How to open a warehouse

Judging by the abundance of ads "warehouse rental" or "sell warehouse", the use of the warehouse is now a very popular service. Those who already have their own business (trade or production) can open a warehouse for their products - so as not to buy or rent others. If you just think about a profitable business idea, then you can open a warehouse yourself and rent it out to those who need it, since there is a demand for warehouse services both in the capital and in the regions.

In the event that you need a warehouse to store the products of your company, the easiest way is to open a branch of your company for such a warehouse. A branch is not a legal entity, but it has the right to carry out all or part of the functions of the legal entity that opens it. Therefore, the first step in opening a warehouse is to register a branch of your company. The process of registering a branch is simple - changes are made to the constituent documents of a legal entity, confirming that the company has a branch at a specific address. Changes are recorded at the tax office.

For the direct opening of the warehouse you will need:

1. premises (its size and the cost of rent or construction depend on how large a warehouse is needed).

2. equipment (depends on the products that will be stored on it, i.e. it can be refrigerators, shelves, etc.).

3. warehouse staff.

It is also worth remembering that the warehouse will need to be repaired from time to time.

If the warehouse is a new type of business for you, then to the points described above it is important to add the purchase of a civil liability insurance policy to customers. In general, in this case, it is more important to first determine the potential customers before opening the warehouse. Depending on who will be your key customers, it will be possible to determine the size of the warehouse, a more favorable location, the necessary equipment.

When opening a warehouse (especially as a separate type of business), it should be borne in mind that you should not save on warehouse personnel. Unskilled or lazy workers will not be able to properly ensure that your customers' products are properly and accurately stored, shipped on time, etc.
