Investing in a store is the first step in many successful businesses. However, before you open a store, what is the first step?
Is a hardware merchant suitable for opening a shop or for a shop?
Open shop and counter shop, as the name implies, the former is a self-made, the latter is to take over the business of others. If the two are superior or inferior, the benevolent sees the person, the wise sees the wisdom, and needs to be carefully evaluated.
The store is definitely the most labor-saving, such as license applications, etc., can eat "ready-made rice." And opening a store is different, must start from scratch, from the initial personnel planning, training, to store decoration, goods procurement, marketing and publicity ... ... each link must be their own grasp, their own planning, it is troublesome and tiring. However, for entrepreneurs, instead of eating ready-made meals, it is better to use their own efforts. Sometimes, the process is more important than the result, because the process of starting a business is the process of summing up experiences and lessons and continuously improving one's ability.
The advantages of the shop are also more obvious, because the original shop must have its own fixed source, do not invest too much money, and immediately have cash income for turnover. When opening a store, the biggest problem is the source of the initial stage, it takes time to develop, but also to invest, not only the investment required to open a store, but also cash flow. Therefore, from this point of view, opening a store is not dominant.
For example, the debt of the old shop, taxation and other financial issues, legal issues such as contracts, equipment quality issues... The risk against the store is much greater. All of these are sometimes difficult to see at a glance. If you are not careful, you fall into a trap.
Xiaobian suggestions:
If there is no problem with the capital turnover of the merchants, since the start-up, they still start from scratch. However, if you have limited funds on hand, you may wish to consider against the store.
What is the risk of renting shops to buy shops?
The vast majority of entrepreneurs have limited funds, so renting shops is a more reasonable option.
Due to the tightness of shops, many people pre-rent their stores to developers. However, in pre-lease, four issues should be especially noted:
1. Find out if this store is in compliance with pre-sale conditions for commercial housing and whether the developer has obtained a pre-sale permit for commercial housing.
2. After signing the Pre-lease Contract for Commercial Premises, the lessee and the developer shall, within 15 days, hold a pre-lease contract and other related materials to register with the real-estate transaction center for registration of the pre-lease contract.
3. The renter must understand that the developer can enter into a pre-rental shop to use the transfer book and deliver the house only after the pre-leasing shop is completed and the real estate license is obtained.
4. After the delivery of the house, the renter should go to the real estate transaction center in the district/county where he/she is to obtain a registration record for the lease contract.
Although there are fewer people who buy shops and start businesses, others are willing to take this risk, so remind you to pay attention to four issues:
Whether the selected store can meet business objectives. For example, the value of stores that can operate in the catering industry is higher than other types of stores, because not all stores can get approval from the departments of environmental protection, industry and commerce, and fire protection.
The wider the store, the better. If the store's banner is narrow and long, its value will be greatly affected.
It is necessary to study the business climate in the area because the target of consumption for community business is residents in the area. In general, the business radius is within 250 meters to 500 meters as the core circle, and the selection of small and medium-sized shops should be in the core shopping area.
The roads where the shop is located are also very elaborate. It is not the wider the road, the better the business environment. From the current situation, shops on both sides of a street with a width of less than 16 meters have the best operating results.
