Despite the global crisis, the construction of not only industrial facilities, but also cottage settlements, shops, offices and just private houses is increasing in Russia. In this regard, electrical work is in great demand. Without electricity, a person becomes helpless and vulnerable. Judge for yourself, all human activity is associated with electricity: water in the water supply, lighting, cooking, the work of various household appliances and much more. A business built on electrical work is an indicator of the well-being of the entire region. 
But, starting any business, it is very important to weigh the pros and cons, to study the market, and the business plan of the electrical installation company helps in this.
The business plan of the enterprise is the basis of the work of any company.
What is the benefit of having a business plan?
Before starting any business, and even more so a business, you need to soberly assess your capabilities. It is necessary to outline goals and ways to implement them. By composing it, you can take another look at future organization works as if from the outside.
When studying the market, you need to understand what electrical installation services are missing. You should not fight with competitors at the initial stage. Ideally, if in the type of work that you are going to offer, you have no direct competitors. If there are competitors, it is advisable to offer more wide range services than theirs.
When drawing up a business plan for electrical work, it is extremely important to study the purchasing opportunities of your settlement... Will people be able to pay for the services offered? At this stage, it is important to study the work of large companies in your locality. It is also helpful to learn about future construction projects, large and small.
Only on the basis of all these data can a business plan for organizing work on electrical installation be drawn up.

Choosing the direction of electrical work
There are two main options for organizing electrical work.
The first way is easier and does not require large material costs... It consists of providing services to the population for the installation, repair and maintenance of various household appliances. Today, this can bring good income, since the equipment is offered very diverse and its installation requires professional knowledge.
For example, advertised hobs, various built-in kitchen appliances require a special connection. They cannot be brought home and plugged in. If you correctly place advertisements in home appliance stores, make advertisements in the form of leaflets in mailboxes, and much more, it is quite possible to get good income.
The second way is more costly, complicated, but also more interesting and creative. The work consists in organizing the development of electrification systems for construction projects, directly in electrical installation work and subsequent maintenance.

Business organization legal regulations
You will have to choose from only two options: to become an individual entrepreneur or to organize a limited liability company (LLC).
I would like to advise you to opt for LLC, as in in this case you will have much more opportunities to develop your business. Various tenders, according to inexorable statistics, are won by "LLC".
To register a limited liability company, you need to have capital in the amount of 10 thousand rubles, the Charter, the minutes of the meeting of all founders, a receipt of the state duty, the required package of documents, an application in the form of R11001, the OKVED code for electrical work - 45.31. You can contact a company that specializes in registration, thus you will save your time and nerves. Bureaucracy in our country is not asleep.
Licensing is no longer required. But this does not mean that everything has become easy and simple. Those firms that are going to engage in electrical installation at construction sites are required to join self-regulatory organizations (SRO).
By joining the SRO, you are guaranteed to get a permit to work, you will not encounter many pitfalls, you will be able to use uniform standards. Only membership in a self-regulatory organization will allow you to work at large industrial facilities and, accordingly, receive good profit... Everything is very positive, but it is not clear why joining an SRO costs a rather large sum? Let's hope this is a temporary misunderstanding.
But if you do not set such goals in your organization of electrical work, if you plan to serve smaller objects: shops, cafes, apartments, cottages, offices and the like, then you do not need any admission.

Personnel requirements
The staff is the most important factor in any organization, it depends on him whether your business will flourish or fail.
If we approach the selection of personnel by state standards, then a special professional education is required. Admission of 3 groups for electrical safety is imperative.
You, as the head of a young company, must understand that it is absolutely forbidden to recruit people from the street according to advertisements in the newspaper! Electrical work is fraught with so many subtleties that you can determine whether the person who came to you has them or not, later, when troubles with clients begin and your nascent reputation creeps down.
Who you will be working with you must think before creating the organization of the electrical work. After all, a strong backbone of reliable professionals is the key to success. Neither diplomas nor work experience will help. Only recommendations from well-known people. Only reviews from the previous place of work. except professional qualities, a person must have tact, consistency, be honest and very responsible.
Do not forget that at any object, be it private house or an office, it is your employee who can face a capricious customer. Who doesn't know what he wants. And how your employee handles such a situation will speak not only in his favor, but also work in the name of your company.
I would like to note that a competent accountant is also necessary.

