You have decided to open a point in the market for the sale of consumer goods. How can you start this business in such a way as to recoup all the costs of organizing it in the shortest possible time?
Instructions
Step 1
Visit several markets in your city (assortment, demand, competitors). Choose the form of organization of your outlet (counter, self-service). Determine what products you will sell. Will it be only one type of product (for example, shoes) or are you planning to open a trade in haberdashery, etc.
Step 2
Determine if you have enough funds to start trading in the market. Please note: unforeseen expenses can be a significant part of the costs of starting any business.
Step 3
Do not forget: your organization's constituent documents must contain the correct statistics codes, confirming that your organization will be engaged in trade.
Step 4
Contact Rospotrebnadzor with a notification that you are starting trading. In the notification, indicate the types of goods that you are going to sell. If you plan to trade in food or alcohol, you will need to obtain the appropriate licenses and certifications.
Step 5
When looking to open a point in the market, choose the market that is popular with buyers of all ages and all segments of the population, and not the one that is closest to your home.
Step 6
Get the conclusions of the sanitary and fire authorities if you plan to start trading indoors (at least only in the winter).
Step 7
Purchase equipment and goods. All purchased goods must have all certificates of conformity and quality. If you are going to make purchases in the capital or foreign markets, try to find out in advance from reliable sources about the absence of problems with the law and with the quality of goods from potential suppliers.
Step 8
Don't forget about the counter design and outdoor advertising.
Step 9
Lay out all the goods so that it is convenient to take them from hangers, shelves. Write down the price tags: product name, price, manufacturer (optional).
Step 10
1Hire sellers and take care of the security of your store and the services of movers.
