. Relatively low costs of maintaining a business after starting and high profitability of the services provided provide scope for the development of this establishment.
2. Low capital investment is a very big plus in favor of starting a business in this industry. In related industries, capital investments often exceed several million rubles, while here they rarely exceed the 1,000,000 mark.
3. Pleasant competitive environment - firstly, the competition here is not as developed as it might seem, almost all saunas provide the same range of services, which means there is room for imagination. Secondly, the competitive environment itself attracts visitors, people not only go to different bathhouses in search of a better one, they may also not be able to get into one bathhouse and then they may urgently need to find another, which may be yours.
4. Simplicity of the business model. Visitors pay for the time spent in this establishment, this is a very simple and at the same time effective key to making a profit.
5. Awareness. All people know from childhood what a bathhouse is, so there is no need here. once again explain to the client about the service provided to him, he himself knows everything.

Good day! Today I’m writing another one for my business portal.

I was asked to write this business plan by one of the subscribers of the VK group “ Business secrets for a beginner ”.

And so, next in line business plan private bath, or rather even step-by-step instructions for opening a private bathhouse as a business.

Considering search engines YANDEX on the topic of opening a private bathhouse can give you a nervous tic. Check it out for yourself, the last thing that just killed me was the business plan for a private bathhouse in 2017, I received a business plan for 2005... further without words.

How to open a private sauna step by step

We traditionally start a business plan for a private bath with the official registration of our future business, for this we need to choose.

Choosing a form of ownership for opening a private bathhouse

To open a private bathhouse, you should pay attention to two forms of ownership:

• (Individual entrepreneurship);
• (Limited Liability Company).

There are several reasons why I chose an LLC rather than an individual entrepreneur:

1. Image LLC. Whatever you say, the image of a limited liability company is an order of magnitude higher than that of a business. Having opened your private bathhouse, be prepared to work not only with ordinary people (individuals), but also with organizations ( legal entities) quite often corporate events are held not in stuffy halls of establishments, but on outdoors with a bathhouse, barbecue, etc.;
2. Insurance premiums for individual entrepreneurs. If you don’t know, then an entrepreneur, in addition to taxes, must pay so-called taxes for his activities, and it does not matter whether you are in business or not. This is a definite disadvantage of IP;
3. Payment of 1% to the Pension Fund for individual entrepreneurs. Another disadvantage for an individual entrepreneur is that he must pay 1% to the Pension Fund on a turnover exceeding 300,000 rubles a year, which doesn’t seem like much. But counting for the year, let’s assume that the monthly turnover of a private bath was 100,000 rubles, for the year we get (1,200,000 – 300,000) = 900,000 and 1% is 9,000 rubles of additional expenses to fixed contributions IP is undoubtedly a minus;
4. . A couple of years ago, when compiling step-by-step instructions for opening a private bathhouse, I would have chosen an individual entrepreneur as the simplest form of ownership in business. On this moment I choose LLC one by one good reason: in the case when sole founder LLC is also its director, then he does not receive a salary and, as a result, does not pay 13% and insurance premiums in the Pension Fund, Compulsory Medical Insurance Fund, Social Insurance Fund. The reason is quite banal - a person cannot conclude an employment contract with himself, but no employment contract, then there is no salary or insurance premiums.

This is actually the reason why I chose the LLC form of ownership for the private bathhouse.

Even if for some reason you don’t run your own business, you won’t pay anyone anything, unlike an individual entrepreneur.

In order to open an LLC, you will need types of activities from.

Since last year OKVED2001 was replaced by OKVED2014 (OKVED2), the Internet turned out to be a complete mess and they all got mixed up and only a knowledgeable person can determine which OKVED is needed.

Here you are lucky, since I belong to the category of people who can easily choose the necessary types of activities:

96.04 - Physical education and health activities (includes steam baths).

This type of activity will be the main one.

If you have any questions, please ask them either in the contact group or directly in the comments to the article.

