How to open your flower shop from scratch and without a franchise. (Book of Yelcheninov A.A.)


27. To-do list



From thinking about how to create a flower business, you need to go to specific actions and make a list of things that need to be done so that this discovery takes place not only in thoughts, but in reality. In addition, the list will not forget anything.


To open a flower shop, you will need:

1. Decide on the presence of strength, that is, what is required to open a store. This includes obtaining a special floristic education, experience and a desire to engage in flower business.

2. Indicate the amount of cash reward that you will receive monthly. Write everything down on paper. 

3. Availability of money for expenses related to the costs of developing a business. Calculate the pros and cons, determine the size of the amount and add a margin for unforeseen expenses. If you are not good at such calculations, attract a friend of the economist who will help you calculate everything and do it for free.

4. The place where the store will be located. Have you chosen the right place where the sales will take place? Maybe you should look for something else? How many people pass by your store, is it convenient to enter from the side of the street, is there a nearby exit on the highway, can a car with your goods be able to quickly get from the point of sale to the delivery point? And the suppliers? Will a truck with goods be able to quickly reach you?

5. Registration of the organization with the tax office. Your store will need to be registered. Which registration form is right for you. Will it be an individual entrepreneur or legal entity? What documents will be needed to apply to government agencies. Prepare all the papers.

6. Make a list of suppliers. Write down on a piece of paper all potential suppliers indicating the name of their organization, name of responsible persons, contact information (phone, address, email and website on the Internet). Indicate the degree of trust they deserve. 

7. List of tasks and work that will be required to organize the store. What will need to be done for the effective functioning of the business? Think about what you can do on your own, which will enrich your experience, can friends help you, whom can you contact? Write everything on a separate piece of paper. For example, I’ll develop a sketch of the sign, my friend Sasha will make it, and Pasha will pound it above the door and work on the lighting. Indicate the date and time when you will carry out these works and notify your friends about the beginning and deadlines of their completion. Respect your and other people's time.

8. Dates and deadlines. Indicate the dates from the beginning to the time when you plan to open your store. By identifying the time frame for all stages of your activity, you will avoid unnecessary stress and will confidently follow the plan. You will be able to do something earlier, and the other will take longer than planned, but you will clearly know when you must perform one or another action. Remember that you compose schedules, time references and schedules for yourself and the florist team that will work for you, because you strive to become a successful flower shop, one of the best.

So I summarize:

The presence of education and experience is a prerequisite.

The desire to grow your business is a must

The presence of initial capital is desirable, but not paramount. 

If you borrow money from friends, acquaintances, relatives, indicate the most favorable conditions for yourself - be sure.

If you take a loan from a bank on favorable terms, find a reliable bank. Make sure it is reliable, study the information and customer reviews.
