First of all, go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to register a small civilian store license, the business scope of pet supplies does not include medical and beauty.
1, the pet industry awareness
Open the web page, mail, television, a variety of chain advertisements all over the place. Choosing a good chain program is extraordinarily important. If you choose the pet industry, then at this moment you have to start to do a full understanding of the pet industry. International and domestic pet industry history, pet industry development, pet business scope, pet development status in China, and even pet habits, are necessary homework. When mastered and stand to a certain height to analyze the pet industry, you can have a cool head when choosing a chain project, for the future store operations to pave the way.
2, the injection of funds
Individuals and chain stores, all need money, but the chain will be more economical. Of course, we must first consider how much available funds in the hands of the arbitrary input or careful injection of funds, are not sensible. In terms of pet chain stores, there are eight business projects (pet supplies sales, pet grooming, pet boarding, pet medical care, live sales, pending maintenance, pet park, pet photography), pet store project has four (mini store, boutique, standard store, flagship store) each kind of chain store investment is different. There will also be investment fees and operating deposits injected in the early stages of the chain, and although the deposits can be returned, they are still subject to time constraints, so they must be considered in advance. If then account for the renovation fees and housing costs, tens of thousands of dollars is necessary to prepare.
3, store location
The choice of address for the pet store is the least flexible factor in opening and operating a store, and requires consideration of a variety of factors, including the size and characteristics of the surrounding population, the number of pets, the peer competition, the ease of transportation, the characteristics of nearby businesses, the cost of real estate (rental costs), the duration of the contract, the trend of demographic changes and relevant laws and regulations. A location that is too cold and remote is not suitable for a pet store.

Many store owners are derived from the love of pets, only into the pet industry, and finally achieved brilliant. So the love of pets is a prerequisite for opening a pet store. But rest assured, even if the current interest in pets is not strong, as long as the determination to struggle, then the pet industry will be more rewarding.
