Open A Employment Agency
An Employment Agency is a evergreen business that communities will always have a need for. As business owners worry about the economy, they are less likely to risk hiring permit staff, so they call a employment agency for temporary workers. When business is booming, business owners do not want to take the time to find staff, so they hire a agency to find the highest qualified. Job seekers appreciate being able to go to a business that has known contacts to find them a job fast. Opening a employment agency can be lucrative and done with a minimal start off cost.
Instructions
1. Take a good look at the community and its needs. Get to know the different temporary employment agencies and what they specialize in. Pay special attention to what areas they seam to lack in.
2. Develop a mission for your new business. Determine what special niche your employment agency would best cater to. A potential client will take comfort in doing business with a company that specializes in providing staff in their specific career field. For instance, if you have a back ground as a nurse and find a need for such services, you have found your specialty. To find a need in a community some entrepreneurs will spend hundreds or thousands preforming surveys. A business with a much lower budget may be able to get a better idea of the need, by talking to their perspective customer base.
3. Check out federal and state programs that may offer financial start up assistance for qualifying employment agencies. Contact the local unemployment agency to apply for any grants available to help the unemployed or soon to be laid-off workers to find suitable employment. The specialty of the business will help determine what funds you may qualify for. Government funds to help people with disabilities and/or low income United States Citizens over the age of 55 to find employment may also be available through the Department of Aging and the Department of Education.
4. Create a Employment Agency Business plan. A business plan will be required to qualify for any grants or loans. You must include information on unemployment rate and growth rate of the field or fields chosen to work with.
5. Calculate starting costs and what is needed to get the business up and running. Do not forget that the business will probably need a line of credit to pay workers paychecks, until the company is paid for their services. Try to start with as little risk as possible. To decrease the amount needed to start the business, consider renting out spaces from companies who share a common interest in your field. For example, a employment agency that is targeting jobs toward the medical health field may consider renting a small space from a retail outlet specializing in scrubs. Before approaching the business go visit to make sure they have enough room. Space for a desk and a couple chairs up front for a waiting would be idea. Both businesses would be in a win win situation. Just make sure that if there is no room to grow, no contract is signed to stay for any length of time.
6. To make your presence known to future worker, start visiting the unemployment office and any businesses that may be relocating or laying of workers with skills you are looking for. Hand out fliers at large gathering places and shopping centers.
7. Marketing a new employment agency to future employers may be a bit tough, but possible. Make sure that the business phone number is listed in the local telephone directory in both print and online format. Visit large employers face to face. Attend employment fairs.
