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.

Decide where your office site will be. Would you rent a space or is it your preference to situate it in your home. Some business owners chose their homes to become their business base. This is to save both time and money on their part. Whatever your choice will be, you have to make sure that your place can easily be accessed by your applicants.

Have a phone installed in your office. As much as possible, it should only be dedicated for the business, so avoid using it for personal use. Some clients and applicants may want to call. For this reason, that phone line should be kept open for them, as much as possible. Installing an answering machine, voice mail system or diverting calls to your personal phone promises a more efficient service.

Establish your marketing strategy. You can hire marketers or post announcements on different classified ads offline and online to get clients. You can also tell your employees that they will be given a reward for each referral that they make.

It will be quite important to keep the business alive by continuously receiving job orders. When there are more clients, the merrier. It means you will have more jobs to give to your applicants and better income is in store for your business as well.
