The initial investment amount is 532 000 rubles.

Break-even point reached on the fourth month of work.

The payback period is from 14 months.

Average net profit 46 000 rubles.

Return on sales 16 % .

2. Description of the business, product or service

In this business plan, we are considering a small grocery store with an area of ​​20-25 m2 in a residential area in a place with high traffic. It can be in a detached building or on the ground floor of a multi-storey building.

The food industry is very competitive. As a rule, on weekends, people shop in hypermarkets. However, due to the fact that people often need to buy certain products after work, and there is simply no time to go to supermarkets, the demand for convenience stores remains high.

Before opening a store, you need to carefully consider the assortment, pricing policy, and make a forecast regarding future sales of specific groups of goods. In other words, you need to calculate in advance what will be in great demand among buyers. There is no universal algorithm for compiling an assortment - almost all entrepreneurs are looking for "their product" by trial and error, conducting a thorough analysis of incoming demand and sales.

Here we present the most standard assortment range.

• Meat and sausage products;
• Vegetables and fruits;
• Dairy;
• Grocery;
• Confectionery;
• Soft drinks;
• Low alcohol products.

Also, to maximize profits, you should add essential household goods (matches, soap, household chemicals, etc.) and pet food.

Grocery store opening hours: 9:00 am - 10:00 pm daily.

3. Description of the sales market

Customers come to the store near the house after work to buy the necessary food for dinner. Children, young mothers, pensioners also go to such outlets.

Analyzing the indicators of monetary income per capita in recent years, a positive trend can be noted: since 2009, the average per capita monetary income of Russians has almost doubled. (Information received from the official website of the Federal State Statistics Service of the Russian Federation)

Average monetary incomes and expenses per capita in Russia for 2009-2016, rubles.

As incomes grow, consumer spending grows. Consequently, the cost of food increases. Consumers are already choosing to buy better quality products.

Consumption of basic food products in the Russian Federation (per capita per year; kilograms)
Meat and meat products in terms of meat
including meat and meat products without category II offal and raw fat
Milk and dairy products in terms of milk
Eggs and egg products - pieces
Vegetable oil
Potato
Vegetables and food crops
Fruits and berries
Bread products (bread and pasta in terms of flour, flour, cereals and legumes)

This table confirms the stability of demand for food products, and also helps to navigate the store's assortment. (Information received from the official website of the Federal State Statistics Service of the Russian Federation)

4. Sales and Marketing

5. Production plan

Let's outline the main stages of launching a grocery store.

Registration with government agencies

• We recommend registering in the form of an individual entrepreneur.
• The best code for registering a business will be the OKVED code - 47.2 - "Services in retail trade of food products, tobacco products in specialized stores."
• After receiving the registration certificate, you need to draw up a lease agreement for the premises. It is necessary to obtain permits from the firefighters, for this the room must comply with all required standards: be not lower than the first floor, have an emergency exit, a fire extinguisher. In order for the sanitary and epidemiological station to give the go-ahead for the work of a grocery store, it is necessary to prepare:

1. contract for the sanitization of the premises;
2. garbage collection agreement;
3. food waste disposal contract;
4. sanitary books for all employees.

• The store should be equipped with a consumer corner with copies of licenses for the sale of alcohol and tobacco products, certificates of quality and compliance with SES standards, a certificate of registration of a legal entity, a book of reviews and suggestions.
• It is planned to use UTII as a taxation system. We believe that this is the most favorable taxation regime for a store, when the amount of tax does not depend on the income of the business.

Search for premises and repair

A potentially profitable building is located no further than 100-150 meters from four high-rise buildings (which are home to about 1500 people).

The following requirements are imposed on the premises:

• The premises can be either owned or rented;
• Room area - from 20 m2 to 25 m2;
• Availability of sewerage, water supply, utilities, powerful electrical networks for refrigeration equipment that meet the technical requirements of the equipment;

Accessibility of access roads to the building.

