Clothing repair business. How much can you earn in a tailoring and repairing atelier? You have many regular customers. Who are they

If you want to open a mini-studio for repairing clothes, then, of course, you must have skills in sewing. Best if you got special education. Although today the basics of cutting and sewing can be learned in courses, and even on your own. The main thing is that you are not one or the one for whom it is difficult to sew even a button, and such people, says the heroine of our article, an experienced tailor and owner of a mini-studio Lyubov Domracheva, are often met.

Love for this business is also important, because it is known that the skill of a seamstress or tailor requires patience and perseverance. Are you ready to do this every day for many hours? You should also consider the difference between tailors and seamstresses. A tailor is one who knows how to cut, draw up drawings and make patterns. Consequently, he has a better understanding of how things are sewn and can suggest more repair and tailoring options. A seamstress, as a rule, does not have such a high qualification.

Lyubov Domracheva

I studied at the lyceum for four years, mastered the basics of cutting, sewing, designing there, learned to understand fabrics. For an atelier, it is good to be able to sew both outerwear and light clothing. Although many people stop only at light clothing, because it is difficult to work with furs and leather, but I undertake. The creative component is important in our work. Creativity is needed even in repairs: there are many options, how to fix a hole in a jacket, which one is best? Sometimes other masters send their clients to me with the words: "She will figure out how to do it."

Also, to create a mini-studio, you need to have an artistic taste and a desire to improve, learn new things. fashion trends, to see what is best for the client, to be able to advise, choose the fabric, style.

How to assess the potential market, demand? There is always a demand for the services of a clothing repair studio, even in the smallest towns and poor areas.

Repair studio services are especially in demand during economically turbulent times. Older people and pensioners are hesitant to afford new clothes, therefore, they carry it for alteration in the atelier: to shorten the length according to modern fashion, to whom the collar should be altered. But you need to be prepared for the whims of customers.

One grandfather brought a jacket - sackcloth, wooden pork skin, fur from Soviet times. At first I wanted to insert a zipper, then shorten it, then sew on the pockets. He spent about 2 thousand rubles on all this, he could have added another thousand and bought himself a new jacket, but ... the thing is dear to his heart, still his father's.

How can you beat your competitors and attract people to you? At first, the heroine of our article says, only dumping, dropping prices - then the people will go. And the prices in the mini-studio today are very different: in the outlying areas from 20 rubles for sewing on a button or sewing up a small hole (they bring this too!), To 5-6 thousand rubles, if alteration of a fur coat is required. In areas where renting premises is more expensive, the cost of services will be 2-3 times higher.

At first, I would advise you to open a clothing repair shop. Because it takes a lot of time to sew clothes: take measurements, choose a model, fabric, accessories, make patterns, then numerous fittings, the whims of a client who wants to remake one thing or another ... And what will the atelier live on all this time ? If you want to start earning from the first day, then it is better to do repairs. In addition, more people are needed for a tailoring studio (at least three people), more cars- and therefore more initial investment.

If you open a mini clothing repair shop, be prepared for a variety of clients to come to you. Sometimes even schoolchildren come to our heroine, who were given the task of sewing an apron during labor lessons. Teenagers come in, whose jacket zipper breaks every now and then. Retirees are the most frequent visitors. Young women come in - to shorten, alter dresses, skirts, trousers. And do not think that rich people do not repair their clothes - there are such clients.

Investment size

Personal experience

When I opened two years ago, I had only 20 thousand rubles. I bought one sewing machine for 10,000, brought two of my machines and an iron from home, and paid 5,000 rubles for rent.

There is also the possibility to get financial assistance to start a business through the labor exchange. In Kazan, at present, after the approval of the business plan, the state issues 120 thousand rubles (excluding taxes), and the requirements are such that for two years you do not have the right to close, and you also need to periodically submit reports. With the money received, you can buy more expensive cars, as well as consumables (threads, needles, etc.).

Rent in remote areas of Kazan now costs 500 rubles per 1 sq.m., in areas with developed infrastructure - 1000 rubles per 1 sq.m. The smallest room for an atelier is 3 by 3 meters. But keep in mind that the smaller the room, the less cars you can put in it, so 10-12 squares are best: a visitor trying on a thing will also feel comfortable here.

