The ideal option for opening a sauna would be to build a building from scratch. Redevelopment of an old building and fitting it to all the necessary requirements for a bath can cause many questions and problems. You can start your business with a small bath, an area of about 100 square meters. m. It will have a swimming pool (area 5 sq. m.) and a steam room (15 sq. m.).
The sauna room is divided into two sectors: one common steam room and rooms. The regular rooms have a shower, a toilet and a barrel. The deluxe rooms have a private pool, dressing room, relaxation room, steam room and common room. Standard steam rooms are equipped with a wood-burning stone stove, while deluxe steam rooms are equipped with infrared electric saunas.
Considering ready business-plan, it will be seen that the largest items of expenditure will fall on the construction of a building for a bath and the cost of equipping it. Equipment costs are divided into two types. The first category is one-time expenses. These include: the purchase of furniture, stoves, decor and equipment for the pool. The second category of expenses is the cost of consumables for the bath. These include: various brooms, steamers, disposable slippers, mittens, towels, hats and scoops. The cost of equipping the sauna will average 600 thousand rubles. The construction of a brick bath will cost approximately 1,500,000 rubles. A bath from a bar will cost three times cheaper. More exact amounts that will be needed for the construction of a bathhouse depend on many factors. Only the contractor of the project will be able to announce the final amount.

As a rule, a ready-made internal work schedule in a bathhouse is a day after two or a day after three. 6 people will need to be hired for a shift. With a schedule in two days, the working team will consist of 12 people. It will include: an administrator, a cleaner, 2 handymen, a security guard, a massage therapist. The number of staff employed will depend on the schedule of the bath, its size and the demand for the services it provides.
Monthly payroll plan for staff:
Total: 125 thousand rubles.
The accelerated rhythm of life in modern megacities and heavy workloads lead people to look for opportunities to maintain their health, relax and receive positive emotions. One of the best places, where you can have a good rest, get emotional release and do healing procedures are baths. Therefore, baths have been and remain a profitable type of business, despite the fact that in large and small cities new establishments of this kind are constantly opening, offering wide range services.
In Russia, the Russian bath, Finnish sauna, Turkish hammam and Japanese ofurro are popular today. But the first two types are more common, since the latter, especially Japanese, are relatively recent on the service market.
The most popular are baths with extended functionality - bath complexes, which include a swimming pool, a bar or cafe, a billiard room, massage parlors, etc. AT last years a new trend is gaining momentum - establishments with bedrooms, often located on the attic or on the second floor, combining the functions of a bathhouse and a guest house. Baths with an expanded area of terraces are also in demand. But keep in mind that large bath complexes quickly pay off only in megacities. For a small town, a small bathhouse is more suitable, including a minimum range of services. This is the most profitable option for opening an institution from scratch.
Our business plan is designed to open an institution with minimum investment in 2017.
When opening a bath, it is better to register as an individual entrepreneur, and choose taxation for UTII, OKVED code 93.04 is needed, since this section includes activities aimed at improving health, physical condition and ensuring comfort, which includes Turkish baths and saunas, as well as steam rooms. OKUE number - 019100
After registration, a package of documents is prepared:
Approximately 25,000 rubles will be required for paperwork.
A room for a bath can either be sought in the non-residential fund, or built. The second option is preferable for two reasons:
A small bath area of 100 square meters is suitable. m. with a swimming pool (6 sq. m.) and a steam room (12 sq. m.). The bath will also include a common room, a dressing room, a relaxation room, a SPA and massage room, and a terrace.
If the bath will be built of brick, it will take about 1,700,000 rubles, but we will focus on a more economical option - a room made of timber, which will cost 700,000 rubles. When finishing Special attention It is worth paying attention to the technical and aesthetic characteristics. The walls are sheathed with wood, which must be treated with special substances that protect against overheating and fire. Each owner decorates the rest room according to his taste. But, it is desirable that there are benches, a table and a TV.
After the construction is completed, it will be necessary to connect gas, water, sewerage, electricity, which will require additional funds and time. Summing up all communications can take up to six months, and the cost will be an average of 160,000 rubles.
Furniture, equipment and bath accessories will require 700,000 rubles /
It has a big plus in terms of recruitment, since it does not require so many specialists, and, consequently, the cost of wages will not be high. Another thing is that with low wages, staff turnover is possible. To keep employees, you can introduce incentive payments, small but regular.
To work in the bath you need:
You can save if the functions of the administrator and accountant are taken over by the owner of the bathhouse or members of his family. Then only 40,000 rubles will go to wages.
That is, to start the bath you need 1,675,000 rubles.
The payback of a business depends on a number of factors, including the range of services that your establishment will provide. Services can include pre-booking, masseur and attendant services, rental and sale of bath accessories. Prices for customers should not be too high, but they should not be made low either. On average, the price can be 200 rubles per hour per person, or when renting the entire complex, 1000-1500 rubles. On weekends, the workload should be - 80%, on ordinary days -25%. If the bath will work for 12 hours, then the monthly profit will be up to 86,000 rubles. The project should pay off within 1.5-2 years. After that, it will be possible to think about expanding the business.

