Instruction manual

1

To start any business, you should calculate investments, variable and fixed costs, turnover and profit. All these and other data should be contained in the business plan, which acts as the chief assistant and adviser to the entrepreneur. If you have enough knowledge and skills, then you can write it yourself, otherwise contact a specialized organization.

2

Execute registration documents. This is a certificate of registration of an individual entrepreneur or legal entity, TIN.

3

Find a suitable room. Pay attention to the choice of location. It should be a crowded street in the city center or a pavilion in a large shopping center. It is desirable that the room was quite large, so it will be possible to make several rooms in the store.

4

To open a weapons store, you need to get a license from the internal affairs bodies, so you need to make sure that the room meets all the requirements (it is necessary to have a fire alarm, fire extinguishing equipment, an additional energy source, bars on the windows, a protected weapons warehouse).

5

Your store should have a beautiful, memorable name. Pay special attention to this.

6

Make repairs in the store. It is desirable that the interior be "rich" as well as functional. The right choice of decor elements is very important. For registration, leather, furs, forged products are suitable. Do not forget about the exterior design. Be sure to place a sign or banner at the entrance.

7

Get trading equipment. You may need open stands located behind the seller, glass cabinets, cabinets, hangers, racks. Pyramid racks for weapons look great. It is imperative that each display case be equipped with an alarm system and, if possible, be shockproof.

8

Make a contractual relationship with suppliers. You can sell in the store both expensive branded guns and rifles for hunting, carbines, smooth-bore and rifled guns of domestic production. In addition, self-defense means are well used, for which no special permission is needed: stun guns and gas sprays.

9

The best means of advertising would be the creation of a shooting range and a hunters' club on the basis of the store. Organize a celebration in honor of the opening, arrange various promotions, give customers discounts and gifts.

10

The store must have a small arms instructor or specialist who can handle any weapon. This should be considered when selecting employees.