Supplier search

Particular attention should be paid to finding suppliers. The best option is the delivery of products from large wholesalers on a cyclical schedule, it can be carried out on its own. A promising option is the purchase of agricultural products directly from farms. Such a solution will save money on intermediary services and provide buyers with fresh and high-quality products.

6. Organizational structure

As a rule, when one outlet is opened, the owner of a grocery store himself becomes a manager and does not charge himself a salary to minimize taxes.

Main staff:

• 2 sellers working in shifts 2/2;
• cleaning woman.

Basic requirements for sellers:

• activity;
• high communication skills;
• benevolence;
• honesty;
• discipline;
• responsibility.

Sellers are required to have medical records.

Each seller has a salary of 12,000 rubles. and the bonus, which is calculated as follows:

Premium part of salary - 5% of proceeds

The cleaning lady has a fixed salary of 10,000 rubles.

The full calculation of the payroll with the bonus part and insurance premiums is presented in the financial model.

7. Financial plan

The investment in opening a grocery store looks like this.

Let's give a simple example of a business plan. It should be borne in mind that this is only one of the possible options, and it is presented in a very compressed form.

Target: To produce confectionery, mainly cakes, for the residents of the city. Take a leading position in the upper price segment in this market.

Tasks:
1. Create a compact confectionery shop.
2. Provide the production process with the necessary raw materials and labor, some of which will be hired.
3. Initially occupy 30% of the market segment through the implementation of the developed marketing strategy, which implies squeezing out the main competitors with dumping prices and new recipes for the consumer.
4. Attract the missing investment funds in the bank secured by the available real estate.

An example of drawing up a business plan for an enterprise

Let's consider an example of a production business plan. It is planned to open a small tailoring atelier. Let's consider how promising this business is in a specific market.

1. Summary. Small production opening from January 1, 2014. Ownership - LLC. The planned term is 42 months.

2. General provisions. Purchase of equipment that will allow the use of a variety of fabrics and various finishes. It is planned to partially attract borrowed funds for the purchase of equipment and rental of premises. The sewing service will be provided to the population, as well as to legal entities in need of special clothing, as well as sewing curtains and bedding for subsequent sale.

3. Market analysis and marketing plan. At the moment 350 enterprises are represented on the market. Due to strict adherence to deadlines and quality, it is planned to create a positive image of the company, which will allow it to occupy a niche in the market.

4. Costs. The estimated direct and variable costs, including salaries and premises rent, for 3 years will amount to RUB 13.5 million. Of these, own funds are 50 million rubles. The planned volume of sales will be 15 million rubles, which, after deducting tax deductions, will allow the project to reach recoupment by the end of the third year.

5. Production schedule. Release of 1000 units of goods.

6. Investments. Attracting partners on the terms of joint business.

A short example of a business plan

If you are about to open a shoe repair shop, then, in its most general form, the development of a business plan for an example looks like this:

• - Fixed costs (equipment) - 300 thousand rubles.
• - Variable costs (threads, glue, rent) - 10 thousand rubles.
• - Required investments - 100 thousand rubles in the form of a bank loan at 23% per annum for 10 years with a progressive scale and a 1-year deferral of repayment.
• - Form of ownership - individual entrepreneur
• - Tax deductions 24 thousand rubles.
• - Planned revenue - 20 thousand rubles per month.
• - Revenue in 1 year - 97 thousand rubles.
• - Financial result - 73 thousand rubles.

As a result, the entrepreneur has a reason to invest in this project. The safety margin is large enough that possible deviations from the forecasted values ​​do not lead to financial ruin.

