Opening your own butcher's shop is a lucrative business. It can be done in two ways: buy a place in the market or rent your own small store in a separate building.
Required documents, equipment
First, you will need to register as an LLC or an individual entrepreneur. If you plan to open a chain of stores, then the first option will be the best.
In order to be able to sell meat products, you will need to collect all the necessary documents: quality certificates for meat and meat products, a veterinary certificate, permission from the Rospotrebnadzor authorities. You also need to obtain a license for this type of activity.
The second stage is choosing a location. You can build a shop, or you can rent a small room.
To operate the shop, you will need the following equipment and tools: refrigerated display cases, refrigerators, a cash register, a cutting table or a bath for chopping meat, a sink, a set of knives, scales, cutting boards, a meat grinder, meat hooks, baking sheets, minced meat shovels, basins, buckets, brushes and other small inventory. Personal transport may be required for the delivery of meat.
Raw materials are best purchased from private livestock breeders. The assortment of goods should be large. Not only beef should be included, but also pork, poultry and other meats. For work, you will need to hire staff. Optimally, there should be 2 vendors, a security guard, a meat chopper and a boss. The butcher's work schedule should be daily.
Necessary costs and profits
In order for this business to become profitable, proceeds from the sale of meat and net profit are of great importance. Net income is calculated as a deduction from the total proceeds of the main costs.
The costs of opening a butcher shop are associated with renting premises, paying money to staff, purchasing raw materials and equipment. With a small butcher's area, for example, 10 meters at a price of 1 sq. meter 1,500 rubles per month, the rent is 15 thousand rubles per month. The salary for the sellers is 15 thousand rubles, the total is 30 thousand. The wages of a guard and a butcher are 9 thousand, transportation costs will be about 6,000 rubles. The purchase of equipment will have to spend about 150 thousand rubles.
The average purchase price for meat is 120 rubles per 1 kg, if you buy 30 kg every day, you get 108 thousand rubles a month (120 * 40 * 30). Registration costs about 30 thousand.
Thus, the costs will amount to 177,000 rubles (15,000 + 48,000 + 6,000 + 108,000).
The price of 1 kg of meat is on average 230 rubles. If you sell 30 kg per day, then the monthly revenue will be 207 thousand rubles (30 * 230 * 30). The net profit from a butcher's shop can be 30 thousand rubles. Therefore, opening a butcher's shop is a very promising business.
