Your own business is a rather difficult task. There are many different details and nuances to consider. However, it always warms the soul that you have to work for yourself. To make your enterprise bring not only joy, but also profit, choose one of the most popular directions. For example, open a household chemicals store.
Instructions
Step 1
To open your own household chemicals store, you just need to register an individual entrepreneurship (IP). After you get in your hands all the documents confirming that you are now a legally private entrepreneur, you can start organizing your business.
Step 2
First of all, select a room. It is not at all necessary to search the outskirts of the city. A sales point selling household chemicals may well be located in the center. The space for the store should be spacious enough and, most importantly, well ventilated. Distribute the workspace so that you can place the product into groups. For example, laundry detergents in one corner, cleaning products in another, and dishwashing detergents in the third. The size of the trading floor must be at least 12-15 sq.m. There must also be a storage room of 10 meters.
Step 3
Purchase equipment. As a rule, special racks are used for stores of this kind. Arrange them so that any customer can immediately see the compartment they need. Be sure to keep the shelves free of clutter. Refit powder bags and disinfectant bottles periodically.
Step 4
Calculate exactly how much household chemicals you want to purchase from your suppliers for sale. Experts have calculated the approximate minimum of such a store. So, for example, you need to have at least 10 different types of detergent in 3 price categories. Shampoos should be an order of magnitude higher - 30 types. As for the soap, it has been determined that the optimal amount is 30 different types in two price categories. However, you should not take these calculations as an axiom. The number of products may vary in one direction or another. You will be able to see these fluctuations only 2-3 months after the opening of the store.
Step 5
Set aside a corner in your store for seasonal products. For example, goods for any holiday or event - candles, souvenirs, jewelry, cosmetics in a certain thematic packaging, etc.
Step 6
Don't forget to set up a payment area for your purchases. Get a cash register.
Step 7
It is very important to find qualified personnel. You only need three employees - two salespeople and an accountant.
Step 8
Take care of your advertising campaign. You can hang a banner next to the store, put up a pillar, or have a person hand out your flyers near shops and public transport stops.
