FLOORS

It would be better to Partners And should definitely consider attractive options for additional types of service.

And if you try to join forces to continue to maintain a joint business on the principle of WIN-WIN.

Cyril, when searching through Google the word "floor" second line falls www.etagi.com "real estate agencies", which sells its franchise in the Urals. Here is the site of the franchise: http://franch.etagi.com/ This project could complicate the implementation of your ideas. Or you can draw out a number of good ideas.

Cyril, look for an international project www.homeaway.com - a world leader in the daily rental housing. In 2009, I spoke to the founder of the project for release in Russia and the CIS, but he kept very appreciated this market. But more recently, a Russian analogue of (clone) www.homerent.ru I think that by 2020, the physical presence of the agency in finding accommodation will disappear: payments can already send and receive electronically, risk insurance, and many outsource services. Do you have an advantage: you grow not from Moscow or St. Petersburg, and are at the center of the country - it can be used as a bonus. In these projects (the world) there are 2 types of monetization: fee for posting the information on the website or% of the transaction. The first way - www.homeaway.com. Apparently, you have - the second. This greatly facilitates the growth of the base of the flats, but complicates the billing and paperwork. You near Chelyabinsk - I think a good town to practice scaling the project. As for short-term rent of commercial real estate, this is interesting, but it was wide niche. In Moscow, there are several projects that offer solutions to short-term lease of offices, meeting rooms or just jobs, but some data about the success of this business, I have yet to meet.

Segment interesting and actively growing. Although these airbnb.com Michael is actively developing and including already entered the Russian market, a place for the other sites in this case is more tuned to the local context will always be. It is helpful to create a franchise quite obvious.

The goal is ambitious enough, but it looks realistic. If the company is a profitable business and ready to own a franchise, you need to create a template for success "fabricated" business with a short payback period and convince investors efficiency within such a franchise. Good luck :)

Federal coverage looks absolutely necessary to achieve ambitious goals. We will have difficult times ahead, maybe even the "lost decade" in terms of stagnation in the world economy. Reasons of economy may be the key for many companies, and, for example, placement of traveling in apartments instead of hotels can be popular even for large companies. I would advise you to think about this strategic goal. And I advise to pay attention to this: http://slon.ru/business/bed_n_breakfast-746772.xhtml They - or partners or competitors in the future.

The idea of ​​a federal network in this area is practically doomed to succeed if the team and franchisees enough professionalism and money Humor. It is not entirely clear, in selected cities will be to contract with the office or franchisee with each individual owner of a rented apartment. The second way I would not recommend it.