Happy business! Bye!

A huge number of entrepreneurs are interested in a bathhouse as a business, and everyone is looking for answers to a number of questions - is it profitable, where to start, how to open it?

Today, a private bathroom is a common occurrence in apartments and private homes. Recently, such a pleasure was not available to everyone, which is why the Russian bathhouse was extremely popular. In villages there were bathhouses in almost every area, and this pleasure found its consumers at any time of the year.

And, if previously there were only a few owners of bath complexes, today the opening of such an establishment for both private and public use is an excellent business.

Choosing a direction

IN mandatory it all starts with choosing the concept on which the entire process will be built. There are several options - there are small private buildings, saunas of various types, baths in a barrel, and even large public institutions intended for mass visits.

You can choose any option you want - yours future project could be a sauna for family vacation, or can be a full-fledged elite complex with various types steam rooms and additional types of recreation. Each sample must be checked against a financial model that suits you, and then any business will bring profit and pleasure to regular customers.

At the initial stage, it is important to decide who will become your target audience. It is the category of people that you should focus on when creating a business plan, etc.

Selecting a bath type

Entrepreneurship today allows you to combine types, but even with this opportunity, it is necessary to fully address the needs of the audience, which may vary depending on the region. The examples provided below will allow you to select a category and properly promote it:

• The classic Russian bathhouse, to which the vast majority of people are accustomed, requires a temperature of 50 to 90 degrees, and the visitor can stay in the room for up to 25 minutes continuously. It is convenient to provide additional services here, such as massage and the use of fragrant fresh brooms.
• It is very profitable for business to open Finnish saunas with a different type of steam. The temperature here is much higher, and the residence time should not exceed ten minutes. However, additional procedures will require a separate room.
• Turkish baths are also characterized by high profitability and payback, while the walls are necessarily made of marble, and a specialized boiler is responsible for heating. The air temperature here is lower than in other types, while the humidity is much higher, which distinguishes such baths from others.

Baths can be private, where people spend time in small groups, or they can be public, where you can meet a variety of people and make acquaintances. It is convenient to provide separate women's steam rooms for the fairer sex who want to relax in privacy.

Advantages and disadvantages

You should become familiar with both the positive and negative aspects of such entrepreneurial activity.

1. It is worth organizing a bathhouse, if only because this service has always been considered extremely in demand. Regardless of the type of bathhouse, a person visits it regularly, spends holidays and birthdays here, and simply relaxes pleasantly. A bathhouse, even if there are bathrooms and summer cottages, is always popular with people of any class and financial income, so the issue of recoupment does not arise here.
2. A private bath does not require extensive land plot– you can set up such an establishment on your own land, the main thing is to competently cope with the calculations and begin construction, already having ready plan.
3. People who have organized a private bathhouse and have been its owner for many years claim that creating a business does not require large investments - just start-up capital is enough, which will be used for the manufacture and production of the bathhouse itself, the purchase of equipment and maintenance.

The main disadvantage of this area is the long payback period and high utility costs - you won’t be able to save on water.

Public baths

An entrepreneur does not always choose a scenario in which the bathhouse is private and secluded. Today, the fashion for public baths, which we know from old films and stories of the older generation, is returning. Is it profitable to create such an institution, what are the features of such an enterprise?

Today's public bath is radically different from what we were used to seeing in the days Soviet Union. The requirements for them have increased significantly, and now it is a relaxation space with a large number of steam rooms, a cozy atmosphere and a variety of services that anyone can use.

Consider these points:

• It is mandatory to have individual showers;
• in addition to steam rooms, it is necessary to provide a place for relaxation;
• It is recommended to organize a swimming pool in the building;
• You can also sell snacks and drinks here.

Here, the entrepreneur faces complex accounting, and at the initial stage a lot of calculations need to be done. But with a competent approach, the establishment will bring colossal profits. Take care of additional services that will make the client come back to you again and again, as well as polite and responsive staff that will leave a positive impression on the visitor.

