In recent years, there has been a positive trend. More and more people are inclined to think about the need to realize themselves in private entrepreneurship. At the same time, many people want to try to start trading for themselves in order to earn capital, and later invest it in a more complex and interesting business.

Step 1
No matter how different and difficult trading is, in all cases its basic scheme is quite simple. If you decide to start trading for yourself, but have not previously encountered this type of business, familiarize yourself with its main components. Any trade is a resale. From the manufacturer or supplier to the end customer or smaller supplier. Schematically, such a business looks like this: • Purchase of goods;
• Delivery to the place of storage;
• Storage;
• Sale (sometimes with delivery) to the buyer. Depending on the specific conditions of trade and the specifics of the goods, some of these links may be missing. For example, food retailing excludes the delivery of goods to the customer. Self-service grocery home delivery businesses are well known, though, and work pretty well.
Step 2
If you want to start trading for yourself, then in addition to the start-up capital for the purchase of the first batch of goods, you should take care of its implementation in advance. Sales management is the most common problem in many trading businesses. Today's competition in virtually every product sector results in a battle for every single customer. Think, maybe you have some competitive opportunities that other market participants do not have. Indeed, in essence, setting up any business process is not as difficult as making the business itself profitable and viable. In trade, profitability is usually determined mainly by the volume of sales.
Step 3
If the specifics and conditions of doing business allow, try for the first time to start trading for yourself informally. This will allow you to avoid wasting time at the stage of starting a business. Later, when you see a real perspective of the business you have started, you can always register the required legal form and register for tax purposes.
