If you decide to go in for a bath business, then first of all choose a room. It can be purchased or leased. Experts believe that the second option is less promising, because, having made repairs and purchasing equipment, you will end up in a long dependence on the landlord. Finding a room for a small bath is not difficult. For this, an ordinary basement is suitable. Some people think that a sauna made of modern construction materials will be cheaper than buying a basement. Externally and internally, such a structure is practically no different from buildings made of stone or wood. In addition, modern materials have proven themselves well.

If you find a suitable room, then you will need to obtain permission from the SES and firefighters. If you plan to make a minibar in the bathhouse and sell strong alcohol, you will have to take care of obtaining a license.

3

Buy equipment. For a bath designed for 8-10 rooms, you will have to equip a wardrobe, a Russian steam room or sauna, a bar, a relaxation room, a massage room, a solarium, and billiards. The set of services will depend on your imagination and financial capabilities. Do not forget about the aesthetic side. All rooms must be in the same style.

As for the stove, you can install a wood, gas or electric stove. Gas stoves are the cheapest, but they can cause complaints from firefighters and difficulties obtaining permission from them. The most convenient and safe are electric stoves. For health, a wood sauna is considered the most useful. However, wood stoves are more difficult to operate, so not many allow themselves such an "exotic".

Hire staff. The staff of a private bathhouse should have an administrator, a housewife, a steam cleaner, a washer, and technical personnel (cleaning lady, electrician). If the bath is small, then the duties of the castellante can be performed by the administrator, and the technical staff can be coming. In a reputable institution there should be several washers and steam workers working in shifts.