First of all, you will need to buy one industrial machine (it costs about 20 thousand rubles), one overlocker (also about 20 thousand rubles) and one household machine for zigzags and loops (up to 10 thousand rubles).

If you want to work with furs and leather, then you can also buy cars for them in the future (second-hand ones will be cheaper). A sewing machine for knitted materials is very useful, the industrial version costs about 70 thousand rubles.

So, minimum investment in the opening of a mini-studio for the repair of clothes - 50 thousand rubles. This is taking into account the fact that you will bring a table, iron, lamps for lighting from home.

The first month I worked only for rent, while there was no clientele. If possible, you can distribute business cards, hang ads. But word of mouth works best. If you prove yourself right from the start a good master If you don’t refuse, do it quickly and on time, then people will come to you.

What are the running costs of this business? If you work alone, then most of the money goes to rent. Consumables (threads, needles, trouser tape, zippers, dublerin) are purchased every six months or a year, and they spend a little on wholesale warehouses - 2-3 thousand rubles. If you have employees, then add 10-15 thousand rubles of salary per person to the costs.

Step-by-step instruction

Although the mini-studio is a small business, it also has relationships with suppliers. Having learned about your existence, merchants of various accessories, fabrics, zippers and so on can come to you. You can negotiate with them and periodically buy the necessary goods. You can also collaborate with wholesale depots and shops.

The promotion and development of any business in the service sector, and a mini-studio is no exception, depends on the quality of work and the conscientiousness of its performer.

The mini-studio is quite suitable for working alone, but if you feel able and have a lot of clients, you can hire more employees. For example, our heroine has an assistant. You can search for employees through acquaintances, through job sites and classifieds sites. It is difficult to immediately understand how qualified a specialist came for an interview.

Personal experience

One girl told me that she also opened an atelier, but she did not succeed. I thought: it means that a person knows how to sew well. But it turned out that the person overestimated himself too much, she could not do elementary things.

Be prepared for the fact that very few young people aspire to work in the studio. Today this profession is not attractive to young people. Specialized lyceums graduate seamstresses and tailors, but most of them do not work in their specialty.

Lyubov Domracheva

owner of a mini clothing repair shop

One woman worked for me, and it happened that she did something wrong, but did not want to redo it and said: “Customers still don’t know how it should be right!” I do not agree with this approach. The client sees everything. Once my worker was lining a fur coat, everything turned out well, I checked, but the client immediately realized that it was not me who did it.

How to organize work? You can take orders and work at least every day, if you have the strength and time. Of course, such a schedule is convenient when two people work.

Where is the best place to open? It is clear that for successful work, a mini-studio needs to be opened in places with high traffic. Nearby there should be many outlets, a market, a shopping center, hairdressers and so on. The studio should be close to residential buildings- to make it convenient for people to come from home. Moreover, it doesn’t matter if you open in the shopping arcade, rent a room on the first floor of a high-rise building or stay in a trailer, it is important that people can easily find you there.

There are no special requirements for the premises. Start from ergonomics and your own ideas about convenience. Well, of course, remember that the first impression you make on the client plays a big role.

The documents

To get started, you need to register an IP. All registration costs will amount to about 2 thousand rubles, and it will take about a week to complete the registration. It is best to open as an individual entrepreneur and pay tax on imputed income (about 28 thousand rubles a year if you work alone).

Opening checklist

Is it profitable to open

Probably, there is no person who at least once did not turn to a sewing workshop to hem trousers or change a zipper. Recently, the demand for individual tailoring has also increased. About what you need to open a tailoring studio and how to write a business plan, further in the source.

Description of a sewing small business

People who have professional seamstress skills most often think about opening a sewing studio. This, of course, will help in doing business, but not enough to get a stable profit.

When we open a tailoring shop in order to generate a steady income, we must think about the direction of its work, the working space, the need for employees and ways to attract customers. In addition, define possible risks, draw up a business plan, calculate the expected income and payback period of the enterprise.

Services

Before opening a sewing workshop, it is necessary to determine the range of services provided. It can only be repairing clothes or sewing individual outfits. You can create designer clothes and immediately sell them, or engage in some narrow direction: workwear, wedding dresses, outerwear, etc.

