Constant economic turmoil forces people to save on literally everything. And last but not least on the shoes. That is why opening a shoe repair shop is a very promising business.
Instructions
Step 1
Decide which shoe format you will open. Much, of course, depends on what means you have. After all, in order to open a shoe repair kiosk, you only need an elementary set of tools and materials. The creation of a shoemaker's atelier, which will have at its disposal special equipment, and where high-class craftsmen will work, will require large expenses.
Step 2
Please note: you do not need any special permits to open a shoemaker's shop. However, you still have to pay taxes. Therefore, issue an IP and register the seal. Otherwise, neither law enforcement officers nor tax inspectorates will be allowed to work in peace.
Step 3
Find a place to work. Depending on the scale of your enterprise, this can be a regular kiosk in a passage, a basement in a residential building, or a department in a shopping center.
Step 4
Think about what types of work your workshop will specialize in. This can be a standard set: replacing heels, instep supports and "zippers", strengthening the heel, gluing shoes or more complex work (tightening shoes, replacing heels). In the first case, you will get by with inexpensive materials, and you will not need to pay high salaries to staff. In the second, you will have to focus on the quality of orders to the detriment of quantity, and the employees will have to have the appropriate qualifications and work experience. But the cost of fulfilling such orders will be quite high.
Step 5
Buy all the materials, tools and equipment you need. Design and design a sign for your workshop. It could be a simple shoe repair lettering made from letters cut from vinyl and pasted onto a sheet of plywood. For an atelier with a higher rank, you will have to order a signboard and outdoor advertising in the agency (you may also need business cards with your full name and the signature “shoemaker”). You can also create a website on the Internet, where you can upload a catalog of the best works, as well as a valid price list.
