Business plan: a warehouse for storing tires from a car. Tires and their seasonal storage is a promising type of business Why horizontal storage is better than vertical storage

Car owners in large cities are faced with the problem of storing seasonal tires. Few have a rented garage, not to mention their own real estate of this type, and you don’t want to litter the balcony at all, because these are quite voluminous products, which also require certain storage conditions. Many aspiring entrepreneurs, realizing this problem, start their own seasonal tire storage business.

In this article, we will discuss a step-by-step algorithm for opening your warehouse, and also draw conclusions whether it is profitable to do this or not.

Business features

If you start from scratch without a space, then such a business may show low profitability or even go into the red, because it takes time to develop a customer base, and you need to pay rent monthly, the cost of which in large cities is very high.

If you are the owner of a room where you can make a warehouse, then the business idea of \u200b\u200bstoring tires may suit you, you will only need to additionally equip it and provide conditions for normal storage of rubber.

And the third option, the most profitable and effective, is an additional service for tire fitting. You already have an established customer base, and by posting an ad, you will quickly collect a full warehouse of wheels with tires for storage.

It is worth starting such a business in cities with a population of 200 thousand people or more. Since in the regions, the level of salaries simply will not allow residents of small towns to pay for tire storage services, and many of them have their own garages or basements where they store all these products.

What space is suitable for a warehouse?

Garages, basement outbuildings, metal containers, which are usually installed on the territory of paid parking lots where it is guarded, and hangar-type premises can serve as storage facilities.

The location of the premises does not play a big role, but a warehouse located near your place of residence or in the case of tire fitting work will be a plus, so that it is convenient for you to take the wheels for storage and not drive through the whole city to show the storage conditions for a potential client.

Equipment

It is believed that one set of tires (4 wheels) occupy an area in the warehouse, about 1 sq.m. Thus, in a room of 50 sq.m. you can safely lay out about 40 sets of rubber, but usually they build multi-level racks, three or even 4 sections in height, depending on the height of the ceilings in the building. And the useful working area is increased by at least three times, which will allow your business to store 120 sets of rubber on the same area.

Shelving is the main piece of equipment you will need. They are made from wood or metal. In fact, in cases of using wooden bars that you can ask friends for or dismantle old designs of furniture and other used products, you can spend a minimum budget and make beautiful shelving. To give the appearance of the racks, they are painted in one color. Metal structures are more durable and reliable, but the price of buying metal and welding work will be rather big. If you work on the basis of tire fitting, you can also spend money on metal racks, they will pay off with interest.

The second point that must be observed is the storage conditions of rubber. Usually this is an indoor air temperature of 15 - 20 degrees, and a humidity of about 50%. To ensure these indicators in winter, it will be necessary to install a heating system to maintain the temperature, as well as a ventilation system to control the level of humidity in the room.

Security and security systems must be on top. Tires with rims are expensive goods, and by taking them into storage, you take responsibility for not being stolen. A good metal door, the price of which starts from $300 and up. An alarm system with motion sensors, video surveillance, and the subsequent connection of the warehouse for service to security companies will help to avoid unpleasant situations with the loss of client property, and this is a very important point.

A fire protection system with smoke detectors is exactly what a warehouse should have. Rubber burns well and you need to provide maximum fire protection.

Tire storage care

In addition to the microclimate in the room, it is important to properly care for the rubber during the entire period they are in your warehouse.

There are several basic rules.

Without installed discs, tires are stored on racks in a vertical position next to each other.
If the disks are mounted, then storage is carried out in a horizontal position, laying the rubber in a stack on top of each other.
Tires must be free of dirt and dry.
The air pressure in the tires is halved.
Once a month, the wheels with disks are shifted, and free-standing products on the racks are scrolled so that they do not stand in one position for 3-4 months and receive deformation from the walls of the rack. In addition, in this way you will dry them in case of condensation.

Among other things, the room should also be clean, for this it is enough to whitewash the walls and, if possible, lay tiles or linoleum on the floor in order to make it easier to clean.

Where to look for clients?

The next step to starting a tire storage business is to study and implement channels to attract target customers. There are several main approaches here.

Advertising on online bulletin boards, with a detailed description of the service and prices, and be sure to indicate the address of the warehouse.
Own website and contextual advertising.
Posting ads in the residential area in which you plan to work.
Advertising with paint and stencil on asphalt.