Industrial premises and transport
Electrical work requires a warehouse to store cable coils, stairs, light boxes and much more. Any garage is suitable for this. If you or your closest helper have such a room, you will not have to pay rent.
An office is not needed at first. It is always best to talk to customers and prospective clients on their premises. An accountant can work at home. This is a huge cost savings.
But the choice of a vehicle should be approached with all seriousness. It should be not only roomy, but also reliable car... On it you will have to transport building materials and workers. Electrical work often takes place at construction sites, outside the city, in nearby villages and small towns. Therefore, a passenger car is unlikely to suit you, the car needs a reliable and passable one.
Electrical work is an integral part of any type of construction and repair work. The business of providing such services is profitable and viable. Regardless of the crisis in the country, residents will always need electricity. At the same time, it is not easy to become a successful owner of such a company. The business plan of the electrical installation firm must be detailed, and the requirements for the organization must be strictly adhered to. In addition, such a project is very costly, and its organization requires an investment of time and effort. To avoid problems, it is better to use a ready-made business plan with calculations and adapt it to your own company.
Opening your own electrical installation company is a guarantee of good earnings, because everyone uses electricity
Required documents for business registration
In order to engage in electrical work, it is enough to register with the Federal Tax Service of Russia as an individual entrepreneur. But in this case, the scope of services provided will be limited, and the income will be minimal. This option is suitable for aspiring entrepreneurs who are not sure that they will be able to successfully enter the market.
How to open an IP for electrical work
Registration of an individual entrepreneur for electrical installation is no more difficult than for any other type of activity. First you need to fill out an application, and so that there are no mistakes or blots in it. He, as well as his passport, a receipt for payment of the duty and an application for switching to the simplified tax system (if desired) should be submitted to tax authority at the place of registration. After 5 days, you will be issued a document confirming the right to conduct business. After that, you need to open a current account in any bank and order your own seal.
To conduct some types of electrical work, you will need to additionally obtain a certificate of competence, which is issued by Rostekhnadzor for 3 years on a voluntary request. On the website of this body, you can study the list of required papers and complete list works for the implementation of which a certificate is required.
If you decide to open an electrical installation company, be prepared for the fact that you will have to walk a lot.
How to open an LLC for electrical installation
More experienced entrepreneurs can register a company as a limited liability company. This will require a larger number of documents, but it will make it possible to join the SRO (self-regulatory organizations). This will allow in the future to cooperate with the largest construction and repair companies, suppliers, and will also give the right to participate in various auctions.
The package of documents submitted to the tax service for opening an LLC must include:
- Prepared by-laws of the company;
- Bank statement on deposit authorized capital;
- Application of the established form;
- Order on the appointment of a director;
- Receipt for payment of the state fee.
Filling out an application for opening a company for the provision of electrical services is not difficult, so in general, paperwork will not take much time. At the same time, you will not have to obtain a special license for electrical work. Additionally, the businessman provides a package of documents confirming that the company is located in an existing building with a real legal address.
Remember that the execution of all documents can be entrusted to specialists. It will cost money, but it will help save time and hassle.
V last years the tax service is very strict about the confirmation of legal addresses, so there must be an open office at the place of registration, and the company itself must have cooperation agreements with service organizations. If, having come by legal address, a tax representative will find closed door, and no one will be able to confirm to him that such a company really operates in this place, he can refuse to register an LLC on completely legal grounds.
To become a member of an SRO, you will also need to collect some documents, namely:
- Application for membership in SRO;
- Insurance;
- Documents confirming the registration of the company;
- Constituent documents;
- Licenses to conduct certain types of activities;
- Documents confirming the qualifications of the company's employees;
- Labor contracts;
- Information about the property of the company;
- Other papers.
It is better to request a complete list of documents for performing electrical work directly at the SRO Association.
Requirements for the location and equipment of the organization
An electrical installation company does not have to have its own roomy office. As a rule, a meeting with clients ordering electrician services, installation of electrical wiring and other types of work takes place at the customer's site. Small company It may well work without an office, but in this case, finding clients will be difficult.
In order to find customers, but at the same time not spend a lot of money on the arrangement of the office, you can rent a small room for receiving visitors. It is also necessary to organize a warehouse in which equipment, materials, etc. will be placed. A small company will have enough room of 10 meters in size, so it will not require serious expenses.