All this affects the calculations when drawing up a business plan. For example, a repair shop can be located in a small room, and 1-2 seamstresses can handle the work. Whereas a wide-profile sewing enterprise will require the lease of large areas, the purchase of expensive equipment and the search for professional workers.

Project relevance

It is also necessary to think about whether it is profitable to open an atelier in advance. In general terms, the idea of ​​a sewing studio is actual business. After all, there are always people with a non-standard figure who find it difficult to choose clothes. Many have a special taste and do not want to dress in store models. And for some it is easier to sew an outfit for themselves that will meet all their whims. Therefore, they have only one way out - to contact the studio. But despite this, some businessmen go bankrupt.

The client base and location are of great importance for business development. Study the needs of the population in the area and the possibility of new customers.

Table: Approximate terms for organizing a tailoring studio

Risks and payback

There are always risks that the company will not make a profit or there will be few customers. To prevent this, you do not need to save on marketing operations and advertise your establishment a month before opening.

The most important thing is to provide quality services and take care of the appropriate service.

How often we are faced with a situation where the clothes that suit us and to our liking do not fit well. And if it were not for the pleat at the waist or the long sleeve, we would definitely have purchased this item. Such problems are known to each of us. So why not help other people solve them, and make money on it yourself? It is enough to open a clothing repair shop.

And it’s also unpleasant when a favorite and convenient wardrobe item suddenly fails - it appears minor defect. But the thing is good, on the whole new, I would still wear and wear. This is where the services of clothing repair masters come in handy. And organizing such an enterprise is not difficult. What exactly is needed to open a sewing and repair business, and in what sequence to do everything, read below.

Choose a profile


The very first step is planning. Before you open an atelier, you need to choose the direction of its activity, determine the list of services. You can only do repairs or include tailoring in the list of services. The experience of practitioners shows that it is more profitable to choose a mixed direction. So you definitely will not be left without orders.

Tailoring is a niche more profitable than repair. But there are more risks of "burning out" here. To sew clothes to order, you need high-class craftsmen. If for the repair of clothes it is enough to hire a few seamstresses of an average level, then for individual tailoring it is necessary to attract high-class cutters and fashion designers. And there will be much more requirements for seamstresses.

Tailoring requires more specialized equipment. This means that the starting capital, before opening your own studio, will have to collect a more impressive one. And even if all these requirements are met, the risk of being left without customers is much greater than in the case of clothing repair.

After all, repairs are a frequent household need, and individual tailoring is an exclusive service. And not cheap, so not everyone can afford it. And those who can afford it make high demands on the atelier.

Registering your business

Atelier as a business is subject to mandatory state registration. The optimal form of activity is IP. It simplifies tax reporting and bookkeeping. Having chosen the form, we register it with the local tax authorities.

Particular attention should be paid to the choice of OKVED codes. The main code for sewing workshop services is 93.5. If your specialization is exclusively repair, then your second code is 52.74. Those who will be engaged in tailoring need to include a few more codes in the list. They are chosen depending on the specifics of the service.

Having dealt with the codes, you should perform 2 more mandatory steps:

  1. Register with PF.
  2. Get "go-ahead" in the bodies of Rosportebnadzor.
  3. Obtain a permit to work in the selected premises from the State Fire Supervision.

Having learned the legal subtleties of the question “How to open an atelier?”, We turn to at least milestone- location of the enterprise.

Where to locate your studio


The place is worth seeing in advance. Hold off on buying a property. At first, it is better to place the studio in a rented room. Then if something goes wrong, it will be easy to change the location.

An important factor in choosing a room is the active flow of people. Premises in shopping centers are good in this regard. Especially if there are clothes and fabric stores nearby. Then the flow of potential customers will be large. Also beneficial effect will have proximity to other workshops: shoes, keys, umbrellas, etc.

Aspiring entrepreneurs usually make do with a small space. To begin with, an area of ​​​​15 to 30 sq.m. will suffice. Then the rent will not be too high. The estimated cost of a monthly lease for such a small room is 40-50 thousand rubles.

Keep in mind that in the studio you will still have to separate a place for a fitting room. It may just be a corner fenced off by a screen.