When the first customers go, word of mouth will begin to work.

If you plan to open a warehouse for seasonal tires on the basis of a tire fitting or car service, then it will be enough to make a sign on the facade of the building, and customers themselves will recognize and order the service. This is another plus to work in this format.

Registration of activities

In order to work officially, it is important to complete all documents and obtain permits.

open IP.
specify OKVED for activity. For Russia, this is code 63.12. For Ukraine - code 52.10.
get a work permit from firefighters and SES.
staff if necessary.
If the premises are not yours, then sign a lease for the premises.

Since the cost of wheels or tires is high, you need to study the issue of insuring things and the warehouse as a whole from fire and other factors that may cause losses to your business. To do this, you can contact a lawyer who, among other things, will help you draw up a standard contract signed by you and the client.

How much can you earn from tire storage?

Prices for this service will vary depending on the region where you plan to work. On average, storing a set of tires (4 wheels) for the whole winter will cost the client $15 - $25. Or you can offer a monthly maintenance rate of about $5.5 - $7 a set of tires. Based on the number of customers and the saved rubber, you can calculate the approximate profit for the season and month separately.

Conclusions. Tire storage as a business is only profitable in combination with a car service or tire fitting, as it will allow them to earn money on an already compiled base of target customers. We do not recommend considering this activity as the main business.

In fact, it is for our country that the problem of storing a set of summer tires in winter, and winter tires in summer, is one of the most pressing due to the specifics of the climate. Without two sets of tires, year-round operation of the car is impossible, and this means that the car owner has to constantly keep four tires somewhere. Well, if there is a place in the garage or in the country. In any case, twice a year there are ordeals of removing dusty tires from dark corners, transporting them to a tire shop and back. In general, no one thinks about how random storage conditions affect the performance of rubber: not “bald” - and okay. In solving all these problems for the car owner lies a fairly large resource for attracting and retaining customers.

We live in an age of global outsourcing. No one has time to independently deal with everyday problems of medium complexity. Even if a person knows how to change the locks in the doors, gaskets in the taps and sockets in the walls, he prefers to call the craftsmen who specialize in this. This fully applies to the car service - few dig on their own at their leisure in their car, even if they understand something about it. Everything is done by experts. And only carrying and storing tires remains the lot of each individual car owner, as in the days of developed socialism. Meanwhile, the psychology of people has changed a long time ago, and the demand for the service, in fact, has already matured. As soon as the car owner tries to use it once, he is unlikely to want to return to independent fuss with tires. In the same way, few people wash their car on their own for a long time - it is much easier and more convenient to pay money for washing.

Let's say the client is really mature. But is the money that he is willing to pay for the fact that his winter or summer tires just lie somewhere for half a year so important for a car service? And how significant will the costs of providing such a service be for the car service itself (after all, in fact, we are talking about organizing an additional warehouse)? Despite the fact that free space is one of the most expensive resources after time. It is convenient for a car owner to shift this burden onto someone, but is it profitable for a car service to take it upon itself? This is a complex issue. However, by and large, the market has already predetermined the answer to it. The development of the situation is pushing the main players - official dealers - to new ways of attracting and retaining customers, especially in the situation of a sharply aggravated struggle with independent services. The economic situation does not make it possible to make money on sales alone, and dealers began to actively develop not only post-warranty service, but also additional services. And tire fitting in Russia is one of the most attractive types of car maintenance. Not every (fortunately) car will get to the "tinsmith's day". But no one will escape the "day of the tire fitter" (unless, of course, he wants to get to the "tinsmith" already guaranteed). In an effort to attract customers of tire networks and individual independent workshops, dealers are increasingly beginning to introduce and offer seasonal storage services to customers.

Everyone knows how interconnected tire sales and their actual seasonal replacement are in the tire fitting business. We sell to install and we install to sell. So, these are only two pillars of this business. The third is storage. It is he who ensures high customer loyalty. A person, as a rule, mounts tires where he buys. Once. Where he keeps them, he is constantly serviced. And in the end buys new tires.

Attracting and retaining customers is not the only reason why authorized dealers are developing seasonal storage programs. The fact is that the presence of such a service is directly required from them by partner companies if the dealer participates in the leasing program. The presence of a “tire hotel” at the dealer, where tires of the lessee’s cars will wait out the “out of season” tires, is in some cases one of the obligatory conditions of the lessor. And having created a "tire hotel" for leasing, it will be developed for all customers.