Most of the electrical companies that work only with individuals do not have an office at all. it good way save money, but such a company looks undignified
If you plan to open an electrical installation company big size, capable of receiving orders from large construction projects, its owner should better take care of renting a good office. This should be a spacious room that contains a place for a manager's work, a room for electricians, a warehouse and other needs. Keep in mind that the minimum area of such an office should be 40 m2, since this point is extremely important for tax officials even at the stage of LLC registration. The cost of renting a room of this size will amount to an average of 30 thousand rubles per month.
You can save on the location of the organization. There is no need for high cross-country ability or proximity to major transport lines. Large clients in the construction business are always representatives of private or public companies, and cooperation with them often begins with tenders and auctions. Therefore, customer representatives can come to any part of the city. As for customers ordering electrical work for their apartment or private house, it is easier for them to call and invite specialists to their territory, so they will come to the office twice: to conclude an agreement and final settlements.
As for the purchase of furniture for the premises and carrying out repairs in it, it is not necessary to show off here. It is quite possible to get by with a modest set: workplace for the manager, a computer with the ability to design, a place for fitters to rest and a warehouse. It is unlikely that the cost will exceed 100-150 thousand rubles.
One of the advantages of an electrical installation company is that there is no need to arrange an office
Choosing a car for a company
In addition to the premises, for the productive work of the employees of the electrical installation company, you will need a good roomy car. You will not find a single example of a business plan for such a company that does not include this cost item. This is due to the fact that work is always carried out with big amount equipment and materials, some of which are large. They can be delivered to the place of electrical installation only by our own transport. For these purposes, at least, you will have to purchase a minivan or station wagon. Some entrepreneurs prefer to rent a car for the first time, but sooner or later they will have to get their own.
When choosing a model and brand, you should pay attention to the possibility of simultaneously transporting a folding ladder, a box with consumables and tools, as well as the installers themselves. In addition, the car must freely pass to construction sites, many of which are not prepared for the passage of cars. It is not economically feasible to purchase a completely new car, as well as an old one that requires frequent repairs. In the first case, the recoupment of the acquisition will come after a very long time. In the second, the need for frequent repairs will bring additional losses and delays in the delivery of objects.
average cost a used car that meets all the requirements is 400 thousand rubles. If this amount exceeds the available budget, you can rent a car on a lease basis. This will distribute the costs evenly over several months. Please note that you need to choose a leasing company very carefully.
Presentable car is a step towards the company's success
Purchase of tools and equipment
One of the most important and expensive items of expenditure in a business plan for an electrical installation company with calculations is a professional tool and equipment. You cannot save on this point, since a poor-quality tool will quickly fail, creating additional problems during the workflow. The minimum set that you need to purchase if a company starts from scratch includes:
- signaling devices;
- voltage indicators;
- hammer drills and electric drills;
- screwdrivers;
- wall chasers;
- stepladders;
- overalls;
- hand sets.
The number of tool kits should correspond to the number of work teams. The average cost of equipment in 2018 is about 100 thousand rubles per 1 brigade.
Also, before opening a company, you will have to thoroughly purchase consumables. For work you will need:
- cable of different cross-sections;
- corrugated pipe;
- installation and distribution boxes;
- insulating tape;
- counters and shields;
- automatic machines;
- sockets;
- switches;
- residual current devices, etc.
Most of them will be purchased specifically for the fulfillment of each order, but it is still better to store some of them in the warehouse just in case. Advance purchase will shorten the lead time, because you can purchase consumables from wholesale suppliers who need time to form and deliver products.
Pay attention to the quality of the material before purchasing. If you purchase a product of poor quality, you may encounter constant breakdowns and alterations during the warranty period. If the budget of the company for electrical work allows, it is better to pay attention to the materials, the manufacturers of which are the most famous in the market. If you need to save money, you can pay attention to alternative items with a lower price.
The total cost of equipment and materials (subject to the work of two teams of assemblers) can be about 300 thousand rubles or more. This amount is very relative and depends both on the types of work performed and on the selected material.