On what we will sew and repair clothes

On the modern market observed big choice modern equipment for tailoring and repairing clothes. But don't buy everything at once. Clearly define the list of services and select the most necessary equipment in accordance with it.

For the studio you will need:

  • Straight line machine.

It performs basic work on tailoring and repairing clothes. It is more profitable to take models with many functions (20 or more). They will need 2-3 pieces. About 60 thousand rubles will go to this.

  • Sewing machine.

People will definitely come to the studio with the need to hem trousers, skirts, sleeves. Such work is carried out on special equipment.

  • Overlock.

Needed to quickly process the edges of the fabric. It will cost 12-15 thousand rubles.

  • Cutting table.
  • Ironing press (or board).
  • Steam iron.

For sewing, you still need to buy a lot of different small accessories. Such as scissors, patterns, zippers, needles and threads, rulers, thimbles, tapes for measuring, etc. You cannot do without this in your work.

If buying everything new is too expensive, there are 2 options for saving.

  1. Sewing equipment can be rented.
  2. Buy already used.

As for the second option, it is associated with considerable risk. Often, used devices, without having time to really use them, have to be taken in for repair. And its cost is quite high.

The standard set of specialized equipment is listed above. In addition to him, the studio still needs to be furnished with standard equipment. These are tables and chairs for seamstresses, coat hangers, hangers, furniture for rest and lunch.

Highly important point– selection lighting fixtures. It affects both the quality of work and the health of the staff. For people who are engaged in tailoring and repairing clothes, good lighting is a must. In the premises of the repair studio, sufficient quality lamps should be installed and ceiling lights. And where there are many lamps, there must be fire extinguishers. How many you need depends on the size of the room.

For settlements with buyers, the atelier usually does not set cash registers. They are replaced by the issuance of receipts. Stock up on receipt forms in advance.

How to staff a workshop


Whether the atelier will develop as a business depends on the professionalism of its employees. Therefore, spare no time and effort to find qualified personnel. Your staff should be able not only to sew well, but also to communicate with customers. Many entrepreneurs prefer to look for seamstresses among friends or on their recommendations.

Capable guys are also found among students who study sewing skills in educational institutions. Don't let your lack of experience scare you. But they have a lot of interest and enthusiasm. And there is the ability to sew. They should be given a chance and opportunity to gain experience from senior colleagues by setting a time for a probationary period.

The number of employees depends on the direction and scale of the enterprise. At first, a small atelier will need at least 2 seamstresses. For better motivation they are paid a rate and a percentage of the number of completed orders. Over time, as customers are added, the staff will expand.

Set up customer flow

The first thing to take care of is the sign. Let it be big, bright, noticeable from afar. Put up promotional posters around the area before opening. Effective measure– flyers with a discount to the bearer. This will attract the first visitors and customers.

The flow of customers directly depends on the mode of operation of the institution. Think about the work schedule even before you open the atelier. It is important that you have it open at the time when the standard working day ends (at 5-6 pm). Then, returning home, many people will be able to come to you. It is no coincidence that sewing workshops work for a long time - from 9 am to 8 pm.

Business consultants who know how to open a tailoring and repair shop recommend a tricky trick for promoting a tailoring business - partnering with nearby clothing and fabric stores. Tell them about your services and ask them to recommend the atelier to clients who need tailoring and tailoring. And your customers will increase significantly.

Come up with a system of motivation for partners. These can be large discounts on your services, gifts for the holidays, cash rewards. For example, give them a certain % of the order or pay bonuses for each new client.

Often stores agree to cooperate without motivation. After all, thanks to the services of the studio, they can give the client turnkey solution his problems. And having a decision, the buyer agrees to take the product more willingly, even if it does not fit in size and needs filing. In this way, the store increases sales. And your partnership is only to his advantage.

Initial investment and expected return


For those who are interested in how to open their own tailoring shop, it is important to know the size start-up capital. Let's calculate the initial investment.

Table. Capital investments

So, in the business of tailoring and repairing clothes, you first need to invest 200 thousand rubles. A small workshop handles 10-15 orders daily. Repair services usually cost around 100-300 rubles. For individual tailoring, they take from 2 thousand rubles. Of course, the price depends on the complexity of the work in each case.