Thus, the question arises: how to properly organize seasonal storage? Due to the scarcity and high cost of free space, especially in large cities, the organization of the system first of all requires a competent organization of space. The more tires placed per unit area, the lower the cost of storage. The second problem is logistics and accounting. The more tires you take into storage, the higher the return on investment, but you should not get confused in a large number of storage units, especially during the season of “shoe change”. The problem of order processing speed is also connected with the same season: if the client waits too long, the value of the service in his eyes will noticeably decrease. Fast processing of orders is connected with another human resource: how many people should a tire hotel serve in order for it to successfully cope with its tasks? Finally, the issue of product safety: how to ensure it with a large number of different tires? Here it is necessary to take into account the aspect that if a damaged tire is installed on a car, an accident may occur, for which the “tire hotel” will also have to be responsible.

Having decided to create a warehouse for seasonal storage of tires, all these issues must be taken into account.

Storage by Science

When organizing the storage of tires, it must be borne in mind that they should be stored following certain rules - under adverse conditions and with improper handling, the tires lose their physical properties, as a result, their service life is reduced and they may become unusable. Many people forget or don't know about it. By the way, providing customers with detailed information about the rules for storing tires and the reasons why they must be observed greatly contributes to the appeal of car owners to the seasonal storage service.

The correct storage conditions for tires are described in ISO 2230. To store tires and inner tubes, it is necessary to equip a room - it is unacceptable to keep them outdoors, including under a protective canopy. Such a room should be cool, dry and dark, it should be equipped with good ventilation, and there should be no drafts - direct air flow is excluded. The properties of rubber can change and affect the performance of tires if they are stored at temperatures above 25°C or below 0°C. The optimum temperature is around 15°C. If this requires heating, remove the product from heat sources; in addition, the tires must be protected from direct sunlight or intense artificial light, especially with a high ultraviolet component. Extremely harmful to tires ozone, which has a strong destructive effect. Therefore, there should not be any sources of it in the room, such as fluorescent or mercury lamps. It is also necessary to exclude high voltage electrical equipment, electric motors or any other electrical equipment that can create a spark or leakage of electricity.

High humidity also has a negative effect on tires. The appearance of condensate on them, not to mention the ingress of any precipitation, should be excluded. In addition, tires must be protected from all solvents, oils and greases, including even short-term contact. Tires should be stored freely, without any external loads acting on them.

Proper storage of tires is not such a primitive task as it is commonly thought. It is worth starting its solution with studying the market of warehouse technologies. As a rule, two main methods of tire storage are used in Russia: in bulk and on various racks. Probably, it is not worth explaining that the first is the least convenient and safe, and there is no need to talk about the rational use of space. "Heaping" tires taller than human height, even very carefully, one on top of the other, will not work, therefore, the efficiency of using the premises will be minimal. Nevertheless, this is one of the most common methods in our country, which is practiced even by well-known bus networks. In fairness, the “bulk” also has a positive side: in this case, no additional investments, except for the cost of the place under the roof itself, are required. Thus, at the time of organizing a business, you can invest significantly less money. However, if you do not buy anything at all, you can save even more.

Another widely practiced and well known method is rack storage. You can weld a two- or three-tier shelving from a metal corner yourself, as roadside tire sellers often do. You can buy ready-made racks of a wide variety of designs and quality - there are a lot of offers on the market, any metal products factory or a company that manufactures metal furniture has several types of such products in its assortment. You can order racks for your specific needs, taking into account the premises. It is more convenient to work with such racks, it is possible to use the existing space more rationally. However, one should not expect high efficiency: with a huge choice of manufacturers, almost none of them makes specialized tire racks.

Economical and logistical

Meanwhile, technological progress does not stand still in the organization of tire storage. Relatively recently, a new development of the German company Scholz Regalsysteme appeared on the Russian market, which specializes in technologies for the automotive business and has been researching the issue of the most efficient tire storage for several years. The result of the research was a specialized YeSiReB tire storage system, which, due to the maximum display per unit volume, allows you to store more tires in a smaller area.

