Now more and more people are starting to open their own business. This can be the opening of a network of vegetable kiosks, a small toy department in a shopping and entertainment complex, or, for example, a sewing workshop. But before you start implementing your project, you need to take into account some of the nuances.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, decide on the direction of work. You need to understand which type of clothing is worth making. Of course, production will expand over time, but you need to start with one thing. You need to study the sales market, the ratio of supply and demand, in order to find out which product is the most popular. In the case of a sewing workshop, sewing outerwear is a safe bet.
Step 2
Next, decide if it will be a sewing workshop or will it be hired seamstresses who work at home. You can provide homeworkers with sewing machines and other necessary equipment and provide them with work, arriving for finished products. However, there is a possibility that these machines will also be used for sewing "left" jobs. It would be better to open a sewing workshop, although this is associated with the emergence of new items of expenditure.
Step 3
If your choice is your own workshop, then find a spacious room, divide it into zones: a sewing workshop, a sewing room, a warehouse. You will also need utility rooms and a fashion designer's office (in the future). Take care of completing the workshop with equipment. In this case, these are sewing machines. It is recommended to start with 8-10 pieces. You will also need overlocks, specialized presses, cutting knives. You will also need a unit for wet and heat treatment of products. The rest you will buy in addition to the expansion of production.
Step 4
Pick up interesting models, watch the latest fashion shows, look for new items on the Internet. It is important to be different from other companies, to regularly release new original versions of products. And so that your ideas remain within the walls of the workshop, it will be useful to establish control of the negotiations. After all, even a single word spoken out of place can “let go” the entire future collection to competitors.
Step 5
To always be aware of what the shop employees are doing at the workplace, install remote video surveillance. You just need to have a laptop or netbook with you and access to the Internet.
