For some time now, government offices have been discussing the issue that the marriage business should be licensed, but so far things have not gone further than talk, so take the chance to open a dating club as an individual entrepreneur and without a license.

Marriage agency space

A dating club is an organization that should be located as close to the center as possible, which increases your rental costs.

But opening a business on the outskirts will not bring the desired results, as it will be too difficult for potential customers to find you.

A marriage agency does not require huge areas, 40-50 square meters are enough. meters in order to place on them: a reception room, your office, an office for staff and a bathroom.

When your business is firmly on its feet, you can think about expanding to open a photo studio, a legal consultation, a psychological help office, some courses for future brides/grooms, etc. on the basis of your marriage agency.

You should take care of the interior so that your customers feel as comfortable as possible in the office.

Do not overload the walls with decorations, photos of happy couples, including those in wedding dresses, are enough to create the necessary mood.

It is better to give up bright flashy colors that cause a feeling of anxiety.

Do not spare money for a professional designer - he will do everything in the best possible way.

Furnishings and equipment of the marriage agency

The amount of furniture and technical equipment directly depends on how big a marriage agency you want to open.

If your dating club occupies an office of no more than 50 sq. meters and no more than 4 people work for you, including you, you should buy:

Item of expenses	Quantity	Cost (in rubles)	Amount (in rubles)
Total:			200 000 rub.

You yourself will be able to perform the functions of a manager and an accountant in your own dating club.

In a month, you will have to spend about 70,000 rubles on staff salaries:

	Qty	Salary (in rubles)	Total (in rubles)

Manager	1	20 000	20 000
Secretary	1	15 000	15 000
Programmer*	1	25 000	25 000
Cleaning woman	1	10 000	10 000

*Reject the idea of ​​hiring a part-time or part-time programmer, even if you really want to save on his expensive services. A programmer should be in the office every day in order to control the work of the site, add new profiles, service your computers, etc. Get ready for the fact that any programmer will require a separate payment for creating a website, which is included in our business plan under the heading “Additional costs”.

A marriage agency does not have to work seven days a week.

You can quite set a schedule like this: open the door of your club from 10.00-19.00, while giving employees one or two days off a week.

Saturday, for example, can be made part-time.

How to make money as an owner of a marriage agency

According to the type of earnings, all marriage agencies are divided into three types:

All clients, regardless of gender, pay money for their photo to be posted on your site, for organized meetings of potential brides and grooms, etc.
Decide for yourself how you will charge for this. You can take a one-time payment, or you can develop an all-inclusive subscription system for a month, quarter, year, etc.

If, for example, you organize a gentlemen's club, then you charge only men, while ladies get the opportunity to post their photos on your site absolutely free.
This type of marriage agency has one major drawback: you need to find brides (or suitors, if you're running a ladies' club) that your clients will like, which is no easy task.

Mixed.

For example, the main source of your income is foreign men who dream of a Russian wife.
It is from them that you take money for the phone or e-mail, for organizing a meeting, and so on.
Potential brides get the opportunity to post their photos absolutely free, but they have to pay if they want you to organize a professional photo shoot for them or help with the translation of a letter from a foreign groom.

How much can the owner of a marriage agency earn?

No one can tell you the exact amount, because many factors affect your earnings: the type of your agency, the number of paid services in the price list, but most importantly, the client base that you will form.

For example, you organized a gentlemen's club, that is, the main source of income is domestic and foreign suitors.

The system of cooperation with them is the sale of subscriptions for a quarter, six months and a year, which cost 4,000, 7,000, 12,000 rubles.

Your client base is 60 potential suitors. 15 of them purchased quarterly subscriptions, paying 60,000.

25 - semi-annual, making you richer by 175,000, the remaining 20 - annual, and your income amounted to another 240,000 rubles.

As you can see, with 60 clients, you can earn 475,000 rubles only for the sale of subscriptions.

That is, you not only pay off capital investments, but also get 75,000 on top.

But there are also ways to earn extra money:

1. Interpreter services if the bride does not know the foreign language spoken by the future groom, for example, 300 rubles for the translation of 1 letter.
2. Organization of a meeting of a foreign groom and a Russian bride in Russia: transfer, settlement, control, etc.
3. You, as the owner of a marriage agency, can receive your% from lawyers, owners of apartments and restaurants, if you are looking for clients for them, etc.

