How to organize a trading business

It is necessary to start trading activities with not very large start-up capital gradually - from smaller-scale undertakings to more and more profitable ones. The first step for many entrepreneurs is the retail sale of food and tobacco products on the street - their own kiosk or stall.

You will need

• - permission of the local administration, fire inspection and Rospotrebnadzor;

• - certificate of registration of IP;

• - "box" of a closed kiosk or prefabricated trading tent;

• -base of suppliers of goods;

• -commerce equipment (refrigerators, scales, cash register);

• -Two replaceable seller-seller.

Instruction manual

1

Get permission to trade in the local administration and agree on your location of the outlet in the department of architecture and urban planning. Register with the tax authorities as an individual entrepreneur, purchase and register a cash register in the same place, concluding an agreement for its further service. Get permission from the fire inspection and the local department of Rospotrebnadzor.

2

Order a ready-made kiosk for street trading or a prefabricated tent (the last option is not welcomed by the administration of many cities, although it costs much less than a closed stall). Bring electricity to the outlet, which will be needed both for lighting in the dark, and for supplying refrigerators, without which it will be difficult for you to do. These refrigerators (for ice cream and for drinks) must also be purchased, except for them you will most likely need a counter scale from commercial equipment.

3

Make a database of suppliers with whom you plan to interact, determine the assortment range, which then will need to be regularly replenished and optimized. If you still have little entrepreneurial experience, talk to people who have already achieved significant success in this kind of trading - speculative logical constructions will never replace live experience.

4

Find several sellers for your outlet, checking them for the most important qualities for the seller to the extent that it is possible with a preliminary acquaintance. The necessary properties of the distributor in a small retail outlet are honesty towards the owner and courtesy towards customers. Remember that even before your outlet begins to function, you should already have at least one person whom you have reason to trust, otherwise there can be no question of the prosperity of your business.

Useful advice

To encourage sellers to do a good job, give them a small part of their daily revenue in addition to the salary part - this will force them to improve the quality of service and attract additional buyers to your outlet.
