03 Sep 10 How To Start Up An Employment Agency
If you are on the lookout for a new business to establish in Hong Kong, why not consider putting up an employment agency, particularly a domestic helper agency. The potential of a business like this is big especially now that the demand for housemaids in HK is high. Should you feel interested in getting into this type of business, here are some of the things to consider:
Take a look at your budget. No business can be established without a capital. There will be a need to buy some equipment and materials, and employ people who will make up your staff.
Check on the competitors’ pricing for you to get some idea on how you should set your own rating system. Your price should be competitive enough to attract both clients and applicants.
Find out what legal documents you need to process. One of the obligations that will be required by the law from you is to obtain all the necessary permits and licenses. You’ll have to know where to get these documents, how and what you should present for the processing.
Make a decision on where your location will be. Remember that your business location should be convenient not just for you but for the applicants as well who will be interested to process an application with you. If your home is in a good location, you can consider putting up your office there to save money and time.
Have a dedicated phone line installed for your business use. Make a decision too if you want the calls to be diverted to another phone, particularly your personal or home phone after office hours or if you will get an answering service. One good solution for this is installing an answering machine or a voice mail.
Now, here are two of the best parts — marketing your services and getting job orders. You can obtain them fast enough if you have some good marketing strategies which are ready to be applied. You can create print ads or announce your business through various directories and classified ads online and offline. You can hire skilled marketers or establish a reward system which will entitle anyone who can bring in new clients to a commission.
No matter what, it’s quite important for your business to keep on finding jobs to give to your applicants. There may be many applicants but what’s the use if they will have no employer to go to?