The team must bring all the necessary tools with them
Requirements for the personnel of the electrical installation company
It will not work to hire a person from the street. The law very rigidly dictates the rules that must be followed by the owner of such a company when hiring people. Finding the right talent can be time-consuming, so it is best to leave your recruiting to a professional recruiter. If you decide to take this job on yourself, then keep in mind a few important points:
- The candidate must have at least a Level 3 electrical safety clearance. This means that the installer has the right to single-handedly carry out the connection, maintenance, inspection and disconnection of electrical installations from the network, the voltage in which does not exceed 1000 V. In this case, the specialist's certificate must be valid, and the employee himself must periodically undergo a knowledge test;
- The candidate must have positive reviews with previous place work. Ideally, the owner of the firm should give preference to those job seekers, whose work he saw personally;
- The electrical knowledge gained during training is often insufficient. The profession of an electrician involves constant gaining of experience. If an employee has been out of work for too long or has been engaged in a non-core business for some time, it is better to refuse to hire him or offer him to undergo qualification training. Only an experienced specialist will be able to adequately respond to an unforeseen situation that has arisen;
- An employee working at the customer's site must be able to interact with people, be friendly and capable of giving competent explanations to questions that arise. This forms the trust of customers to the entire company as a whole, which means that the arrival of new customers is guaranteed;
- It is important that there are no people with bad habits among the installers;
- Important appearance candidates. There is a prejudice about workers in our country: they are considered alcohol-prone, dirty and simply irresponsible. Neatness, responsibility and politeness are indispensable qualities for every electrician. It is these qualities that form the perception of the company's employees as professionals in their field, who can be entrusted with orders from large clients.
Of course, employees who meet the listed requirements require good payment for their services, but at the same time, it depends on them how many orders will be executed daily, and whether satisfied customers will advise the company to their friends, acquaintances and business partners.
Remember that the specialist is the face of the company. He must be neat, polite and responsible.
If the task is to find suitable people seems overwhelming, it is worth contacting HR specialists. At the stage of opening a company, they will prepare a series of questions for candidates and conduct an initial interview, which will allow us to weed out inappropriate personnel. Typically, candidate questionnaires include questions to identify the level of knowledge in the field of general electrical engineering, knowledge of the operating procedure and maintenance equipment, safety and first aid. A person who is far from electrical installation will definitely not be able to pass testing on these topics, so you will be confident in the theoretical professionalism of a potential employee.
But even this careful selection does not guarantee that the candidate has practical skills. That is why every employee must be tested. probationary period... During the internship, the installer must be under constant supervision, because one mistake can cost big money... Large electrical installation firms organize professional courses where they themselves train future employees. In this case, a person who already has a detailed understanding of the work is guaranteed to enter the client's territory. If it is not economically feasible for an organization to conduct its own courses, it can negotiate with one of the specialized training centers.
In addition to qualified installers, it is advisable to find a good accountant for a permanent job in the company. You can shift everything to it financial questions and documentation. Hiring such an employee is especially relevant if the owner of the company has no time to keep financial statements (or he cannot cope with this task on his own). In recent years, many accountants have been working part-time in several companies, which allows entrepreneurs to save money on wages and workplace equipment.
One more important person on the staff - a designer. It is he who draws up the technical work plans, and then approves them in the power grid company. To save money, you can conclude an agreement with a design office, whose employees will carry out this work as needed.
Marketing plan and promotion of the company
Marketing and advertising are equally important components of the success of any company. The organization of an electrical installation company also cannot do without detailed elaboration plan to attract new customers. Let's consider the two components of this process separately.
Marketing plan of the project
The situation in the field of construction and renovation can change dramatically in a matter of days, so before starting a new company, it is better to carefully study the market. If in this moment the city is actively being built up, new retail space and residential buildings are appearing, which means that the services of electricians will be in demand in the implementation of large projects. In this case, it is necessary to direct efforts to attract the attention of developers to their company.
If at the moment the construction of new buildings is sluggish, then it is better to draw up a marketing plan to attract customers from among individuals... In this case, the emphasis should be on the fact that the company provides services for replacing electrics during repairs, installing an electrical panel and wiring, connecting new electrical appliances, and so on. Orders of this kind will cost much less, but they will be received regularly, and executed faster, respectively, payment will also be received regularly.
Another marketing strategy that can be carried out when opening an electrical installation company is working at tenders and government orders. To do this, you will have to obtain an SRO admission. But with the presence of a pass, you can provide yourself with stable large orders for the next 3 years without the risk of losing a large amount of money on unscrupulous customers. Even before starting an activity, it is better to decide for yourself what marketing plan will adhere to the company, and select the appropriate type of advertising to attract customers.
