There is always a demand for furniture - according to statistics, since 2000, it has been increasing by 15-20%. Therefore, the idea of own furniture production is quite relevant. A small business, unlike a large factory, can produce custom-made furniture and respond more flexibly to the dynamics of supply and demand.

Certificate of entrepreneurial activity without the formation of a legal entity or a package of constituent documents for the registration of a company or partnership
Instructions
Step 1
Obtain the necessary documents and a license for the right to operate.
Step 2
Analyze the market for furniture production in your city and region. Choose for yourself the main direction in which you will work - the production of upholstered furniture, office furniture, custom-made furniture, etc. Identify competitors, take note of their flaws.
Step 3
Pick up the premises. There should be at least two of them - a salon store, which will also house an office for accepting orders (if you will produce furniture to order), and a furniture production workshop. Look for a place for a store in places of the greatest concentration of potential customers. A good solution is the city center, hypermarkets, public transport stops. The production workshop, on the other hand, is located not far from the city. Renting a room there is cheaper, moreover, the inevitable noise will not disturb anyone. Of course, the best option is an office, a workshop and a showroom in one place.
Step 4
Purchase the necessary hardware and software for production. On the modern equipment market, there is a large selection of machine tools with computer programs for modeling and manufacturing furniture. You will also need a basic set of equipment: a lathe, a milling machine, a panel saw and a jigsaw. Buy or rent a car to transport furniture and materials.
Step 5
Pick up staff. You will need: shop assistants, a designer accepting orders (in the production of custom-made furniture), shop workers (the number will depend on the volume of production), a driver. The receiving designer must be familiar with common manufacturing programs. To work in the workshop, select specialists who are able to work on a variety of machines with different materials.
Step 6
Think over a sales plan, draw up a financial plan.