Is it difficult today to open a bathhouse, a sauna for business from scratch? Experienced entrepreneurs will say that this is more troublesome than difficult. It will be much more difficult to keep the business afloat, since there are plenty of competitors in this area. However, the advantage of the new bath complex may be: the variety of services offered, their high quality, service on professional level.

Still, this is not a place where they can drop in by chance, going for a walk or shopping for bread. They go to the bathhouse purposefully, and clients are ready to go to the eminent bath attendant even to the other end of the city. That is why opening a bath complex in a densely populated, but slightly remote residential area can also be a good idea.
The optimal "squaring" for the future bath is 100-150 meters . On this area, you can easily place two departments for women and men, locker rooms, a sauna, a small pool, a relaxation room, and technical rooms. In the case when the provision of additional services (massage, cosmetic procedures, haircuts) is planned, treatment rooms may be needed. Such nuances must be immediately taken into account when choosing a room.
What is more profitable, the conversion of an old building into a bath or the construction of a new one? If we take into account that the repair of the former building of the state bath is commensurate with the costs of arranging any other premises, then in many cases it may be more profitable to build a bath from scratch. Thanks to modern technologies and materials to build a bath in our time is not so expensive in terms of time and money.
For registration of a bath business, the IP form is quite suitable. But if an entrepreneur plans to hire staff and engage in the sale of alcoholic beverages, then registration of an LLC is required.

When selecting personnel for customer service, it is imperative to pay attention to professional qualities personnel. The main character of the Russian bath, of course, is the attendant. The increase in demand for the service largely depends on his ability to work with a broom and clients.
In addition to the bathhouse attendant, the staff list should include:

The standard methods for promoting such establishments are:

If the business of organizing and operating the bath complex is organized correctly, then its payback will be 2-6 years with a profitability of 20-40%. It all depends on the size of the business and initial investment. To make the information clearer, consider exemplary business plan for the opening of the bath.