An example of a business plan with calculations

The opening of a small store that sells used children's items also requires a preliminary assessment. Enterprise business plan example:

The assessment of the goods purchased from the population will be made on the basis of the cost of 1 kg.
First, you need to make an assortment of 100 units.
The cost of 1 kg is 400 conventional units. One item weighs on average 1 kg. Thus, the cost of the product will be 100 * 100 = 40,000 USD. The cost of replenishing working capital will be 100 units, which equals 10,000 USD. per month
The lease of the premises will amount to $ 10,000.
Variable costs, including advertising and unforeseen expenses - $ 10

Sales in the first 6 months will be 130 items per month;
in the next - 280 items per month.
The unit price on average will be equal to 250 USD.
Revenue for 1 year = 130 * 250 * 12 + 280 * 250 * 12 = (10,000 * 12,000 + 40,000 + 10,000 * 12 + 10,000 * 12,000) = 420 195 - 361 240 = 58 955.
The tax will be $ 25,000.
Financial result - 33,955 c.u.

At first glance, the business seems attractive, given the low entry costs and quick payback, but after performing a simple calculation, the entrepreneur will come to the conclusion that the profitability is very low and, although the risk is small (the product is in stable demand), it is unprofitable to engage in this business without reaching the scale ...

View a sample business plan

Schematically, planning, for example, growing vegetables looks like this:

1. Summary. This is a summary of the remaining pages.
2. Marketing part. Who will be the buyer and how will it be possible to conquer the market? Estimated part - 5 tons of carrots at 100,000 USD
3. Costs. Lease of a land plot and inventory - 27,000 USD
Remuneration for hired labor - USD 30,000
4. Revenue- 23 USD
5. Sources of funding. Bank loan for 50,000 USD at 18% per annum for 10 years.
6. Financial result- 9 USD

This activity, if the pessimistic scenario is fulfilled, will not generate income at all in the first year. In addition, an entrepreneur will be able to fully work and invest in development only in the field of repayment of the entire loan amount.

Summary

Purpose: opening of a grocery store of "Near the house" format in the city of Krasnoyarsk.

Objectives: supplying residents of the nearby area with food, opening a profitable grocery store in a large city - the center of the Krasnoyarsk Territory.

Initiator of the project

The initiator of the project is a private person who already has at his disposal 3 grocery stores of the same type. The entrepreneur has more than 5 years of experience in this business, and the retail outlets at his disposal have a profit during the entire period of work.

Investment costs

To open a retail outlet, investments in the amount of 1,400 thousand rubles will be required, which will be spent on renovating the premises and purchasing equipment. Due to the existing established relations with suppliers, the entrepreneur has the opportunity to receive products with a delay, which on average for all product groups is 15 days. This will allow you not to invest in working capital.

The distribution of investments by areas is presented in the following table:

Financing the project

The store opening will be funded from two sources:

• own funds of the project initiator - 50% of the total investment amount
• bank loan - 50% of the total investment amount

It is planned that the bank loan will be provided for a period of 5 years at 19% per annum on the security of a retail outlet owned by the initiator with an annuity schedule of loan repayment. The total loan amount will be 700 thousand rubles.

Payback indicators of the project

Based on the estimated costs and income of the grocery store, as well as on the basis of the prerequisites that will be discussed further in the financial part of the business plan, a model for calculating the payback of the project was built. The main payback indicators are presented below:

• inflation - 10%;
• simple payback period - 4.6 years;
• discounted payback period - 5.6 years;
• NPV - 1,363 thousand rubles;

These payback indicators indicate the high efficiency of investing money in opening a grocery store and the high attractiveness of the project for investors.

Product Suppliers

Due to the small area of ​​the store being opened, it is not possible to place all possible suppliers of products on the shelf. In this regard, in each product group, it is supposed to select one or two of the largest suppliers-manufacturers of products and work with him. The main suppliers have already been identified and work is already underway with them in other stores of the chain. In connection with the increase in the volume of purchases, it is planned to hold overtures to increase the discount from the base price list from some suppliers.

The store will try to work directly with manufacturers of products, but if the manufacturer is not present in the city or does not work directly with small stores or has less favorable terms of delivery, the store will work with wholesale companies offering these products.

