The simplest, but not without benefit, form of retail sale is a stall or kiosk that offers people passing by a large selection of "essential goods", as a rule, from the field of groceries and tobacco products. To organize a successful trade and achieve tangible results with your kiosk, you need to take into account the experience of your many predecessors and know some of the tricks of the "stall" business.
It is necessary
- - permission of the local administration to install a stall in a specific place;
- - certificate of registration of individual entrepreneur;
- - permits from the fire inspectorate and Rosporebnadzor;
- - "box" of the kiosk, connected to electricity;
- - a set of commercial equipment and a registered cash register;
- - one or two replaceable seller-distributors.
Instructions
Step 1
Find a place for a stall that seems successful and promising to you, and then try to get the right to start your trading activity there. The fact is that each local administration has a different attitude to small-scale street trade, and the procedure for granting a particular section of the street to an entrepreneur who has decided to open his point of sale here is also different. At least two divisions within the administration - the department of trade and the department of architecture and urban planning - must give their consent to the location of the stall in a specific place.
Step 2
Register as an individual entrepreneur by writing an application for the right to use the simplified taxation system; coordinate all formal issues with the fire inspectorate, whose representative will then have to take the already equipped point from you. Since the assortment of your kiosk will include a variety of food products, you also cannot avoid close attention from the Rospotrebnadzor - it is better to immediately go to this institution "on the carpet" and test the ground for further interaction. Get a cash register, register it with the tax inspection body and try not to get caught selling goods "past the checkout".
Step 3
Find an offer to sell a used kiosk that can be dismantled and moved to your desired location. Finding a "box" of a kiosk at an affordable price should not be too difficult for you - similar offers are in all advertising newspapers and on electronic bulletin boards. Your task is to save as much as possible on the purchase and installation of the kiosk; this can be achieved if you personally participate in the preparatory work and carry out a small repair of it before the opening of the stall.
Step 4
Purchase the commercial equipment necessary for the operation of the retail outlet - racks, wooden trays, scales, a refrigerator for storing ice cream and perishable food. Before purchasing the first batch of goods, you now only have to find a replacement seller, if you yourself intend to trade in the kiosk, or two, if you are not going to work at the point personally. Searching for a dealer is perhaps the most crucial moment in the process of opening a stall, since your revenue will largely depend on this person. Try to find someone who will not abuse your trust too much and who will treat the job as conscientiously as possible.
