Beer has always been a sought-after drink; the older generation remembers what queues were lined up on hot summer days to barrels with a draft foamy drink. Nowadays, a variety of beers in bottles or on tap are sold everywhere, from huge supermarkets to small shops.
It can be assumed that such trading gives a very serious profit; This is indirectly confirmed by numerous offers of selling beer outlets on the Internet. But if the business is making good money, why sell it?
Potential profitability of the beer business
The rise in prices for spirits caused by new, stricter legislative requirements for them, on the one hand, and the rise in exchange rates, on the other, increased the amount of beer consumed. Accordingly, it becomes more and more profitable to sell it.
In addition, opening a beer store is not difficult: a simple business plan, no licensing and no need to register a legal entity - registration of an individual business is quite enough.
And, finally, a fairly quick payback: according to experts, it takes two months during the season. According to experts, the opening of a shop selling beer on tap requires no more than one million rubles, including the cost of premises and equipment. These figures, of course, very much depend on the region, where it is planned to open a point of sale of beer.
Problems of the beer business
The main negative point in the beer business is that this product is seasonal, so it is recommended to plan the opening of a beer store at the beginning of summer. In this case, the store will have time to pay off and make a profit, from which it will be possible to pay all expenses in the winter, when the level of sales is reduced to a minimum.
Due to strict legal requirements, you will have to open a point subject to mandatory restrictions:
• the store cannot be located near medical, children's, school and sports facilities;
• the sale of beer should not be carried out at night, from twenty three hours to eight in the morning;
• the minimum total area of a shop selling beer should be 50 square meters;
• selling beer to minors is prohibited, violation is punishable by a large fine.
Reasons for selling the beer business
Experts believe that the main reason is the oversaturation of the market with various points of sale of beer. The possibility of a quick return on investment attracted many entrepreneurs in this area at one time. Now some stores partly do not withstand the competition, partly they are let down by the wrongly chosen business strategy.
Of course, the reason for the sale of the beer business, like any other, may be other circumstances: the owner's move to another region, a change in the field of activity, and the like.
Thus, buying a beer store requires a comprehensive analysis of each proposal in order to avoid any negative consequences in the future.
