Instruction manual

1

Decide on the set of services that your company will provide: computer repair, website development, troubleshooting, installation of licensed software, monthly maintenance, etc. Based on this, draw up a business plan.

2

Register with the tax as an individual entrepreneur or register a limited liability company.

It will be easier, naturally, to become a private entrepreneur. But then an LLC with a common taxation system will be able to work successfully, offering after-sales service to organizations. Without VAT, not many will agree to such a service.

To register an LLC, you need to prepare the charter of the company and the memorandum of association, as well as deposit the amount of installed capital into the settlement account of the future company, the amount of which should not be less than ten thousand rubles.

3

Since you plan to install official software for your customers, you need to get a license from the manufacturer.

If you do not have such a license, you can only install licensed software purchased by him personally.

4

Find parts suppliers. Prices of different manufacturers are very different, so carefully study the market and accept only the best deal. You set the mark-up on components as you wish, while software manufacturers fix prices at a certain level.

5

Rent an office. To start a business you do not need a large room.

You can also work at home, but in this case, not everyone will want to contact you.

6

Hire employees. Let it be a couple of managers who will find customers and communicate with them, a master on repair and maintenance of computer equipment, a web master. If you yourself are well versed in the service activities of an IT company, then take orders for yourself.

7

Do not forget about advertising. Any business, especially at the very beginning, needs promotion. Order release of leaflets, place announcements of your services in advertising media.

note

Before installing the software, make sure that the program on the disk is not pirated, the box should contain: a sticker on the case, activation key, certificate, receipt and copy of the invoice. Otherwise, you may be held accountable.

Useful advice

Some component suppliers give their regular customers dealer discounts after a year of cooperation. Choose just such a company.

Do not buy spare parts for future use. Perhaps many of them will wait their turn for more than one year. Buy components only at the request of the client.

Remember that the Internet in the case of a service IT company as an advertising tool is inefficient. When a computer crashes, access to the network is very difficult.