At first, the studio earns from 70 thousand rubles. every month. Having gained momentum, it reaches a monthly income of up to 300 thousand rubles. And that's just for clothing repairs. If the workshop is still actively engaged in tailoring to order, you can receive 900 thousand rubles for these services. every month.

As you can see, opening a clothing repair shop is profitable and quite simple. The owner's expenses pay off in 10-12 months after opening.

According to some reports, household services are growing annually by 10%. Of these, the share of services related to the tailoring and knitting of knitwear accounts for about 8% of the total volume of household services. Of course, tailoring and clothing repair will always be in demand, although this market can be considered crowded. The services of a sewing studio today are more often resorted to by people who have high requirements for clothes, who are ready to pay extra, so long as trousers or a skirt fit their figure as best as possible. If you decide to try your luck at tailoring and repairing clothes, then you need to be prepared for serious competition for a client. This is especially true for large cities. In provincial towns the situation for opening an atelier is more or less favorable. But the demand, as well as the average bill, is much lower there. The profitability of the studio, according to different estimates is 10 - 30%.

Price list of services atelier for tailoring and repairing clothes

How do tailoring and repair shops make money? Here is just a partial list of what such an organization can offer clients:

  • Replacement of lightning - from 300 to 800 rubles. depending on the product. For leather products, replacing a zipper can cost more than 1000 rubles.
  • Darning, stripes - 250 - 350 rubles.
  • Liquid leather, repair of breakouts on leather products - from 300 rubles.
  • Repair of sleeves (shorten, lengthen, change the width, etc.) - from 250 rubles.
  • shorten/lengthen bottom outerwear- from 500 r. depending on the product.
  • Adjustment to the shape of outerwear (collar recutting, stitching on the sides of the seam, eyelet correction, etc.) - from 400 rubles.
  • Repair and manufacture of pockets - from 150 rubles.
  • Steaming - from 100 r.
  • Minor repairs (making a belt loop, sewing on shoulder pads, making a loop, etc.) - from 30 rubles.

The most expensive services where you can earn decent money are the repair of fur products. Fur coats from rare breeds of animals, as you know, are not cheap and repairs, respectively, too. For example, a regular sewing of a sleeve with a cuff will cost the client at least 2500 rubles, and in some cases even 5000 rubles. True, the repair of fur products is somewhat seasonal (clients come mainly in autumn and winter). For children's clothing, as a rule, serious ateliers make a 30% discount from the price list. This allows you to significantly increase the authority of the organization (after all, children's clothes are not so big and it is easier to work with them).

Production plan

What is the advantage of an atelier as a business - it does not need large areas. The main thing is that three components are successfully placed in the room:

  1. Seamstress workplace
  2. Fitting area (closed booth)
  3. Desk for orders (and trading place)

That's why the best option there will be a selection of premises with an area of ​​​​25 - 35 square meters. m., no more. It makes no sense to overpay for extra square meters. Also, do not rent places in shopping centers. It's too expensive. For the services of repair and tailoring, people will go to an ordinary, even a semi-basement room. Excessive luxury in design, as well as the passability of the object, do not play a decisive role. Although accommodation in close proximity to a large shopping center or clothing market will be a great advantage. Since people who bought clothes and need additional services will certainly be sent to you. The maximum rent that a beginner atelier can afford is 500 rubles. per sq. m. (2018).

What equipment to choose for the studio

The next important point in the business plan is the choice of equipment. A balanced approach is also needed here, so as not to overpay for unnecessary and not entirely necessary devices. According to statistics, studios do not use their equipment to 100%, so it makes no sense to buy expensive devices from well-known brands. Especially when investments to start a business are sharply limited. According to the preliminary plan for business, you will need:

  1. Straight-through lockstitch machine (for example, JACK JK 8720H). To it, you will also need to purchase additional accessories in the form of needles for fabrics, shuttles, bobbins, oil, etc.
  2. Overlock 4-thread. It is desirable to take a high-speed overlock with a capacity of 6000 st / min.
  3. Blind stitch machine
  4. Straight stitch machine with double advance. Such a device will be required to work with heavy products such as sheepskin coats, jeans, as well as leather products.
  5. Loop machine
  6. button machine
  7. Furrier machine for working with fur
  8. Ironing equipment - steam generator and ironing board.
  9. Work table and chairs
  10. Fitting room equipment (mirror, chair, screen)
  11. Auxiliary equipment, as well as accessories (scissors, buttons, threads, rulers, etc.)

