Today, taxi services are in demand in almost any city. A taxi ride often saves time and money.

Instruction manual

1

Determine the type of taxi service you intend to organize. The best option from a budget point of view would be a taxi dispatch service focused on the average consumer. At the first stage, the creation of a luxury company with a specially selected range of cars will be inappropriate.

2

Design a company legally by choosing the legal form of the company. This may be, for example, an individual company or a limited liability company. Consider each of the options to take into account, in particular, all the subtleties of taxation.

3

Assess the need for transportation and employees. For full-fledged work, you will need your own fleet of cars (at least half of the total number of cars), as well as drivers with their cars. In the future, subject to stable profits, the number of cars can be increased.

4

Create a taxi service algorithm. It will be approximately as follows: - the client contacts the service using the dispatcher’s contact phone number;

- The dispatcher captures the contact and coordinates of the client;

- the dispatcher transmits data to the driver who is closest to the desired address;

- the driver takes the client to the destination and receives a fee for the service provided.

5

Analyze the market for similar services in your city. Gather information about competitors, methods of promoting services on the market, methods and methods of advertising, prices for services.

6

Get the necessary equipment to operate a taxi service. You will need cars, taximeters, radio stations. Additional technical elements include: vehicle tracking system, navigation devices, software on a central computer. You can purchase these devices later, when the company begins to bring tangible profits.

7

Calculate financial indicators and determine approximate payback periods for taxi services. If you have a fleet of your own cars, you will need about a year and a half to return the invested funds. If you start by renting a vehicle and hiring drivers with personal cars, the payback period of the project will be significantly shorter.
