Instructions
Step 1
To start any business, you should calculate the investment, variable and fixed costs, turnover and profit. All this and other data should be contained in a business plan, which acts as the main assistant and advisor to the entrepreneur. If you have enough knowledge and skills, then you can write it yourself, otherwise contact a specialized organization.
Step 2
Complete registration documents. This is a certificate of registration of an individual entrepreneur or legal entity, TIN.
Step 3
Find a suitable room. Pay attention to the choice of location. It should be a crowded street in the city center or a pavilion in a large shopping center. It is desirable that the room be rather large, so that the store will be able to make several rooms.
Step 4
To open an arms store, you need to obtain a license from the internal affairs bodies, so you need to make sure that the premises meet all the requirements (a fire alarm, fire extinguishing equipment, an additional source of energy, grilles on the windows, a secure armory) is required.
Step 5
Your store should have a nice catchy name. Pay special attention to this.
Step 6
Make repairs to the store. It is desirable that the interior be “rich” as well as functional. The correct choice of decor elements is very important. For decoration, leather, furs, forged products are suitable. Don't forget the outdoor decoration. Be sure to place a sign or banner at the entrance.
Step 7
Purchase trade equipment. You may have a need for open stands placed behind the seller, glass display cases, pedestals, hangers, racks. Pyramid racks for weapons look great. It is imperative that each showcase be equipped with an alarm and, if possible, be shockproof.
Step 8
Enter into contractual relationships with suppliers. You can sell in the store both expensive branded guns and rifles for hunting, carbines, smoothbore and rifled guns of domestic production. In addition, self-defense means, for which no special permission is needed, are well used: stun guns and gas cartridges.
Step 9
The best means of advertising would be the creation of a shooting range and a hunter's club on the basis of a shop. Organize a holiday in honor of the opening, arrange various promotions, give customers discounts and gifts.
Step 10
The shop must have a small arms instructor or specialist who knows how to handle any weapon. This should be taken into account when recruiting employees.