Remember that the most fruitful and reliable cooperation is long-term
Advertising company
The selection of advertising must be carried out based on marketing strategy companies. If you plan to cooperate with construction companies, you can take part in professional exhibitions, order a cold sales service in a special agency or advertise in the media. Large formats of outdoor advertising are also suitable. the main objective- to make as many people as possible know about the company.
Otherwise, advertising on social networks and the Internet will be most effective. It will also be the cheapest. If you spend once on creating a colorful site and promoting your own group in social network, then all subsequent months will need to pay only for administration and this is not too expensive.
To participate in tender auctions, a company must have good connections... Therefore, it is important to monitor your reputation and collect positive reviews. Remember that it is in the professional environment that an opinion about the company should be formed.
The budget of an advertising project is different in all cases. If it takes an average of 50 thousand rubles to create a website and promote a group, then outdoor advertising or a media campaign will require investments from 150 thousand rubles. Remember that the site will have to be constantly administered in the future, while large firms attracted by advertising can conclude an agreement for several years in advance.
In any case, the advertising issue should not be left to chance. It is better to invite experienced specialists to cooperate, who will develop a clear plan for minimally possible cost... Competent advertising begins to attract customers already in the first month after its appearance, so that the result will be visible immediately.
How much can you earn on the services of an electrical installation company
Let's try to calculate the profitability of an electrical installation company, provided simultaneous work two teams of assemblers. To begin with, we note that opening such a company is always a costly business. About 1 million rubles will have to be spent on the preparation of all documents, the purchase of equipment and materials, a car, office rental and advertising. This price is not final as the business can take different paths. Approximate items of expenditure at the initial stage are as follows:
- Registration of permits (excluding obtaining an SRO permit) - 20 thousand rubles;
- Premises rental - 30 thousand rubles;
- Purchase of office furniture and repair work - 150 thousand rubles;
- Car - 400 thousand rubles;
- Tools and equipment for 2 work teams - 200 thousand rubles;
- Consumables - 100 thousand rubles;
- Advertising - 100 thousand rubles.
Total: 1 million rubles. If the company immediately draws up an SRO admission, the initial cost of the project increases by another 200-300 thousand rubles.
The company's monthly expenses will consist of:
- Rent - 30 thousand rubles;
- Salary for 4 installers, administrator, designer and accountant - about 270 thousand rubles (including mandatory contributions);
- Payment utilities- 10 thousand rubles;
- Purchases Supplies and other expenses - 50 thousand rubles.
In total, 360 thousand rubles will be required per month.
Calculation of the average income of the enterprise
As mentioned earlier, the income of an electrical installation organization directly depends on the type of services provided. So, a complete replacement of the wiring in a two-room "Khrushchev" will cost its owner about 20 thousand rubles, a smaller installation may come out cheaper. If each team of installers makes an average of 10-15 thousand rubles every day, then the total profit will average 25 thousand rubles. For a month, the amount of income will be about 500 thousand rubles. Also, summer periods traditionally bring construction business more income.
Annual income can reach 6 million rubles, but about 4.5 million will be spent on monthly expenses. Then the net profit will reach 1.5 million rubles, which means that in a year the company will not only pay off, but will also bring its first income. In this situation, profitability electrical business is 24%. Not bad for a project built from scratch.
Opening such a company also has its disadvantages. Firstly, the competition in this area is quite high, and it will not be so easy to find your major customer. But there will always be small private clients. Secondly, seasonality is clearly visible in business. Most the work will have to be performed in spring and summer, while the autumn-winter season will bring a minimum of funds. Thirdly, the owner of the company bears great responsibility for the health of employees and customers, for the quality of work, and so on.
You need to be psychologically prepared for all this, so not everyone will be able to enter the business, as well as to stay in it. If the pitfalls do not scare you, you can safely start creating an electrical installation company from scratch.
The electrical installation business attracts investors during the construction boom. New firms appear almost monthly and undertake. Nevertheless, the profitability remains at the level of 30%. This indicator is even higher for individual entrepreneurs who do not have an administrative apparatus. But what are the chances of finding your place in the market, where dozens and hundreds of companies operate !?
Let's take a look at a business plan for an electrical contractor.
Summary
The goal of the project is to open an individual entrepreneur that will provide electrical installation services. Business investments in the first year will amount to RUB 2,260,000. The funds will pay off in less than a year.