These establishments are places where some like to take a steam bath, others gather there with a close company of friends and just relax, others maintain their health in this way, and there are those who visit baths and saunas simply because of prestige. Here we will consider information on how to open a sauna and / or bath, a business plan for it.
Today in cities there are many organizations with several rooms and a steam room, but there are also huge bath complexes. Usually the sauna provides such services as a steam room, it also rents out rest rooms by the day and hourly, and provides various in-line services, such as massage or SPA.
The most dreary in construction is the hammam, because. wood is replaced by stone.
Do not forget that the final numbers of the sauna business plan for opening it will greatly depend on the type of establishment you have chosen. If we take the lowest possible costs, then the hammam will be more expensive in construction.
One option is to build a bath complex, where all these types of establishments are usually located. But this option is only suitable for wealthy cities.
Consider information on how to open a sauna and a bath point by point.
Suppose that you will conduct your business activities in the form individual entrepreneur. For you, it will be an acceptable option for taxing UTII, because. activities in this area, according to the explanatory letter of the Ministry of Finance, fit this option.
For this service, OKVED 93.04 “Physical and recreational activities” is suitable, because. this grouping includes: “activities for the purpose of improving physical condition and providing comfort, for example, the activities of Turkish baths, saunas and steam baths, solariums, spas with mineral springs, salons for weight loss and weight loss, massage rooms, centers physical education etc.". The number of this section according to OKUE is 019100.
Fire requirements for baths and saunas can be considered in SNiP 31-05-2003 p.6.3.9. Relations with sanitary authorities are regulated on the basis of SanPin 2.1.2. "Design, construction and operation of residential buildings, public utilities, educational institutions, culture, recreation, sports."
It would be better if you build a building for a sauna or bath from scratch, because. when rescheduling the finished premises and carrying out repairs in it, you may encounter various problems. To open a room where there used to be a bath or sauna is also not at all cost-effective, since high humidity greatly increase the cost of repairs.
You can start with an area of 100 square meters. meters, a 5-meter pool and a steam room from 13-14 sq.m.
Usually the room is divided into sectors: a common steam room and rooms. Sauna rooms are junior suites and suites. The main difference between deluxe and ordinary rooms is the location of the infrastructure in the same room. The suite has a swimming pool, dressing room, steam room, lounges and a common room zoned separately. The regular rooms only have a shower, a barrel and a toilet, while the sauna pool is outside.
Junior suites are equipped with steam rooms with a stone and a wood-burning stove, and luxury complexes with infrared electric saunas. For people who do not like wet steam, they make a small version of the steam room with dry steam.
The cost of equipping the sauna will be quite serious. They can be divided into two types: one-time and consumables. One-time purchases - stoves, decor, furniture, pool equipment. Consumables in the sauna and bath - brooms, mittens, steamers, disposable slippers, scoops, towels. You can start with an amount of approximately 400-600 thousand rubles (the cost of the building is not included in this calculation).
The internal schedule of a steam bath in a sauna is usually a day in two. Based on this, 4-6 people will be needed for a shift, in total the team will be up to 12-18 people. The team will consist of an administrator cleaning lady, a handyman, a security guard and a massage therapist. Often a security guard is also an administrator.
In general, it all depends on your city and the demand for these sauna services, because in large cities there are large saunas and baths that work around the clock and they have more staff. But, at the same time, in small towns it often happens that the baths work only for 12 hours and they have fewer staff, because. often one person combines several positions.
Booking a sauna and rooms is a standard service. Usually the client should appear 10-15 minutes before the appointed time, if he is not there, then the reservation is canceled in 5 minutes, since prepayment in this area is unlikely.
Standard services provided by the sauna:
The reserve fund in this activity is very important. Approximately every two years it will be necessary to replace the wooden inner lining in dressing rooms and steam rooms, chimneys burn out, furniture breaks. Overhaul saunas and baths will be needed every 4-5 years. Constant flow of customers high humidity contribute to this. Its cost can reach 20-30% of the funds initially spent on interior decoration.
We hope that information on how to open a sauna, a bath and a business plan for this will help you in starting your business.
Good afternoon, my name is Sergey Kulikov, I live in Yaroslavl region. Six years ago I decided to bring the sauna business idea to life, and I succeeded. Started with a small pair at 50 square meters. But over the years, we managed to expand.
Today my business has the following characteristics:
Today, this type of business is very interesting and promising. A big plus is that here you can develop almost endlessly, constantly adding some new services for your customers.
But in order for the bath or sauna business to bring the expected income, pay attention to the following points:
1. Decide on the type of sauna. Many do not even realize that there are four main types of saunas. For example, a feature Finnish sauna– in low humidity and very high temperature indoors.
Recently, more and more popular are gaining infrared saunas where a similar effect can be achieved.
Turkish saunas are very popular.
The difference between such establishments is air heating due to heat transfer from marble or stone slabs. At the same time, in a Turkish bath, people, as a rule, do not bathe, but wash;
There are also Roman saunas.
In such a steam room, high humidity prevails, reaching 100%.
In fact, the room is completely filled with steam.
It is believed that the Roman sauna is most beneficial for the skin and respiratory tract.
Aromatherapy can be offered as an additional service.
By the way, Russian baths work on the same principle.
Personally, I also like the Japanese sauna.
It differs significantly from those that we have considered above. First, a person undergoes procedures in the bathroom, which is filled with cool water and herbal infusions.