Documentation

The creation of any private enterprise requires the mandatory preparation of all necessary documentation. This is the only way to ensure the legality of your business and avoid unpleasant situations that can cause serious financial damage. It is recommended to collect a package of documents in advance, since this way you will be able to open the establishment at the time strictly established by your plan and avoid additional costs.

To register a business, you will have to contact the local tax office and obtain status individual entrepreneur regarding physical culture and health organizations. In this case, you will be subject to a tax that must be paid, and you will perform all actions as an officially registered person.

Registration of an individual entrepreneur is usually quite inexpensive, is completed within three days and does not require the mandatory presence of a lawyer. Only after receiving this status can you engage in activities and open your own business.

In the future, you will have to undergo several inspections, which include sanitary-epidemiological and fire inspections. After inspection, they must issue papers confirming full compliance with the requirements, and after that your activity is considered completely safe and permitted.

Note! If your company will be engaged in the sale of food and alcoholic products, you must obtain the appropriate permissions. Otherwise, you face a fine and the inability to sell such products.

Staff

You will have to select employees with a valid health certificate, among whom will be the following professionals:

1. One or more bathhouse attendants.
2. Administrator.
3. Cleaners.
4. Kitchen staff, if available.
5. Masseur.
6. Specialist in charge of inventory.

Be sure to include in your expense item salaries workers, this will make your task much easier.

Benefit

Costs must be calculated in strict accordance with the region and the scale of the establishment. This is the only way to determine the starting capital and figure out future profits.

Initial costs include the following:

At the same time, it is worth paying attention to the purchase of all accessories for visitors, which will include brooms, bathrobes, towels and other services. If you correctly set prices for the provision of all services, including renting halls, barbecues and other opportunities, with an average workload, you will receive about 220 thousand rubles monthly, of which 70 thousand is net profit.

A bathhouse is not only a pleasure that hundreds of people have been striving for for many years, but also an opportunity to earn good money, while getting the opportunity to independently carry out wellness procedures.

The bathhouse has always been a favorite resting place for the soul and body of Russian people. It’s not for nothing that after visiting the bathhouse they still say: “It’s like being born again!”

Baths have a long history; they existed when there was no idea about running water. Therefore, bathhouses were installed where there were bodies of water, because in order to wash and steam in a bathhouse, a lot of water was required.

Bath day was something special - the whole family went to the bathhouse on this day. After the water treatments, we washed clothes.

Floating baths: construction features

Baths were not installed on water, so as not to pollute the water. But now it’s quite possible to buy and build floating bathhouses - it’s built on a pontoon, and dirty water diverted via land route. Clean water It can also be obtained directly from a reservoir using multi-level water purification.

The construction of a floating bathhouse uses a completely different construction system, fundamentally different from a bathhouse built on land. A floating sauna should be light, so light-weight materials are used for its construction.

The foundation of such a bathhouse is, in fact, a pontoon. It is made of hollow plastic or wood. The most effective and practical is a plastic pontoon.

A plastic pontoon has the following advantages:

• a light weight;
• reasonable cost;
• durability.

However, there is a main drawback - plastic is subject to deformation when low temperatures. That is why floating bathhouses are dismantled for the winter - the pontoon is pulled ashore to be moved to a warmer place for wintering.

A wooden pontoon is also used to build a bathhouse, but in this case a more precise approach to construction is required: maximum weight reduction and the use of frame installation technology.

What to consider when building and using such a bath

The size of the pontoon also depends on the weight of the bathhouse - the greater the weight of the floating building, the more impressive the dimensions of the pontoon foundation should be. Another important point- this is taking into account the weight of people who will be in the bathhouse at the same time; in addition, it is categorically unacceptable to accumulate at one point.

Concerning interior decoration baths, here you can arrange everything the same as in a regular bathhouse. The classic set of any bathhouse: dressing room, washing room, steam room - all this is feasible.
