So, where to start a bath business? To organize an autobahn, you will first need a suitable car. After all, the basis of this business is precisely a car.

This fact plays an important role in the future success of your business. It is better to finish the bath with a tree, preferably linden or fir. This wood does not emit harmful substances and causes a pleasant feeling in contact with the skin. Using zoning, you can equip two zones - hot and cold.
The main features and components of the baths on wheels

Opening a public bath is an excellent option for a profitable business. Currently, the demand for these services exceeds supply, therefore the level of competition in this area is rather low.
In Russia, going to the bathhouse is a good old tradition, so you don’t have to impose the service on customers. People go to a public bath to take a good steam bath and wash themselves. Over the years, the market for these services has formed independently. The main task is to properly organize and submit this idea.
In order for your commercial bath to be commercial success, you must solve the following problems:
- Organize a front desk. On it, your visitors can easily buy the necessary bath accessories.
- Set up comfortable locker rooms. Make separate lockers for things that will be locked.Be sure to place benches or small sofas.
- Open the relaxation room in the bathhouse. Lounge - this is not a room with cots, as many people think. This is a public place with comfortable chairs and tables, where everyone can sit after a steam room to drink tea, fruit drink or beer.
- The public bath should have a big sink. In this room, people wash, rinse after the steam room, steam the brooms. There are also shower enclosures fenced from each other.
- Steam room - the main bath room. That is why people are in a hurry to visit this place. Everything here should be at the highest level.
- A public bath should be divided into male and female halves. After 22-00 it is quite possible to organize a sauna for relaxation. this will allow to receive round-the-clock income from the bathhouse.
The prices for a single visit to the public bath are several times lower than a visit to the sauna. Otherwise, you will simply lose your competitive advantage. You must organize your bath business so that visitors want to come back to you again and again. This is easy to achieve if you organize in it optimal comfort and homeliness.