YeSiReB is based on the classification of tires by standard sizes developed by Scholz specialists using the most compact display field. YeSiReB makes it possible to maximize the use of all three space parameters: the length, width and height of the room with minimization of working aisles. Unlike methods with a mezzanine level device, the new system does not require flights of stairs, an elevator zone and auxiliary passages due to building up the warehouse with easily assembled cells with low metal consumption to a height of up to 6 meters. As a result, the efficiency of using the premises grows up to 50% - the savings are very tangible, and in terms of renting the premises - permanent. An important advantage of the cells is also the ability to easily and quickly disassemble them and transport them to a new location.

But YeSiReB is not just racks, albeit modern ones, of high quality and with well-thought-out ergonomics. The system allows solving not only the problem of economical placement and proper storage of tires, but also such a complex and urgent issue as the logistics of the received property. This is especially important in the case of seasonal storage of customer tires, when it is necessary not only to know exactly where the goods of a certain name are located, but to find a very specific tire belonging to a specific owner. And there are hundreds, if not thousands, of such tires. YeSiReB offers a turnkey warehouse technology that also looks convenient and attractive to end customers. Each set of tires has its own cell, a special sticker with its data is attached to the tire, and the owner receives a control card that can be pasted inside the car until the next “change of shoes”. The owner of YeSiReB receives a product for managing tire storage, which includes a classifier, marking, reporting forms and an address storage system.

Since one of the features of the system is the use of the upper part of the volume of the warehouse, Scholz Regalsysteme offers a specialized electric order picker for work at height. In fact, this is a small autonomous electric car with a cradle and a cargo platform on a retractable lifting boom. The order picker is characterized by compactness and mobility, it does not require special management skills and has several degrees of security. In addition to the order picker, Scholz Regalsysteme has created a whole range of specialized tools designed for quick and easy acceptance, storage and issuance of tyres. All these technologies have even allowed the company to get into the Guinness Book of Records for high-speed storage of tires. The entry in the Book reads literally the following: “Only the YeSiReB system made it possible to load 128 wheels of 225/45/17 dimensions in a record short time - 8.59 minutes on an area of 1 x 2.16 m with a rack height of 5.24 m.” It is worth adding that the record load was carried out by only two workers. This is another advantage of the system: two employees are enough to manage the maintenance of a warehouse of almost any size, with one person working in the receiving and the other in loading and unloading tires. Given that the computerized system allows you to plan ahead for the reception of customers, you can manage the queues. It is clear that in the season of mass “changing shoes” this is one of the decisive competitive advantages: having seen the line, a potential client can go in search of another company, “where there are fewer people”. Using the YeSiReB system will allow you to constantly collect these "surplus customers" that other companies did not have time to serve.

However, no matter how attractive the use of modern high-tech warehouse systems, any businessman is concerned about the issue of price. The cost of the YeSiReB kit starts from 1500 euros. According to calculations, the payback of the system in the capital can come within three months with a 100% warehouse load, in the regions - within six months. At the same time, it is obvious that, one way or another, it is possible to store tires without using any technology at all and without investing any money. You can calculate such one-time savings in one moment; it is, of course, more difficult to calculate losses from losses of time and lost profits from customers who have gone to competitors. In addition, another aspect must be taken into account. Seasonal tire storage is a fairly new service in our country. The middle class is not yet accustomed to paying for this, and when offering storage to customers, it is necessary to advertise it more boldly. People need to be made to feel the convenience and benefits of using a "tire hotel". At the same time, as with everything new, seasonal storage is primarily used by upper segment customers, for whom the cost of this service simply does not matter, but its quality and level are important. And here, of course, it is worth offering a specialized branded system, and not just ordinary shelving, because you need to make sure that you do not have to blush if the client suddenly wants to get acquainted with the place where his precious tires are taken.

Hello everyone!.. We continue to explore the vast world of business ideas and bring this knowledge to you.

I apologize for yesterday, it's just that our site was inadvertently deleted, we had to restore everything.

Today we will tell you about the newest and perhaps the most profitable idea of the outgoing 2012.

The most interesting thing is that this case does not require any super knowledge.

As always, you will be required to share funds for the purchase of the necessary components. Believe me, the funds invested in this business will return threefold. Let's not stomp around and start ...

Every year, millions of motorists wager and cannot solve the same problem. And it's not like you might think.

Those who live in apartments and do not have their own garage simply have no idea where to put a set of winter tires.