Products and services

To date, the range of products in the chain's stores is quite stable and allows you to get the highest profit. A similar assortment is planned to be laid out in the new store. It will include:

• vegetables fruits;
• cigarettes.

Showcases with impulse goods are planned to be placed near the cash registers.

ATTENTION!!!

Practice shows that by ordering a business plan from specialists, you will save time, increase the quality of the finished document by 4-5 times and increase the chances of receiving investments by 3 times.

Production plan

Premises

For the opening of the store, a premise was chosen in the area under construction in the city of Krasnoyarsk. The store will be located on the ground floor of a newly built residential building and will have a separate entrance facing the street. Shop with an area of ​​150 sq.m. will have the following premises:

• sales area - 95 sq.m.
• product warehouse - 25 sq.m.
• bathroom - 4 sq.m.
• room for director and merchandiser - 20 sq.m.
• dressing room - 6 sq.m.

The layout of the premises is shown in the figure below:

Working hours

In connection with the introduction of the law prohibiting the sale of alcohol at night, the store will be open from 8-00 to 24-00 without a lunch break.

Manufacturing process

The business processes of this store will not differ in any way from the processes in other stores, but we will briefly describe:

1. The goods brought by the supplier's forwarder are delivered to the store's warehouse, where they are accepted by the store's merchandiser.
2. Information about the delivered cargo is recorded in the information system by the commodity manager and the loader moves to the place where all the products of this group are stored.
3. After the product of the group has run out in the sales area, the floor worker takes out the required amount of products to close the shelf.
4. The buyer, passing by and having made a decision to buy, puts the goods in his basket or cart and goes to the checkout.
5. When paying for the goods at the checkout, the buyer picks up his goods, and the information about the write-off of the goods from the store is automatically passed in the accounting system.

Production cost

In order to make a profit, a mark-up will be made on the purchased product, which will depend on the product group and supplier. The average markup and purchase price for the product groups planned for sale will be the following values:

Product group	Cost (RUB / kg)	Margin (%%)
Milk and dairy products	34,00	20%
Meat and meat products	354,00	25%
Grocery	46,00	20%
Bread and bakery products	13,00	20%
Juice water	57,00	20%
Vegetables fruits	68,00	50%
Sweets	243,00	30%
alcohol	327,00	30%
Cigarettes	49,00	30%

• milk and dairy products (yoghurts, butter, curds, cheeses, kefir, etc.);
• meat and meat products (sausages, smoked meats, sausages, sausages, etc.);
• groceries (cereals, sugar, salt, etc.);
• bread and baked goods (bread, muffins, buns, etc.);
• juices-water (juices, mineral and ordinary water, carbonated water, etc.);
• sweets (sweets, cookies, marmalade, etc.);
• alcohol (beer, vodka, wine, etc.);
• cigarettes.

Marketing plan

Competition

The retail food market is very competitive. The city has several thousand grocery stores, several large and small grocery markets and several hundred grocery stalls offering both fruits and vegetables and alcohol.

However, today it is no longer planned to place grocery stores in this microdistrict, which will maximize the direction of residents of nearby houses to our institution.

Location

The location of the store is quite convenient. Firstly, it is located in a new district under construction, the cost of apartments is quite high, which will keep the store at a high level and increase not only the quality of service, but also the prices of products.

Range

Having similar stores in its network, the initiator of the project decided to provide the following range of products in the store:

• milk and dairy products (yoghurts, butter, curds, cheeses, kefir, etc.);
• meat and meat products (sausages, smoked meats, sausages, sausages, etc.);
• groceries (cereals, sugar, salt, etc.);
• bread and baked goods (bread, muffins, buns, etc.);
• juices-water (juices, mineral and ordinary water, carbonated water, etc.);
• vegetables fruits;
• sweets (sweets, cookies, marmalade, etc.);
• alcohol (beer, vodka, wine, etc.);
• cigarettes.

