How to open a vegetable stall

The initial costs of creating your own vegetable business are the sum of the cost of commercial equipment, payment for the registration of an individual entrepreneur and the first installment for renting a commercial space. Then you will have to regularly spend money on bulk purchases of vegetables and salaries to sellers, not forgetting to pay the rent monthly. If your stall is located at the same time in a good place, the payback period of a business can be less than six months.

You will need

• - Certificate of registration of IP, the necessary permits;

• - "Box" of a trade stall (rented or own);

• - A set of commercial equipment (including a cash register registered with the tax authority);

• - Information on suppliers of vegetables, the most complete information about this market in your region;

• - One or more replaceable implementers working on the system of "salary + percentage of revenue".

Instruction manual

1

Start by resolving formal issues - register as an individual entrepreneur, register a cash register at your local tax authority. Then get the "go-ahead" in licensing institutions - Rospotrebnadzor, Fire and Trade Inspectorates. It will take several months to wait for the issuance of all necessary documents.

Equip the “box” of the trade stall rented by you (or owned by you). To do this, purchase a set of commercial equipment necessary for the retail sale of vegetables - in stalls they usually use a refrigerated display case and special slides for placing goods. You can not do without scales and a freezer for the intermediate storage of purchased lots of vegetables.

3

Think about how you will build work with suppliers, start exploring the vegetable market in your region. Immediately look for the most favorable conditions for purchasing bulk batches of products for yourself, work with several interchangeable suppliers. Build an assortment range of your outlet, try to include at least 50 items in it.

4

Find one or more shift vendors who will work in your stall. Requirements for them are the same as for employees of any other outlet - goodwill towards customers and honesty towards you. The success of the retail point of sale of vegetables largely depends on the nature and model of behavior of the seller.

Useful advice

Try to constantly expand the range of your outlet - supplement the products of local farms with imported goods, in addition to vegetables, offer your customers fruits that are either locally grown or imported from other countries, exotic.

From a single vegetable stall, try to grow into a network, protecting yourself from individual competitors - open new outlets in your area or even in other areas of the city.
