A street stall can become a starting point for a business ascent for any entrepreneur - if the business goes well, soon one outlet will turn into a network of kiosks, and then there will be an opportunity to invest the earned money in opening a small store. After all, do not forget that if an entrepreneur is successful in small retail on the street, then he will be able to undertake larger-scale undertakings, the only question is the speed of accumulation of start-up capital.
It is necessary
- - a piece of land on which the kiosk will be located;
- - kiosk body;
- - a set of commercial equipment (including a cash register and a fire extinguisher);
- - a package of permits (from local authorities, fire inspection and Rospotrebnadzor);
- - base of suppliers of goods presented in the assortment of the stall.
Instructions
Step 1
Find out before choosing a stall location and reassuring yourself in advance what your city's street trading policy is. In some cities it is not difficult to install a stall in a more or less free place, while in others the installation of retail outlets is strictly limited. It may turn out that you will have to choose only from those places that will be indicated to you in the relevant department.
Step 2
Order a new building of the future trade booth or negotiate with someone who wants to dismantle and sell their old stall. If you take on the job of dismantling and transporting a stall, its former owner will certainly agree to give you a good discount. Therefore, the option with a used kiosk is, of course, more acceptable for a novice entrepreneur.
Step 3
Form an assortment range for your stall and start establishing good business relationships in advance with the suppliers of the goods you intend to sell. The assortment of the street kiosk is more or less standard and can only be supplemented with vegetables, fruits and bakery products, so it is not difficult to compile a supplier base even before the kiosk opens. when purchasing a product for the first time, try to present as many product names as possible, then weeding out those positions that will be in low demand.
Step 4
Purchase trade equipment for the kiosk - racks, wooden trays, a refrigerator (if you plan to sell ice cream and chilled drinks), scales (if you plan to sell fruits or vegetables by weight). You must also have a cash register and be in full readiness for the first check by the tax office, whose employees will fine you even for a single case of selling goods bypassing the cash register. Do not forget also about a new serviceable fire extinguisher, in the presence of which the fire inspection staff will only agree to give you permission to use the trade booth.
