Butcher shop business plan

Opening your own butcher shop is a profitable business. There are two ways to implement it: buy a place on the market or rent your own small store in a separate room.

Necessary documents, equipment

First, you will need to register as an LLC or individual entrepreneur. If you plan to open a chain of stores, then the first option will be optimal.

In order to be able to sell meat products, you will need to collect all the necessary documents: quality certificates for meat and meat products, a veterinary certificate, and permission from the Rospotrebnadzor authorities. You must also obtain a license for this type of activity.

The second stage is the choice of location. You can build a shop, or you can rent a small room.

For the shop to work, you will need the following equipment and tools: refrigerated display cases, refrigerators, a cash register, a cutting table or bathtub for cutting meat, a sink, a set of knives, scales, cutting boards, a meat grinder, meat hooks, baking sheets, minced shovels, basins, buckets, brushes and other small equipment. Meat may require private transportation.

Raw materials are best bought from private breeders. The assortment of goods should be large. It should include not only beef, but also pork, poultry and other types of meat. For work, you will need to hire staff. It is optimal that there are 2 sellers, a security guard, a meat cutter and superiors. Butcher shop hours should be daily.