If you try and, if possible, take some devices in b. u., then you can meet 300 - 400 thousand rubles.

Which OKVED to indicate when registering a business

Main code: OKVED code 52.74, which covers the repair of household and personal items. Some additional codes that also need to be specified if the atelier will produce these types of clothing or accessories:

  • finished textile products, except clothing - 17.40;
  • knitwear: vests, jumpers, jackets, cardigans and the like - 17.72;
  • outerwear - 18.22;
  • other clothing and accessories − 18.24
  • headgear - 18.24.4.

And also 51.42.5 - wholesale trade in clothing accessories and headwear.

What documents are needed to open

Since it is best to register an individual entrepreneurship for this kind of business, you will need a passport, an application for state registration, a receipt for payment of state duty, as well as a copy of the TIN certificate.

Recruitment for work in the atelier (sewing workshop)

Staff. Here the situation may develop in different ways. If initially you plan to open a small studio that will serve the advantage of a separate area of ​​​​the city, then the staff will be minimal. In most cases, it is enough to hire a clothing repairman and an atelier administrator who will take orders, purchase materials, etc. The master’s salary will consist of a small salary, plus a percentage of the completed order (approximately 30 - 40 thousand rubles per month). Administrators, as a rule, receive a full salary: 20 - 25 thousand rubles. per month. Be sure to read the article How to hire an employee step-by-step instruction ". If a slightly more “powerful” project is opened, then the employees also include cutters for tailoring, tailors - generalists, seamstresses (they are also universal masters). The wage fund naturally increases to 150 - 200 thousand rubles. per month. Such a sewing studio needs a constant flow of customers, which is extremely difficult to earn from the first days. This already requires an appropriate reserve fund and readiness for big losses for business development. Therefore, the more correct way is to start small, and, as necessary, expand, purchase optional equipment and increase the workforce.

What taxation system to choose for opening an atelier

Now for the business registration. This question can also confuse novice "businessmen". What to register an individual entrepreneur or an LLC right away? How to prepare documents which tax regime to choose? And so on and so forth. An inexperienced entrepreneur can have a head spin. In fact, everything is extremely simple. If you open a business one (one), then you do not need anything other than an individual entrepreneur at the initial stage. Go to the tax office and in 5 days (this is how much the tax office checks your documents for registration) become an individual entrepreneur (for more details, see the article " Individual entrepreneurship- the procedure for registering an individual entrepreneur“), having spent only 800 rubles of state duty on “everything about everything”. If you decide to open in partnership with someone, then here already without the status of an LLC, that is legal entity not enough. It is not advisable to hang all the responsibilities and risks on a specific person (which happens in the case of an individual entrepreneur). As a tax regime, the classic “simplification”, that is, the simplified tax system, is perfect. At your discretion, you can choose two options: pay monthly 6% of the revenue or 15% of the studio's profit. Which option is better? Everything needs to be calculated. If the costs are high, then it is better to choose the option with 15% of the profit. The transition to the simplified tax system must be made immediately after the registration of the IP (the transition is carried out upon application). Otherwise, you will remain on the "classic", with all the ensuing costs.

Do I need permission to open

The following licenses and registrations are required:

  • Registration in the territorial office of the Pension Fund;
  • Work permit of Rospotrebnadzor;
  • Permission of the State Fire Supervision Authority to operate in this room.

Technology of tailoring or repairing clothes and accessories

Depending on the concept of the atelier, the further technological course of the enterprise will depend. If the specialization is aimed at tailoring uniforms or overalls, this requires long-term contracts, both with suppliers and for the sale of products. If the calculation of profit goes to a client with individual orders, here you need to focus on unique fittings, cuts and materials for making clothes or household textiles. Accordingly, the classiness of the studio workers is selected.

