Clothing: start buying and selling
Opening a second-hand shop requires good preparation, but it can be a great start to self-employment, as this type of business is particularly successful in the big cities. Not only are financially weak people among the customers of the shops that buy clothes, but also more and more people who like the so-called "vintage style".
What you need:
- a seed capital
- a good physical store
Plan your business well
- First of all, the financing for your second-hand shop must be in place. If you have not saved up a small amount of start-up capital, then you will probably have to fall back on a loan. Talk to your house bank and ask for a start-up loan for your business.
- Draw up a business plan for yourself and, if necessary, for the bank. This will help you to estimate the costs correctly and to set realistic goals for the coming years. You should base this plan on 5 years. If you need help, please contact the IHK.
- As soon as the financing is in place, start looking for a suitable store. Make sure that you find a shop that is as close to or in the city as possible, as you are also dependent on walk-in customers.
