The flower business has several benefits. A beginner entrepreneur will not need large investments. You can start small - opening one flower tent. Experts say that it will pay off within a year or faster. It depends on the place of trade.
Instructions
Step 1
Start your business by registering an individual entrepreneur, for this go to the tax office and find out what documents are needed for this. When all the formalities are over, find a place for a flower tent, preferably a busy place in the city center, where there is a large concentration of office space, busy intersections and city markets.
Step 2
You can rent or buy an existing flower tent. If you decide to put your own, then get permission for this in advance from the administration and department of architecture of the city, where you start your business.
Step 3
No special equipment is required for a flower tent. However, it should be borne in mind that flowers are perishable goods; each type of plant needs its own temperature regime to store it. Ideally, it is necessary to purchase a special refrigerated display case for fresh flowers, but if at first there is no money for it, then you can do without a display case. But you will have to buy water tanks, in which flowers, shelves and packaging material will stand.
Step 4
Find a flower supplier for your tent. It shouldn't be difficult. You can search for wholesalers on the Internet, conclude an agreement with a greenhouse or a wholesale warehouse. Depending on the contract, suppliers can bring flowers directly to the tent, or you can drive for them as needed on your own. Many entrepreneurs buy goods together - it turns out cheaper.
Step 5
The assortment of colors in the tent at the first stage can be fifteen positions. Then it should be increased to 20-30. The more choice the buyer has, the more chances he will not leave without a purchase. The amount of revenue directly depends on the assortment.
Step 6
The next step is to hire a salesperson. Do not forget to conclude a contract with him. It is good if you and your salesperson have a special education in floristry. This will allow you to better understand the product, control suppliers and create exclusive compositions and bouquets.
