Despite the fact that the clothing market is saturated with foreign, in particular, Chinese manufacturers, there are prospects for the development of Russian enterprises. To do this, you need to understand the demands of the market and the specifics of the sewing business.
Instructions
Step 1
Decide what kind of business you want to start. It can be a small atelier that works with a narrow circle of customers, or a workshop that produces hundreds of garments a day. Also choose a specialization. To do this, research the market in your region, think about whether there is a place for your goods in the corresponding quality and price niche.
Step 2
Make a business plan for the project. To do this, determine how many employees you will have on your staff. Consider the room issue. To do this, contact real estate agencies and find out the cost of renting places where you can organize a workshop. Moreover, its area should be at least ten square meters for an employee - this will ensure the normal organization of the production process. If you are only looking to produce clothes and not distribute them, a location in an industrial area of a city or on the outskirts will suit you - prices are usually lower there than in the city center, and you are more likely to find suitable manufacturing facilities.
Step 3
Plan your hardware costs. In addition to professional sewing machines, you will need to purchase an overlock, as well as special devices for equipping clothes with buttons and for creating buttonholes. You will also need ironing equipment - irons and steaming devices. It is best to purchase such products directly from the manufacturer. In this case, you can count on discounts. If in your region there are no official distributors of companies producing the cars you need, make a purchase online.
Step 4
Find start-up capital for starting a business. To do this, you can attract an investor or get a bank loan. But keep in mind that there is little chance of bank financing for a business that does not yet exist. A mortgage can help solve the problem if you have a suitable property.
