What you need to open a store

Almost any store is, first of all, a successful marketing scheme, which will allow not only returning the money spent on opening the outlet, but also then receive a steady income. Therefore, if a good idea for creating a new store has already been found, then its implementation will be just a matter of technology for you.

The first thing that begins with the implementation of the business idea of ​​creating a store is the registration of a legal entity and the receipt of a number of permits from government bodies. It is necessary to register with the local tax office, as well as obtain codes at the State Statistics Committee. Registration with the pension fund and social insurance fund will also be obligatory. The Rospotrebnadzor and the Fire Inspection will show the greatest attention to your store, which still exists only in the project - they should be informed in advance about your intention to open a retail point of sale and let it know your "good". However, at different stages of the store’s creation and equipment, you still have to deal with representatives of these two organizations, whose urgent recommendations you will be forced to listen to. Having made sure that permitting organizations do not mind your intention to open a store in this particular place, start negotiating a rental or even acquiring a room in which the future store will be located. The rental option is still preferable, since no one can be sure of their calculations one hundred percent, and then changing the location and selling real estate, you can incur significant losses. Order an advertising agency or individual designer to develop the corporate identity of your store, from the very beginning to get away from "grayness" and gain a unique image. A set of commercial equipment, if possible, is also best made to order using elements of a memorable corporate identity. This option will undoubtedly cost more than standard solutions for stores that are abundantly on the market, but you should not save on appearance in this case. The base of suppliers with whom you are going to work is large or small (depending on the profile and the scale of the store), you need to have it long before the purchase of the first batch of goods. You need to understand the details of prices and the conditions that suppliers are ready to provide you, focusing on the most advantageous offers. And only having well thought out and forming the assortment range of your store, you can order the first batch of goods. The last link in the mechanism of your future store, without which you can not do before its opening, is the sales staff. Even if at first you intend to take on the functions of administrator, purchasing manager and accountant, you will have to hire sales consultants or cashiers on an ongoing basis. In order to solve the personnel issue with the maximum effect, it’s worth organizing training for your future employees - trainings or preparatory courses that will help them then quickly “get involved” in work or retrain if the sales staff you have selected already have experience.