Within the group will not be bloated due to the limited area of ​​the store, the products in the group will be selected in such a way that they have the highest turnover.

SWOT analysis

Based on the conducted marketing analysis, a SWOT analysis of the new grocery store was carried out from various angles, where the strengths and weaknesses of the enterprise, as well as the difficulties and development opportunities, were identified.

Strengths:

• location - the store is located in a neighborhood where there are no more similar grocery outlets, and the population has sufficient income to purchase products in sufficient quantities for this project;
• the novelty of the store - new renovation, pleasant lighting, equipment will attract consumers to the store and not spend a long time on equipment repair.

Weaknesses:

• unknown brand will not allow to build up a customer audience very quickly;
• in connection with the opening, it will take some time to find qualified personnel to work in the store.

Difficulties:

• when one of the grocery stores of the federal chain (pyaterochka, magnet, coin, etc.) is located in the immediate vicinity of this store, a strong drop in revenue is possible.

Possibilities:

• obtaining additional discounts on products from suppliers with a good increase in sales;
• expanding the range of products with good store traffic.

Price policy

The store will offer products at prices higher than the city average for two reasons:

1. apartments in the development area are aimed at buyers with an average income and above average;
2. the store is located in a residential area far from hypermarkets and discounters, which allows it to slightly raise the margin and receive a slightly higher profit due to this, because the consumer has no choice (to quickly buy something, he can only come to this store).

Prices for products by product group, average markup, share of sales are presented in the table below:

Product group	Cost (RUB / kg)	Margin (%%)	Share in sales	Price (RUB / kg)
Milk and dairy products	34,00	20%	11%	40,80
Meat and meat products	354,00	25%	15%	442,50
Grocery	46,00	20%	10%	55,20
Bread and bakery products	13,00	20%	2%	15,60
Juice water	57,00	20%	9%	68,40
Vegetables fruits	68,00	50%	9%	102,00
Sweets	243,00	30%	19%	315,90
alcohol	327,00	30%	22%	425,10
Cigarettes	49,00	30%	3%	63,70
TOTAL	134,26	29%		173,31

The chart below shows the sales structure of the store's products:

Volume of sales

We will formulate a sales plan based on the area and seasonality factors of existing stores. The average sales volume of a store with a similar area is planned at the level of 1,500 thousand rubles. VAT included.

In addition, in connection with the recent launch of a similar store, we have information on the exit of such a point to maximum sales volumes.

Below is a table showing the seasonality indices for the grocery store.

Below are the coefficients of the store's exit to full sales:

As can be seen from the table, it is planned that the store will reach the maximum sales level (taking into account seasonality factors) in a year.

Advertising strategy

In order to maximize the effect of starting a business, it is planned to conduct an advertising campaign at the time of opening the store and during its operation. As part of the advertising strategy, the following activities are planned:

• production of a sign - 50,000 rubles. with VAT (included in the investment budget);
• facade decoration - 76,000 rubles. with VAT (planned in the investment budget as part of the renovation of the premises);
• distribution of leaflets and business cards - 5,000 rubles. with VAT in the first month of opening;
• decorating the store with balloons by the opening day - 10,000 rubles. VAT included;
• placement of information on price promotions in the elevators of nearby houses - 10,000 rubles. with VAT monthly;
• holding price actions - 30,000 rubles. with VAT monthly.

Organizational plan

Entity

It is planned that the store will be registered in the same legal entity as the rest of the outlets of the initiator of the project. Therefore, he will work on the existing taxation system - income minus expenses and pay 15% income tax.

Personnel and staff structure

The staff of the newly opened store and their salaries are presented in the table below:

Position	Qty	Salary	Prize
Director	1	20 000,00	10% of store profits
Commodity specialist	1	18 000,00	2% of store revenue
Seller-cashier	3	15 000,00	1.5% of store revenue
Loader	2	10 000,00	1% of store revenue
Cleaning woman	2	10 000,00
Hall worker	2	13 000,00	1% of store revenue
TOTAL		86 000,00

The accountant will be outsourced.

