1, years of operation
Be sure to ask how long this convenience store has been in operation before changing stores, because it is likely to be a "fake" old shop. Since it is second-hand, we must have thought that this is an old shop with stable operation and would like to transfer it, but it is very likely that this is just a convenience store that has been open all the time, and the boss has changed several times!
In addition to the appropriate location and scale, the transfer store also needs to know how long its business period is. In general, it is recommended to choose a convenience store that 1 boss has operated for 2-3 years or more.
2, check the hardware
Hardware is the facilities and equipment in convenience stores.
For example, check the old and new decoration in the store, check whether the equipment such as freezer is damaged or maintained, and whether all the equipment is complete. If the decoration is poor and the equipment has a long service life, you can bargain with the replacement boss to minimize the cost. In addition, remember to check the validity period of various documents in convenience stores.
Store rent is very important.
Many resale shops are in the lease period at the time of transfer. Whether the transfer is in the form of idling or goods transfer, it involves the transfer of the store. Just like when you rent a house, the contract signing period is 1 year, but you don't want to live for two months and face liquidated damages, so you can sublet the house. The transfer of second-hand stores involves this link and must not be underestimated. First, ask about the rent, mortgage and remaining lease term of the pavement. What is the rent that the owner has paid in advance but has not expired? What is the rent increase after the lease contract expires and every year?
At this time, you can probably know whether the boss decided to change hands because of the pavement. Some bosses suddenly changed hands, and there were also cases of house demolition, landlords sitting on the ground, rising rents and street maintenance. So they must ask in advance to avoid big losses.
When signing the contract, you must also sign it face to face with the landlord, and everything needs to be confirmed face to face with the landlord. Unless you find a boss who specializes in buying and selling second-hand landlords, you should always look for a first-hand landlord who holds a real estate license. Water and electricity meter reading, property fee payment, etc. Better hand it in at the same time.
4. Profit evaluation
A convenience store that can make money, "good location" is the first element. For those who don't know the location of convenience stores, you can read the following article, which analyzes the four elements necessary for a good location and store location.
Four points for attention in convenience store location, don't be fooled by fever.
Generally, when you ask your boss about daily turnover and monthly net profit, you usually make a false report, and the higher the report, the better, but the actual data is not the case. If you look at a resale store, Bian Xiao suggests that you can spend 5-7 days observing it near the transfer convenience store.
Generally, the transfer fee will be measured according to the flow of people, the market and the size of the pavement. The transfer fee for shops with large flow of people, low rent and large pavement will naturally be high. If the flow of people, the market and the rent are suitable, the transfer fee is slightly higher.
5. Inventory check
If it is transferred with the goods, it is particularly important to count the goods. Generally, the total amount of goods in the shelves and warehouses of convenience stores is mostly above 50,000-80,000, which is not a small sum, especially cigarettes, drinks and goods from Mao Lijiao with higher purchase prices.
In addition to checking the quantity, it is best to look at the shelf life of the product to avoid expired goods. In addition, a careful look at the packaging date can also analyze the actual operation of the store. Generally speaking, as long as the principle of first-in first-out is observed, the speed of goods circulation is relatively fast. If there are more goods in the store, it means that the business in the store is not very good.
Secondly, we must obtain vouchers such as bills and invoices, check the channels for purchasing goods, ensure the formal source of products in the store to ensure the quality, and better understand the boss's purchase price to avoid being charged the difference. If you are a boss who has opened a shop for many years, you must have a lot of supplier channels, and you can also get some resources to reduce the procurement cost.