How quickly you build a customer base that will help you earn good money every month is up to you.

Experts say that the payback period of marriage agencies is 1–1.5 years, and promoted dating clubs can earn (minus mandatory expenses) from 25,000 to 80,000 rubles per month.

These are quite decent amounts, which are enough for you to become interested in the question " How to open a marriage agency?».

How to open a marriage agency from scratch?

Novice entrepreneurs are always interested in the question of how much it costs. Therefore, we cannot ignore such an important point.

It is rather difficult to name the exact amount needed to open a marriage agency. After all, it directly depends on the cost of renting a place, buying equipment, paying employees, etc.

Where to get the necessary amount of money?

Finding money to implement your own project is quite difficult, but there are several options that will certainly suit you.

• Credit. One of the easiest ways to get money is to apply for a bank loan. But this is a rather risky step, so before you decide, you need to carefully consider everything, weigh the pros and cons.
• Search for an investor. One of the most successful ways to get the necessary amount of money to invest in a business. But this option is quite difficult to implement, because finding the right person who will be interested in your idea is not so easy.

What do you need to open a marriage agency?

• Business registration. First of all, it is required to determine the substantive form of activity. In this case, the most appropriate and least costly option is to register as an individual entrepreneur;
• Establish cooperation with foreign marriage agencies that will provide you with a database of their clients, potential brides and grooms;
• Create a dating site where you will advertise your services, register your clients and look for a suitable match for them;
• Create a database of potential brides and grooms. It is necessary to carefully fill out each questionnaire, write detailed information about the candidate and attach his successful photos.

Premises for rent

It is desirable to locate the dating service office in the central part of the city. If the property does not have suitable premises, then it should be rented. Naturally, renting a place in the center is not cheap, but believe me, all costs will pay off very quickly if you correctly approach the implementation of the idea.

The premises need a good renovation, I do not advise you to save on this if you are going to serve elite clients. It is very important that visitors feel comfortable. Therefore, the interior, furniture, office equipment, everything should be located in its place and harmoniously combined with each other.

To create comfortable working conditions, you will need to purchase comfortable furniture. It is best for visitors to offer to sit on soft sofas, and for employees to equip their workplace with everything necessary. Of the equipment, you will need modern computers, a scanner, a copier, a printer. In addition, it is required to install a safe in the office, where important documents will be stored. It is also required to install security programs on the computer so that only employees have access to the database with personal information about customers.

Search for employees to work in a marriage agency

It is very responsible to take the recruitment of personnel for work in a dating agency. Candidates for the position must meet certain requirements: a pleasant, but not vulgar appearance, education (preferably a psychologist), experience in similar organizations, attentiveness, the ability to communicate and listen to people. In general, your employees must be impeccable so that every client is satisfied with their work and the quality of the services of your agency. Believe me, reputation is very important, it is quite difficult to earn good reviews, but you can lose trust in one moment.

It is necessary to conclude employment contracts with people hired, in which a condition should be prescribed on non-disclosure of personal data about clients.

In addition to consultants on the selection of brides and grooms, it is necessary to hire a photographer as well. His task is to photograph potential candidates in order to be able to attach a portfolio with the most successful photographs to the questionnaire.

Profit from dating agency

Your income will be the envy of many specific moments. It should be understood that each marriage agency earns differently.

Dating agency?

• You can charge a fee for registering on a dating site;
• Set a certain amount for your services. Some agencies take payment only from suitors, others, from all potential clients;
• The marriage agency also receives money from the sale of a database of brides or grooms;
• Another way to earn money is to organize personal meetings between the candidates you like;
• In addition, the agency is paid a certain amount for the opportunity to correspond, provide the address and other personal data of the client, the ability to view additional photos, etc.

How to attract clients?

Advertising

1. Good location. The agency, which is located in the city center, is very difficult not to notice. Therefore, pay attention to this important point;
2. Title and sign. A bright sign and a sonorous, memorable name will certainly attract the attention of customers;
3. Advertising in the media and on television. If finances allow, then you can advertise your organization in popular magazines that women love to read, as well as on television and radio.
4. Internet advertising. A dating site must be promoted on the Internet by all available means. Also, do not forget about social networks, be sure to create your own group there.