The structure of subordination of store personnel is shown in the diagram below:

Financial plan

Prerequisites

To draw up a store payback model, we will use the following macroeconomic and tax prerequisites:

• inflation rate - 10%;
• discount rate - 11%;
• income tax - 15% of the difference between income and expenses;
• Personal income tax - 13%;
• Contributions to social funds - 34.2%.

Payback indicators

Taking into account the previously mentioned prerequisites, we built a mathematical model for calculating the payback of the project, which showed the following results:

• the term for building a model is 10 years;
• inflation - 10%;

Project sustainability

In order to analyze the sustainability of the project to various negative and positive factors of influence, we analyzed what results the model would produce when product prices change (decrease or increase in margins), the volume of investments and fixed costs of the store. Based on the input data, the following table was built, where the NPV project profit indicator changes depending on the change in the input parameters:

Factor name	-20%	-10%	0	+10%	+20%
prices (margin)	1 678	3 456	5 648	7 782	9 813
fixed costs	7 023	6 342	5 648	4 973	4 223
investment size	4 632	5 189	5 648	6 128	6 732

Risk analysis

In order to analyze risks, we will divide them into 4 parts - political, economic, social, technological.

Economic

As it was mentioned earlier, the most serious and strongly influencing risk for the store's activity is the opening near one of the federal brand supermarkets. These chains have good purchasing conditions and can, due to price reductions, greatly drag consumer demand to their side.

A decrease in consumer demand can also greatly affect the purchase of products in this particular store. Customers will go to discounters for basic purchases, and for purchases in our store they will only leave products of daily demand.

Political

Increasing tax rates or introducing new non-tax payments will slightly reduce the profitability of the store, as the sustainability analysis shows (an increase of 20% in fixed costs does not make NPV negative) will not make it unprofitable.

Further strengthening of the fight against alcoholism and the introduction of either additional excise taxes and duties, or an increase in the number of hours of sale of alcohol may become a critical factor.

Social

As of today, we do not believe that this type of factor can affect our store in any way. The microdistrict is already inhabited, people in it live with average income, impoverishment or low birth rate will not be instantaneous.

Technological

Today, such a method of trade is developing as ordering products via the Internet and delivering them to your home. However, this type of trade is still in its infancy and will not greatly advance the traditional type of trade in the near future.

conclusions

The above economic calculations of the example of a grocery store business plan show good rates of return and efficiency of the investment project. Therefore, this project will be of interest to both financial institutions for lending and private investors, and the initiator of the project can count on the successful attraction of funds and their quick return.

Shop business plan

Good day! Today in the article we will talk about how to open your own store and draw up a typical store business plan.

For many requests, I will write today typical store business plan, despite the fact that I have already written the article, there are still many questions, one of them.

Before writing an article, as always, I turned to the Great TOP10 of Yandex, for some reason now this search engine does not really like my site. But she loves my old site biz911.ru too much too much, and you probably guessed that it is he who tops the list and is in the TOP1 place.

It is difficult to criticize oneself, and there is nothing to criticize - the article is actually good, although several misunderstandings of the search engine itself were revealed:

• I was looking for the query “Business plan for a store”, and I ended up with a business plan for a clothing store;
• The article was written in 2014 before the crisis and the dollar shake-up. The old article is no longer relevant even for clothing. The type of activity has changed since the OKVED has changed and, most importantly, all calculations can be thrown into the trash, since prices have skyrocketed by 40% -100% and, of course, information about the opening of a store is no longer relevant.

It's kind of like a preface to an article about opening your own store. So we correct the situation and write a typical business plan for opening a store.

You may legitimately ask why a typical one? It's very simple, there are so many trade directions that I myself will just write shops for 10 years on topics that are asked by visitors to the site and VK groups. The whole month is planned ahead and I write them as much as possible.