This is followed by immersion in sawdust, heated to a temperature of 42-45 degrees Celsius.
2. Provide additional services. As a rule, the sauna business idea should not be limited to renting a room and building just a steam room. It is not right.
A high-quality institution should provide a whole range of additional services, for example, massage (soapy and classic), stone therapy, peeling, solarium, and so on.
Of course, it is not necessary to start working in all directions at once, but in order to retain existing customers and attract new visitors, the range of activities can be expanded.
After the idea of the future business and development trends have formed in your head, proceed to the implementation of the project.
Here I would like to highlight the following steps:
1. Register as an individual entrepreneur and arrange the most convenient system taxation - UTII. The code for this type of activity is 93.
This includes the provision of bath, shower, steam room and other services. At the initial stage, this will be enough. Over time, you can expand and form an LLC.
Registration costs - from 10-15 thousand rubles.
2. A special issue is the premises. If there is no sufficient amount on hand, then the only way out is to rent. But keep in mind that converting a room into a steam room is an expensive process.
When terminating the contract with the landlord, the money spent will be difficult to return. A safer option is to buy your own space (building) and its further refurbishment.
But here, of course, proceed from your own capabilities. You can do it differently - find a room where a steam room has already been organized, make repairs in it, strengthen the wiring and, if necessary, redevelop it.
The minimum area for a sauna is from 150 square meters.
At the same time, immediately plan the placement of the following rooms - a soap room (it can be entertaining or wellness), a room for relaxation and tea drinking, a steam room directly (from 15 square meters), a shower room, a pool (at the initial stage, you can do without it), a font with ice water, staff quarters, warehouses and so on.
If something is missing, then it can be arranged additionally.
Pay special attention to communications - electricity, sewerage, availability of water. If there is not enough capacity, then it is better to think over their amplification in advance. Otherwise, you may encounter a number of problems in the approval process.
The average cost of renting such a room is from 70 thousand rubles.
redevelopment, repair work- from 370-400 thousand rubles.
3. An important issue is the sauna equipment, After all, this is one of the main cost items. The main element is the oven. It can be electric, gas or wood burning.
The first and second options are the most convenient, but true connoisseurs of steam rooms prefer "wood" options. Their disadvantage is the complexity of operation and the lengthy process of melting.
The most economical option is a gas oven. But here you run the risk of attracting the special attention of fire inspectors (additional permits will be required). An electric oven is a versatile option.
It is convenient and reliable in operation. The main disadvantage is the high cost of electricity.
Also, to start a business, you will need a sauna cabin, showers, air conditioning, furniture (tables, chairs, sofas, beds). You will need towels and disposable underwear.
About the most breaking news and business trends with a franchise can be read
The total cost of equipping the sauna with everything you need is from 600 thousand rubles.
4. Select qualified personnel. This is one of the most important issues on which the success of the future business depends (even when buying a ready-made sauna business). At the same time, consider the mode of operation of your institution and the volume of services provided.
As a rule, saunas are open from 10-11 o'clock in the afternoon until the last client. One shift works in this mode is impossible (this must be provided for when recruiting).
So, you will need an administrator (it is advisable to take two specialists). This person will be engaged in receiving and processing orders, that is, working directly with the customers of the establishment.
Hire a stoker, handyman. Such an employee is required to carry out petty work- cutting firewood and kindling the stove (if it is wood-burning), knitting brooms, transferring and distributing linen, removing snow, and so on.
You can not do without a security guard who must ensure the safety of the sauna equipment and the belongings of customers.
You will need a massage therapist if your sauna provides related services.
Total payout costs wages employees - from 180-200 thousand rubles.
Here it is important to work in several directions - to organize advertising in the media (magazines, newspapers), to take part in the life of the city (organize competitions, provide the winners with the opportunity to visit the sauna for free).
You need to make your own website, where all the services of your institution will be listed. It is obligatory to indicate contact information for making an order.
Table number 1. Price list for number branch services in Russia
We have already considered the main points on creating a business.
Now let's summarize total costs per organization:
If you don’t want to deal with paperwork, obtaining permits, choosing premises, repairing and other work on your own, then buy a ready-made sauna business. There are more than enough offers on the market today.
Much here depends only on your financial capabilities. In particular, a large sauna with an area of 100 square meters or more can cost from 3 million rubles or more. You can choose more budget options, but they, as a rule, require serious refinement and additional costs.
Finding offers to sell is not difficult. You can do this through any search engine - just type the phrase "buy a sauna business." It remains only to choose the region you are interested in, call and make a deal.
Table number 2. Average prices for number department services in Russia
It is easy for me to talk, because I already have experience in creating and promoting my own sauna. But before the opening, I studied a lot of people's reviews on the net. The main advantage of such a business is high profitability and quick payback.
On average, you can have a profit of 300-400 thousand rubles a month from a small sauna and from a million rubles from a larger institution where additional services are provided.
In order to speed up the process, it is worth ordering a sauna business plan in advance, and then follow the instructions step by step. It can take a lot of time to process and get approvals.
But if everything is done taking into account existing norms rules, problems rarely occur. At the same time, always be prepared to part with a certain amount. The main thing is to believe in your success.