In order for a small electrical installation organization to work, you do not need to obtain a license and go through other complicated bureaucratic procedures. It is enough to register an individual entrepreneur - and you can work. In the future, in order to be able to participate in tenders and perform work on construction sites, it will be necessary to register an LLC and join an SRO. But so far we have no such plans. After registering an individual entrepreneur, it will be possible to perform work in residential multi-storey buildings and cottages, as well as in commercial facilities: offices, shops.
Business environment
The high demand for electrical work indicates a favorable economic situation in the region, since new wiring is required not only in newly erected buildings, but also in those where renovations are being carried out. The opening of restaurants and cafes, production workshops and shops requires repairs and, as a result, replacement of wiring. Currently, the region is dynamically developing due to the inflow of investments, as a result, the demand is high.
One more large segment market - these are new buildings with a rough finish. This niche is occupied by individual entrepreneurs and small firms. Entrepreneurs always find jobs. The number of orders and the level of income differ markedly, but the activity pays off and brings relatively stable income even without serious advertising campaign... The company's activities already need to be promoted, since the company incurs additional costs associated with more high level service. However, 9 out of 10 newbies survive. Not everyone manages to earn a lot, but it comes out to recoup the costs.
On average, an electrical installation organization earns 300-350 thousand rubles a month. or 3 600 thousand rubles. per year, if the work is performed by 2 teams. This will recoup the costs in 8-10 months.
Before word of mouth starts working, when clients recommend a firm to each other, an investor will have to make an effort to attract attention to himself, ie. you need to conduct an advertising campaign. Moreover, it must be active enough to attract a sufficient number of clients for 2 teams. Of course, you need to place ads on the internet and local newspapers. It is highly desirable to apply advertising information on the car. You can also promote the company through your own website, where, in addition to contacts and other information about the company, there should be articles that help clients navigate the quality of work and other issues that customers care about.
Special premises for work are not needed, since all of them are performed at the client's place, and the necessary materials are purchased for a specific order and stored at the customer's premises, in which the wiring is to be carried out. But a small room is still required. First, the company will need a vehicle to purchase materials. Secondly, you need to store the tool somewhere. We decided to buy a used car and rent a garage for it, where we will also store tools. A small car will not work, because in addition to cables and tools, you will have to carry ladders. In addition, repairs in apartments with a rough finish usually begin before the developer has landscaped the area. That's why vehicle must have good cross-country ability. It is not necessary to buy an SUV, but a low-slung foreign car will make the job impossible. We chose the GAZelle of the Gorky Automobile Plant.
Next, you should purchase tools and conclude a contract with a material supplier or with several suppliers. A stable contract will allow you to make purchases for more low prices and thus attract customers. This completes the organization of the production of electrical work - you can advertise and start serving customers.
Workforce plan
In our case, the structure of the electrical installation organization will be extremely simple, since it is planned to start small. The work will require 2 teams of assemblers, 2 people each, as well as a measurer and a foreman, who will coordinate the work and purchase the necessary materials. All personnel must be experienced and approved for electrical safety. It is possible to hire people according to an advertisement only if the owners or a trusted person is personally at the facility. Otherwise, this approach is dangerous. The consequence can be not only a damaged reputation of the company, but also emergency situations for example a closure. As a last resort, if you do not have your own team or recommended specialists, you need to clarify the professional skills and reputation of the specialist with the previous employer.
Electrical work is one of the most demanded services today. They are important in our time.
After all, the population regularly uses electricity. As a result, many citizens turn to specialists in this area. When building residential buildings and other premises, the services of a master who works with wiring and the appropriate tools are always relevant and sometimes simply priceless.
As a result, electrical installation as a business is gaining immense popularity. This is important in this case. Therefore, some entrepreneurs have a question about how to open an electrical installation company. And if you decide that engaging in these activities is exactly what you could and would like to do seriously, then this article will help you understand and specifically determine the task at hand.
For this type of activity to function successfully and consistently make a profit, it is imperative to draw up a business plan for an electrical installation company. This is the very first and most important step that will protect the specified case from unjustified risk and will become the key to success and stability in the future.
The main directions of the electrical installation business
The priorities in this activity are:
- Repair and maintenance of existing household electrical systems. This is one of the important processes.
- Development, implementation and maintenance of electrification systems for individual facilities.
