To start work on the sale of spare parts, you need to draw up a business plan. It calculates all the financial indicators of the future company. A business plan can also be useful for obtaining a loan from a bank for opening or developing a business.

The company needs to be registered with the tax authority (suitable IP or LLC). Be sure to choose a convenient tax system. For trading, the ideal option is non-imputed income tax, when monthly contributions are paid in equal installments, depending on the footage of the trading premises. In addition, such a tax system will help save on cash registers and accounting services.
