How do I go about owning my own Employment Agency?

Question

I would like to start my own business and seek advise on getting started. I would like to supply labourers to various different industries across the country.

Answer 1

do you have experience in running your own business. You should speak with an accountant. Its not hard to set up if you know you have a base of clients who need staff.

Accountants can give you great advice on setting up a business,.

Answer 2

Youcould goto a franchise recruitment agency - just put thatin google. Otherwise you need to do some research. i.e. what likeminded agnecies charge. Do u want to do perm or temp staff or both. Remember providing temp staff you need to have a cash flow to start paying them whilst waiting for money to come in from companies. You need to set out your terms of business . I started from my back bedroom and then progressed to office - after 2 yrs sold it on as my partner didnt wish to continue and I had another job at same time. It is hard work but can be very profitable.