The payback of the business, of course, depends on the performance of you and the agency team, as well as its popularity and credibility gained over years of hard work. The approximate payback period of a marriage agency is about 1-2 years. You should not count on a stable profit in this business, income will depend on your efforts. Therefore, you will have to work constantly, because a marriage agency does not belong to the types of passive income. Before deciding on such a responsible step as opening a marriage agency, weigh all the pros and cons in order to make sure that the decision is correct and the business is profitable.

Organizing a marriage agency on your own is perhaps one of the most extraordinary ways to generate income. What could be better than making people happy?! It is you who will begin to look for their soul mates for people, and they will be grateful to you for this. You will not only receive material benefits from what you are doing, but you will also be morally satisfied, since the mission you have chosen - "to collide the fates of people" - is considered noble and in demand. In just a few months of work, you can achieve tremendous success in this field.

However, without a competent organization of your own business, you can’t do it here. The question of how to open a marriage agency can be confusing for some. Of course, it requires the most detailed analysis. The following recommendation will be primarily useful to those who intend to engage in acquaintances on a professional basis.

Where to begin?

Before you open a marriage agency, you should study in detail the situation in this type of activity, at least on the scale of your locality. Read materials from printed publications, advertisements, advertising information on how to properly organize a business.

For example, analyze the price level in your city for the services of a "professional matchmaker". Chat with your friends or acquaintances - it is possible that one of them has some experience in the field of activity that interests you. It will not be superfluous to sign up for a consultation with specialists who help you find your destiny as a client and explore the material, so to speak, from the inside.

Prepare a business plan

Do you want to know how to open a marriage agency? Do not hurry. First, you should draw up a detailed business plan for the marriage agency. In this document, you should thoroughly work out all the details and prospects for your future enterprise.

For example, you must determine the specialization of your activity, namely: will you look for wives or husbands only among your compatriots, or will foreign citizens also appear in your client base. Perhaps you want to open an international marriage agency.

That is why the services of a “professional matchmaker” are in high demand today: Russian women dream of a foreign husband, and a certain part of our representatives of the stronger sex prefers to marry girls from Europe, Africa and the USA. Also, in your business plan, you must describe in detail the cost estimate (rent of premises, purchase of equipment, wages for employees) and predict how long it will take you to recoup the investment.

How to open a marriage agency? There is nothing difficult in this. Remember that the main goal is to select the ideal candidate for the role of spouse or husband. The principle of the marriage agency is quite simple: the more you manage to "connect hearts", the better. The popularity rating of your company will depend on this.

So, the business plan is developed and the goal is defined.

The next step is to register your business with the tax authority. As a rule, this procedure is done fairly quickly (3-7 days).

As a result, in your hands you will have documents confirming the legality of your business. What's next? Let's move on to the practical side of the question of how to organize a marriage agency.

Choose a room

The choice of the location of your marriage agency should be approached responsibly and seriously. It is better to choose an area with developed infrastructure. The building in which you rent the premises should be located near shopping centers, supermarkets, hotels, cafes and restaurants. The place must be respectable. One square meter of rent can cost you about 2,000 rubles a month. Think over the design of your office in advance.

Provide an area in the room in which the representative of the weaker sex over a cup of coffee could discuss with her friends the proposed candidates for the role of "life partner". The interior of the office should be made in a business style, which, at the same time, would encourage the client to a confidential dialogue. It is optimal if the area of ​​the office you rent will not exceed 50 square meters. To decorate the interior and make repairs, you will need about 200,000 rubles.

What will be required from the equipment?

You must be aware that each hired employee must be provided with a workplace and have the necessary set of office equipment: computer, scanner, printer, copier. Also in the room you will need upholstered furniture to make customers feel as comfortable as possible. As a result, your wallet will be empty for another 300,000 rubles.

Hiring staff

Paradoxical as it may sound, but in the organization of a marriage agency, the ability to understand the psychology of the individual is of paramount importance, while the financial side of the matter is secondary. And one of the main components of a successful business is the competent selection of personnel. You will need a couple of smart specialists who can thoroughly understand the peculiarities of interpersonal relationships. With their help, you will be able to find out as accurately as possible what qualities the chosen one or chosen one of the client should have.

Many people ask the elementary question: “Why can long-term relationships between people be ultimately doomed to failure?” It's all about their psychological incompatibility. To minimize this risk, you need the help of experts.

With the help of consultations and tests, they will definitely select the ideal pair for the client. Do not forget that you will pay for the work of specialists: one employee will cost you approximately 30,000 rubles per month. At a minimum, you will need two psychologists.