So, we have decided on the direction of our activity. Next, we draw up a business plan for an electrical installation company and proceed with further actions.
Choice of legal form
This action is very important. As a rule, this choice is not difficult - register as individual entrepreneur or a limited liability company (LLC). There is no particular difficulty here. Registration as an LLC would be preferable.
Indeed, according to some unspoken rules, if you have to participate in tenders, then the priority is given to limited liability companies. Most likely, you will have to take part in such elections for the purchase of electrical work, and more than once, and this will provide you good volumes work and a decent income.
Documents required to open an LLC
For this action, the following materials should be drawn up:
- company charter;
- minutes of the meeting of founders;
- limited liability company approval agreement;
- document confirming the presence of a legal address;
- an application for registration of an enterprise (in the form of R11001);
- order on the appointment of the general director;
- receipt of payment of state duty.
A prerequisite will be the presence of an authorized capital in the amount of $ 350 or more. Samples of all the necessary documents are available on the Internet and are available to everyone. Electrical work is registered under the OKVED code - 45.31.
registration own business- the task is responsible, and, of course, you have to work hard. However, you can significantly save your energy and precious time by contacting special organizations that provide services of this kind.
Self-Regulatory Organization of Builders (SRO)
Let's take a closer look at this association. Permission to execute all construction works issues an SRO. This is important to remember. This organization also regulates construction in the state. To obtain admission to perform electrical work, it is enough to join the SRO. This makes life easier for builders, whose activities were previously controlled by Rostekhnadzor.
It will take a lot of money to join an SRO, but it's worth it. It ensures the introduction of uniform standards for all construction and installation organizations. It also excludes the manifestation of corruption and helps to avoid many troubles. It should be remembered that not all SROs issue permits for construction, reconstruction and overhaul of technically dangerous and complex facilities. Large organizations have such powers, for membership in which you need to pay about 10 thousand dollars. They also have the right to conduct refresher courses and seminars for members of their association.
Personnel with special qualifications and work permits are the main requirements for an organization. This is important in this case. If you wish, you can find any intermediary organization that provides services for joining an SRO. This can be done in one day and even with payment by installments, if you wish.
A package of documents for joining an SRO:
- a copy of the company's charter;
- documents on assignment of INN and PSRN.
As a rule, there is no admission fee to the said organization, but money is paid into a compensation fund, and a monthly payment of about $ 165 is also set. There is also an insurance payment once a year.
The amount that is contributed to the compensation fund varies by region. For example, in Moscow and St. Petersburg it is about 5 thousand dollars, in Rostov-on-Don, about 1300 dollars. It is imperative to know how much an SRO costs for electrical work in your region.
It must also be borne in mind that the admission of the specified organization is needed only for work with objects in capital construction. However, there is electrical work for minor repairs of premises. An admission is not required in this case. Therefore, a small electrical installation organization can do well without joining an SRO.
Basic personnel requirements
People performing these works must necessarily have a special education in this area, as well as a group of electrical safety approval number 3. This is the main condition. An employee who has received such a qualification level is obliged to know the procedure for operating and maintaining various electrical installations, as well as safety precautions, basic rules for admission to work and be able to provide first aid to victims of current, if necessary. The payment for the courses for obtaining this group is about $ 200, the duration of the courses is 40 hours.

- Organization of an advertising campaign.
If you do everything while adhering to the business plan, you will certainly achieve your goals and organize a profitable enterprise, even in an unstable economy.
Marketing plan
When planning to open this business, one should fully rely on the situation in the construction industry. If the construction is going on actively, residential complexes are being erected, shopping centers and new buildings - this means that electrical installation companies will have a lot of orders. Otherwise, you will have to be content with an extremely small market for the installation of electrical wiring and equipment in apartments and houses.
Those companies are successful that are able to provide a wide range of services: design of power supply, energy audit, laying of cables (television, power, telephone, etc.), installation of electrical wiring and replacement of electrics, installation of sockets, collection and installation of lamps, chandeliers, decorative lighting , connection of electric stoves, assembly of electrical panels. Thus, with proper advertising, orders can be received on a daily basis.
To earn really good money on electrical work, you will have to get an SRO (self-regulatory organization) admission. Only with a SRO permit can you get large state. orders, winning tenders and working on large construction projects. Joining an SRO, depending on the region, will cost from 150 to 300 thousand rubles. You will have to spend money on annual payments in the amount of at least 30 thousand rubles.