Financial plan

And so, let's calculate the estimated income and payback of a small studio, opened in a residential area of ​​​​the city on an area of ​​25 square meters. m. The population of the city is 250,000 inhabitants, the average salary is 18,000 rubles. Initial data:

  • Room area - 25 sq. m.
  • Rent per month - 12 500 rubles.
  • Number of permanent employees - 3 people.
  • Tax regime - USN, 6% of revenue

How much money do you need to open an atelier (sewing workshop)

  • Cosmetic repairs (wallpaper, lighting, ventilation) - 100,000 rubles.
  • Purchase of equipment and Supplies(accessories) - 350,000 rubles.
  • Advertising expenses - 30,000 rubles.
  • Business registration - 1 500 rubles.
  • Other expenses - 25,000 rubles.
  • Reserve fund - 150,000 rubles.

Total - 681 500 rubles.

Studio monthly expenses

  • Rent - 12 500 rubles.
  • Salary - 90,000 rubles.
  • Deductions to off-budget funds - 30,000 rubles.
  • Accounting (outsourcing) - 6,000 rubles
  • Utility expenses (electricity, water, heating) - 8,000 rubles.
  • Consumables - 10,000 rubles.
  • Advertising - 5 000 rubles.
  • Other expenses - 15,000 rubles.

Total - 176 500 rubles.

How much can you earn by opening an atelier (sewing workshop)

  • Average bill - 700 rubles.
  • The average number of clients per day is 20 people.
  • Revenue per day - 14,000 rubles.
  • Working days in a month - 22
  • Revenue per month - 308,000 rubles.

Calculation of net profit: Profit before tax will be: 308,000 (revenue) - 176,500 (expenses) = 131,500 rubles. Tax (STS, 6% of revenue) is 18,480 rubles. From here, the net profit will be: 131,500 - 18,480 = 113,020 rubles. We have given the calculations taking into account the fact that the studio has reached its design capacity, in other words, it has become popular among customers. This can take, according to various estimates, from 6 to 12 months. Therefore, the return on investment in the business, taking into account the above calculations, will come no earlier than in 11 - 17 months.

General characteristics of the project (description of the company and services provided)

Premises for business organization

The search for a suitable location should meet the following factors:

  • Location in a residential area of ​​the city, or in a large mall. The advantage of the latter option is the high traffic of such establishments. In addition, when buying clothes, people want to put them on right away, but often small “fits” for a specific figure are needed, for example, hemming the length, for example, of jeans or trousers. But this location imposes some restrictions on the specifics of the atelier, consisting in the provision of precisely minor repairs and tailoring of things. It is unlikely that the shopping center will order tailoring to order. In addition, the cost of rent in the shopping center is much higher than in a separate building.
  • First or ground floor building. Any stairs are potential obstacles for clients, so the location of the studio on the floors above the first is a possible loss of visitors;
  • Location of the entrance from a busy street;
  • Availability of several parking spaces;
  • Possibility of installation of a sign of the necessary sizes;
  • Area not less than 20 sq. meters with the possibility of dividing into 3 main areas: a working room, a fitting room, and a room for receiving clients. After achieving certain results in business, the area of ​​​​the premises can be increased;
  • If it is possible to open an atelier next to existing clothing or fabric stores, or shoe repair shops, this will be a definite plus.
  • The premises must comply with the requirements of Rospotrebnadzor and the GPN, which will determine its readiness for work and draw up an act-conclusion.

Decoration of the studio

An important condition for the comfort of clients in the studio is visual perception. interior design. What do ordinary sewing studios look like? Carelessly laid out everywhere, only things of clients, mountains of shreds, cuts of fabrics, spare parts for sewing machines, etc. are possible. What client wants to come back here again?

Another thing is if a small amount of redecorating, mirrors are hung on the walls, a TV is hanging, placed cushioned furniture, there will be fashion magazines on the coffee tables. You can install a cooler, equip a small stand with recommendations on how to choose the right clothes so that they emphasize or vice versa, hide the outlines of the figure.

From such trifles, a positive impression of the client about the image of the atelier is formed, and it will be possible to say with confidence that in the event of a need, a person will no longer doubt where to go to resolve his issue.

Staff

The number of staff will directly depend on the number of clients, therefore, in the first six months of the atelier's work, the staff will consist of:

  • 1 cutter-universal capable of cutting both the top and light clothing both for men and women;
  • 2 seamstresses, concurrently taking turns performing the duties of a cleaning lady;
  • Administrative director (his role can be performed personally by the owner of the atelier at the stage of business formation), taking orders, fashion designer, marketing director, etc.