Looking for an interesting and profitable business idea? Pay attention to marriage agencies. Unfortunately, not all citizens of our country have found their true love, soul mate. However, many of them find it difficult to solve their problem on their own. There can be many reasons: lack of time, difficulties in communication, etc. The issue is more relevant for older people who do not accept visiting nightclubs, parties, casual acquaintances on the street. But for help in finding a future wife or husband, these people are ready to pay a good financial reward. Therefore, among many businessmen, the question is relevant: how to open a marriage agency.

What are marriage agencies?

First of all, you should decide what kind of services you will offer to your clients: searching for a suitable couple within our country or searching for rich foreign suitors for the beautiful half of our compatriots.

In the case of work only in our country, it is necessary to create bases of brides and grooms. At the same time, working in this format, you can make a huge range of services offered. After all, in addition to marriage, many people are looking for fellow travelers, partners for a pleasant pastime.

To search for brides for foreigners, you need to create a database of girls. Make sure that your clients do not have a dark criminal past, be sure to check their documents. The questionnaire should indicate age, presence or absence of children, marital status, height, weight, education, etc. For an additional fee, you can help the girls with the services of a professional photographer.

After you have formed a decent database of single girls, you should proceed to the next step - the search for foreign partners. Foreign agencies often prefer to work with several partners, so they rarely turn down newcomers with a decent database. When providing it, refrain from indicating any contacts.

status and place

Now let's move on to organizational issues: where to start opening a marriage agency. As for the license, it is currently not yet required, so it will be enough to register as a private entrepreneur with the payment of taxes under the simplified taxation system.

Client selection

No matter what kind of business you are in, the current market relations involve the promotion of goods and services for successful business. As you know, the engine of commerce is advertising.

In order for you to invite clients to the agency, they need to be interested. With an initial customer base, you can begin to deploy an advertising company. Advertising can be placed in printed materials in the relevant sections. Remember that you should not advertise the company itself, but the best customers in your database. For example: "Martin, an Englishman, 40 years old, the owner of a confectionery factory, is looking for a girl under 35 years old to start a family."

Interested in such ads, customers will come to your office themselves.

Customer service

The ability to communicate with people is the main answer to the question: what is needed to open a marriage agency. A conversation with clients is like a conversation between a psychologist and patients. Treat them with understanding and empathy, while trying to learn as many details as possible. At the same time, you should watch your facial expression and words.

Next, you should evaluate the chances of customers. As a rule, they are looking for attractive people without children or with one child without bad habits. Therefore, it is better to be honest with visitors and immediately tell about the chances of success. It is better to lose an unpromising visitor immediately than to have trouble from him later.

If the visitor/visitor is promising, you should introduce her/him to the database of questionnaires, while trying not to display contact information. There should be a lot of questionnaires to arouse interest among visitors.

After that, offer to fill out a questionnaire and familiarize the visitor with your price list.

Internet

How to open a marriage agency on the Internet? It does not matter whether you open a company offline or online, no agency today can do without its own website.

It is important to think about design and not be stingy with paying a web designer. Customers evaluate the site with their eyes. This is especially true for women. Websites must be original and load quickly.

Questionnaires should be posted on the site. Some take money from clients for this, others sell contacts to interested parties.

Conclusion

As you can see, it is not difficult to open a marriage agency. The main thing is to properly organize the work and create a decent database. Work with all your heart and really help your customers, don't just try to "make money" and your grateful customers will always recommend you to friends and acquaintances, and you will not lack visitors.

If you want to connect single people and make money on it, then the only question arises - how to open a marriage agency from scratch? We will tell you where to start in this case and how to organize this type of business in the safest and most correct way.

Security questions

It must be remembered that this type of business is associated with certain risks. There are many clients, both men and women, who enjoy the gullibility of others. Therefore, it is so important to check every person entered into the database.

Experienced businessmen are advised to organize their work as follows:

1. Keep a clear document flow, where there are murals of clients, do not throw away checks and receipts.
2. Make photocopies of your passport data and keep them in a safe place.
3. Respect confidentiality.
4. Require personal completion of all questionnaires and forms manually.
5. Warn your customers about possible risks and scams so they are vigilant and careful.
6. Keep a list of unreliable persons, and also exchange "black" lists with other colleagues both abroad and within our state.