Advertising
Advertising and business promotion plays a special role in business. Competition, especially in large cities serious enough and without proper advertising, the client will never find you. Here many can be effective known methods, including posting ads, distribution of advertising brochures on mailboxes, outdoor advertising and advertising on the Internet. The role of the world wide web in the promotion of business is especially important in big cities where the number of internet users is very high. Your own website, advertising in Yandex-Direct can be very effective.
Production plan
As an organizational form, an LLC (legal entity) will be optimal for an electrical installation company. Possessing the status legal entity you can receive many more orders from large companies that are VAT payers.
At the initial stage, you can do without an office, but the need for it is difficult to overestimate. An office is necessary not only for a meeting with a serious customer, but also elementary for storing tools and accommodating the organization's personnel.
There is also a high need for our own transport. Often equipping electricians involves a number of not easy tools, ladders, cables and other components. It is not possible to translate this by hand or by car. Therefore, before opening a company, one should be puzzled by the purchase of a roomy car, such as a van (GAZelle).
Equipment and documents
To perform electrical work (at the initial stage of business development), it is enough to provide the fitters with the following tools:
- drill and hammer drill;
- ordinary ladder and stepladder;
- signaling devices;
- voltage indicators;
- electric screwdrivers;
- hand tools and overalls.
The most expensive purchase for this expense item will be the purchase of a vehicle. It should be a reliable vehicle capable of transporting people and equipment not only within the city, but also on field roads.
The preparation of documents for the operation of an electrical installation company includes not only the registration of an LLC with the Federal Tax Service, funds and Rosstat, but also the execution of the following papers:
- permits of organizations for labor protection, fire inspection and Rospotrebnadzor;
- documents confirming membership in self-regulatory organizations (SRO) of builders (for firms working with serious customers);
- labor contracts with staff;
- contracts with clients.
Each fitter must have documents on professional education and a third group of electrical safety admission.
Be sure to indicate in the application for registration with the Federal Tax Service the code of your activity. For electrical work, this is OKVED 45.31. Novice businessmen can be pleased with the fact that enterprises that are engaged in electrical work no longer need to obtain licenses and additional permits.
Choice of taxation regime
If you are planning to cooperate with large construction companies and government organizations, then you'd better work and pay taxes on a common basis. Owners of firms providing services to the public can write a statement to the Federal Tax Service on the choice of the simplified tax system (simplified system). It allows you to pay 6% of the proceeds or 15% of the company's profits before tax.
Staff recruitment
Finally, the most important thing is to find adequate fitters capable of performing work of any complexity. Even small firm you will need to find at least 3 professionals. Electricians are the face of the company. It is on the quality of their work that the mood of the customer depends, and therefore the positive feedback about the work of the company as a whole. Therefore, the search for personnel must be approached especially responsibly.
Permit to electrical work
According to Russian legislation admission to electrical work can only be obtained by people with prof. technical education and the third group of admission to electrical work. The specialist must know the principle of operation of electrical engineering, safety rules, must be able to provide first aid to the victim of injury electric shock... A good employee is not only an experienced specialist, but also a person without bad habits, responsible and hardworking.
Remuneration for assemblers - piece-rate (percentage of the order). It makes no sense to put on the salary of workers, since this not only reduces the quality of work, but also increases costs during the period of absence of orders.
Financial plan
We will calculate the main indicators economic efficiency work of an electrical installation company.
Fixed monthly expenses:
- Office rent - 20 thousand rubles.
- Fuels and lubricants - 25 thousand rubles.
- Advertising - 30 thousand rubles.
- Taxes - 15 thousand rubles.
- Other expenses (documentation, approvals, etc.) - 30 thousand rubles.
Total - 120 thousand rubles per month.
HOW MUCH CAN YOU EARN on the services of an electrical installation company
The average revenue from installing or replacing electrical wiring in an ordinary two-room apartment is 18,000 rubles. Of this amount, 25% is the remuneration of the installers. The rest is the firm's income. If we take into account only work with small customers, then with proper promotion, you can count on a cash turnover of 200-250 thousand rubles. This is about 15 - 20 "apartment clients" per month. Minus fixed costs the profit of the company will be about 80 - 130 thousand rubles per month. Taking into account the time for the promotion of the business (6 - 8 months), the initial investment pays off in 1.5 - 2 years of work.
