For a long time, chocolate was consumed in liquid form and only in the middle of the 19th century it was first released in the form of a bar, which immediately gained popularity among representatives of all segments of the population. And if earlier chocolate was worth its weight in gold, now anyone can buy it. With the help of this delicacy, you can start your own "sweet" business by opening a shop selling chocolate.

Instructions
Step 1
Make a business plan and try to gather as much information as possible about chocolate. This will allow you in the future not to be mistaken with the choice of a quality product and to decorate the interior of the future store beautifully.
Step 2
Study the details of various suppliers in detail and start negotiations. Some large chocolate makers offer very favorable terms. For example, they agree to help you implement your idea, but at the same time their products should prevail in your store. This option is ideal for those who do not have enough money to start a business.
Step 3
Find the most suitable place and room. Complete all documents for renting a building or buying it. Take care of cosmetic repairs and check the room for compliance with all standards. Be sure to visit the SES and the fire department and get permission to open this activity. After receiving all the sanitary and epidemiological documents, install the necessary equipment and implement all your design ideas.
Step 4
Hire employee staff and train them to work properly. All employees should be well versed in chocolate varieties to assist the customer in making choices. Make sure that each employee has a medical examination and is in possession of a medical record with permission to work in the industry.
Step 5
Take care of the advertising of your store. Print special business cards with your address and corporate logo and saturate them with a special chocolate-scented solution. By distributing such business cards, you will attract more and more new customers. From time to time arrange tastings in the store, and for large purchases make bonuses, give gifts and discounts.
Step 6
In no case do not sell expired goods, otherwise you will quickly ruin your reputation without having time to turn around properly. Be sure to monitor the conditions in which your goods are stored, and do not allow sudden changes in temperature.
