1. You need to prepare a copy of the store's real estate license (if you rent a house, you need a rental agreement).
2. Copy some ID cards and one-inch photos.
3. Go to the local industrial and commercial office to apply for a business license.
4. Go to the tax office to apply for the tax registration certificate, and now you need to apply for the industry code certificate in the quality inspection bureau. (It varies from place to place, please consult for details)
5. Apply for invoices after obtaining the tax registration certificate. There are two kinds of invoice applications: one is to pay the same tax amount every month, regardless of the turnover; The second is to pay taxes at the tax rate according to the invoiced amount every month.
6. The whole charge is about 500 yuan, and the time is about 15-30 days, which varies from place to place.
Second, in addition to the above preparations, you also need to do market research. The original hardware store was very suitable for opening in densely populated communities, especially some newly-built communities. The types of hardware stores include hardware, some tools for decoration, and common household items. You can "stroll" around other hardware stores nearby, and you will definitely know the market demand in this area. The situation is different in different places. After investigating competitors, we have to wait for a period of time to analyze the explicit and implicit needs of residents here, and strive for no obvious competitive relationship with other hardware stores that have already operated. In other words, no matter the product or the mode of operation, you should not blindly imitate others, but should come up with a suitable way to open a shop. At the same time, we should also communicate with other hardware stores, so that when the supply is insufficient, we can exchange the needed goods for a rainy day.
Third, everything is available except the source of goods. The next step is to prepare the supply of goods and get through the purchase channels. There should be more types and quantities of inventory, and it is necessary to replenish the stock frequently, so as to make up for the problem of the quantity of stock. Secondly, it should be cheap. If it is not a hardware store in a high-end residential area, things will be cheaper, and people who live by ordinary people will save everything. If things are too expensive, some people will not patronize your store once, and would rather go a long way to buy them in a large supermarket. However, we should also try our best to complete the goods and grades, and only decide the quantity of goods in each grade according to the consumption level of the community. Channels can start from the wholesale market in your city. Although the cost is high, if we can pay attention to and communicate effectively, we can find out the characteristics and prices of various products of various brands in a short time, thus saving time and cost.
Hardware: traditional hardware products, also known as "hardware". Refers to gold, silver, copper, iron and tin. After manual processing, it can be made into works of art or metal utensils such as knives and swords. Hardware in modern society is more extensive, such as hardware tools, hardware accessories, daily hardware, building hardware, security supplies and so on. Most hardware products are not final consumer goods.
The hardware industry has developed rapidly. The most concentrated domestic market of traditional hardware industry is mainly concentrated in mechanical hardware, building hardware, decorative hardware and daily hardware. The trend of industrial concentration in hardware industry is also obvious. Domestic hardware industry is mainly concentrated in Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Hebei, Shandong and other economically developed provinces and regions. The products of traditional hardware enterprises are relatively simple, and many enterprises only make accessories and accessories for other manufacturing enterprises, which are highly dependent on manufacturing enterprises and slow to respond to market demand. Traditional hardware enterprises do not pay attention to the research and development of new products and the extension of the market, which leads to the lack of sustainable competitiveness of enterprises. Faced with more and more specialized market demand and fierce competition, many hardware enterprises that developed rapidly in the early stage felt powerless in the follow-up.