The main criteria in the selection of personnel are the availability of sufficient qualifications, experience, responsibility, and decency. The remuneration of the staff of a sewing studio is often formed according to the “rate + percentage of the order amount” scheme (usually 15-30%).

The employment contract should Special attention give paragraph liability employees. Often, clients bring expensive things to the studio for repair, or material for tailoring, and in case of damage to the order, the employee must be fully responsible for his mistakes.

Business registration

As a type of doing business, it will be possible to issue an IP, or register an LLC.

OKVED codes to open a studio:

  • 93.5 - Providing other personal services to the public (it will act as the main code);
  • 18.2 - Sewing clothes from textile materials and clothing accessories;
  • 18.21 - Tailoring of overalls;
  • 18.22 - Tailoring of outerwear;
  • 18.24 - Tailoring of other clothes and accessories for it;
  • 52.74 - repair of household products, as well as items for personal use, not included in other groups.

The possible choice of the taxation system is represented by 2 most optimal regimes: STS and UTII. If desired, you can combine these two types of taxation.

For presentation to Rospotrebnadzor, agreements must be concluded with the relevant services for:

  • Removal of household waste;
  • Carrying out sanitary and epidemiological procedures in the studio at a certain time interval;

Each employee must have a personal medical book with an up-to-date mark on passing the hygienic test according to the sanitary minimum. For verification, internal registers of disinfectants, movements household waste, etc.

This business does not require significant investments, and pays off relatively quickly, but these factors do not at all relieve those who want to start a business from the need to draw up a business plan for a tailoring and repairing atelier.

The economic crisis that occurred in the country in 2014 “cleansed” the market for the provision of sewing services from “random” people and unscrupulous entrepreneurs in it, and at present the level of competition for small businesses in the clothing industry is relatively low.

marketing plan

Today, the state of the consumer market for sewing services is experiencing some difficulties in attracting customers on the one hand, and the possibility of a potential rise on the other. People have become more selective in their spending, citing a decrease in income against the backdrop of a general increase in prices, but they also try to use things, in this case, wear clothes to the end, i.e. repair it instead of buying a new one.

Statistics for the last 3 incomplete years (since the introduction of sanctions against Russia) show that over the past period of time the ratio of closed sewing studios to those opened is approximately 5:2. There have also been fundamental changes in the specifics of services. If until 2014 the order for tailoring was very popular, now the demand for clothing repair has increased. The exceptions are well-known model houses and eminent couturiers.

In itself, opening a sewing studio from scratch requires minimum expenses. An economy-class establishment serving low- and middle-income customers can start operating at 7-10 sq. meters of the room, having a couple of old sewing machines in its “armament”. As the “promotion” of the atelier “acquires” a client base, popularity, acquires new equipment, and increases the staff.

The main advantage in the competitive struggle of sewing ateliers has now become the professionalism of its staff. If a few years earlier some workshops could refuse complex orders, or perform them not as well as the customer would like, now, in tough economic conditions, the number of “hacks” has been weeded out, and the remaining fashion designers compete with each other in the art of tailoring .

  • pillow restoration

The complexity of orders entails the need for qualified personnel. Now, few craftsmen will be able to turn the product, replace the lining in the coat, or eliminate the wear of the fur. Besides this work requires special equipment.

The owners of the atelier, or those responsible for marketing and working with clients, should look for customers (namely, look for, and not wait for the person to come to the establishment!) Not only among people “from the street” and acquaintances. Large orders to positively proven ateliers come from various dance groups, theaters, and collectors. Uniforms and military clothing, etc. are in great demand.

To form a consumer opinion about the studio and attract the client mass, it is necessary to carry out the following activities:

  • Place advertisements in public and specialized local print media and on TV;
  • Place ads in secondary schools that train seamstresses, dressmakers, and cutters;
  • Create your own website describing the services and prices of the atelier;
  • Distribution of leaflets, flyers;
  • Periodically hold various promotions, introduce a discount system.

Do not forget the owner of the atelier himself and bring to the consciousness of each employee that the most the best advertisement- this is a high-quality order, the salary of all employees depends on it.
