Instruction manual

1

Become an official agent of Russian Railways. It is worth noting here that Russian Railways does not give its agents any commission, and it will be necessary to conduct activities for a “service charge”.

2

Complete the registration by completing the necessary steps. First, submit an application and queue for consideration of this request. Next, get an official prescription regarding point equipment rules. This process can drag on for six months or more.

3

Prepare a starting investment of 800 thousand rubles, as well as funds for a “service charge” from a ticket or trade margin - up to 500 rubles. Think over all the expenses that will turn into taxes, rent, private security, salaries to employees, allocated by the line, as well as deductions from Russian Railways itself. The latter include monthly payments from each terminal of 11 thousand rubles for information services, as well as 15 rubles in the GUO from each ticket sold for reporting. Total, your monthly expenses will amount to 135 thousand rubles. Expected income: 200 thousand rubles.

4

Equip the point. According to Russian Railways standards, a workplace should have an area of ​​up to 45 square meters. Install the grill, safe, panic button, alarm and doors of a special design (according to the application). Open a deposit account at your ticket limit (a mini-point with two terminals can afford about 150 thousand rubles for this).

5

Hire the necessary staff in the person of two cashiers, a general director, an accountant and private security outsourcing. Wait for the final approval and acceptance by your officials of your work and start entrepreneurial activity.

note

This business is more than seasonal. As the players themselves evaluate it, they get 80% of their income thanks to summer vacationers flying to resorts or on a trip to relatives living far away.
