The idea of starting a business from scratch I came up with in 2001. It only remained to choose the activity. 10's ideas were followed one after another, and some of them are translated into reality, lead ultimately to a desire to recoup the costs, and proceed with the further search. A couple times a desire to throw this venture and go to work in the office. However, the turning point came after a meeting with a former classmate, who was then working in one of St. Petersburg's model workshop. His job was to create architectural models and did not bring it on the special measures of income. Communication with the other gave me some idea of ​​the nature of its work and the work of his superiors, as well as the business processes in the field of architectural layout.

That's when I had an idea to help a friend find him an order "to hack". Then I opened the "Yellow Pages", picked up the phone in his hands and began to ring up the construction companies, offering them a service for creating layouts. The first calls were unsuccessful, as the secretary of big companies loved to play safely and directors took the decision that the models do not need them at all. Thus began the history of creation of my currently successful business!

For five days I got my first order! Customer quickly agreed as the layout was quite a low price, and included maketchika salary and the cost of materials needed for the production layout. The first layout we did in my house. Set the table, purchased materials, my friend doing the layout, and I continued to telephone calls on the yellow pages. The main objective of our work was to attract maximum number of customers. The means to achieve it - low in comparison with the prices of competitors and high quality layouts.

All proceeds from the performance of the first orders have been invested in the registered legal entity, account opening and the creation of the company's website. Within a short period of operation, the company began to receive the order of 3-4 per month! Expanded the company's staff: I needed a sales manager and an accountant, and the other - assistant.

As early as next year, the company the opportunity to have a full-fledged studio of 60 m2 and a group of modelers. After that, the development studio and site promotion has become one of the priorities of the company. By 2006, the number of models created by our studio over 300 pieces, among our customers the largest construction companies and architectural firms. In 2007 we took the first gos.zakaz. And to date, no investment exhibition is not without layouts from "Master Layout".

At the moment, for me, a stable and income-generating, prototyping studio, on the development of which I continue to think now. In this regard, the site has already been created in England and commenced negotiations with British firms-customers.

I also plan to expand, and in Russia, and therefore looking for representatives in other cities and regions for the opening of branches. Terms of cooperation are very simple. For me it is a way to give someone else the opportunity to create your own business from scratch!
