The pet store needs a small room - at first, a basement with an area of ​​about 20 sq.m will fit. However, it should be favorably located, which implies the absence of competitors. It is also good if your store is located near grocery and other stores, so that it is convenient for customers to come to you along the way to these stores.

Think about what you will be selling at the pet store. Undoubtedly, most often people buy food for dogs and cats and their care. But you can often buy them in ordinary supermarkets. Therefore, it makes sense to diversify the assortment of treats for animals, carryings, medicines. In addition, small batches of goods for aquariums can be purchased, as the popularity of aquariums is growing.

To register a pet store, you can register as an individual entrepreneur. This is not expensive (registration fee is only 800 rubles) and quite simple, as it is done at the tax office at the place of residence.