Since ancient times, drivers have found more and more new tricks: they put "shells" in the yard, stored rubber on the balcony, spent time and money building a garage.

However, times are changing and now it is not so easy to do the above things. You will be required not only to shed blood and sweat, but also to go through fiery copper pipes with boiling water.

This is where special organizations come to the rescue and provide you with storage space for a small fee.

As you probably already guessed, we will try to open such an organization and make a temporary storage warehouse for winter tires only.

Do you think this is a disastrous and worthless business? ... Then read on.

Business at the opening of a warehouse for storing car tires

I think this question arose for you as soon as this article appeared.

To be honest, when I learned that such establishments appeared in Russia, I also did not particularly harbor hopes.

However, I was soon told what the annual turnover of capital from these warehouses is obtained.

According to the data, the smallest amounts for the year vary in the range from 500,000-1,000,000 rubles. So there are no jokes here and it's worth paying attention to it.

If you think about it, everything explains itself, but it is recommended for this business.

If you started this warehouse in a big city and conducted a normal advertising campaign, then getting 100,000 customers in the first year is not difficult.

Again, these sayings are made on the experience of other people. Of course, if you really have nowhere to put the rubber, and it costs decent money, then you definitely don’t want to throw it away.

So you have to pay for various luggage storage like ours.

How to organize a storage warehouse for automotive rubber

And so we have already approached the very organization of our business. What is worth paying attention to and what stones are buried in business organization?

Let's figure it out. To get started, of course, you will need a place to organize a warehouse.

The choice of premises will be the most important step and it must be treated with special zeal. In terms of area, or rather the size of the area, I can advise you to choose a small but promising one for starters.

At first, it will be difficult for you to provide huge areas and it is better to find small premises for a confident start, but you must also take into account the fact that if your business goes uphill, you will need to expand these same areas.

Therefore, it is worth choosing a place that will allow you not only to successfully start, but also to expand your business in the future.

I also want to note the fact that the place of the warehouse should be accessible to customers and not be located 300 km from the city. After all, you are not :). You understand this is very inconvenient.

However, there are different situations.

And if it is not possible to locate the warehouse closer, then I advise you to organize an independent export of rubber from its owners.

It will even be very convenient and people will definitely like it. They do not have to go to you, they can dial the number and your employee or you yourself will come and pick up everything.

The next question that arises when organizing a temporary storage warehouse is how not to lose rubber and know which owner it belongs to. Everything is simple here.

When placing rubber in a warehouse, you must stick a statement to it with adhesive tape, which will contain the owner's phone number and other necessary notes.

To quickly find the desired kit, it will not be superfluous to place the rubber alphabetically. You can take the names of the owners as a basis and place them in order.

It will also be very correct to maintain an electronic sheet, which will indicate everything that will help you find the necessary set of rubber in a matter of seconds.

Now to the account of your warehouse employees. Everything is very clear here. A storage warehouse does not inherently require a large number of people. At first, you can do everything yourself, and hire people already in the course of doing business.

It will also be important to conduct competent advertising. You will need to convey to future customers the understanding that in case of loss or damage to the kits, you will be fully responsible for them.

By the way, I forgot to say about the damage that upon receipt of the rubber in the statement, I advise you to describe all the chips and cracks with the owner, so that he assures that the damage to his offspring was not suffered in the warehouse - this is very important because people are different.

What should be considered when organizing this case

Storing goods in a warehouse is essentially a very profitable business, but it is also not without its drawbacks.

Chief among them is the location of the warehouse. This business should not be opened in small towns.

After all, our country is so vast and wide that in small towns there will be a huge number of garages and people simply will not need to buy a place in our warehouse, so everything is simple.

Therefore, this case is popular in large cities such as Moscow or Nizhny Novgorod. Please keep this note in mind.

Sample business plan for a tire warehouse

Business plan for temporary storage of winter tires:

Purpose: the preservation of winter tires for the required period;
Budget: 300,000 rubles;

Risks: 50,000 rubles.

I'll tell you right away this is all about, so I think you'll figure it out. If so, I'll be happy to answer questions.

With each seasonal tire change, car owners face the question of where to store the rubber. Well, if you have your own garage, but what about those who live in apartments and no longer have any premises where rubber can be stored? It was this occasion that led to the opening of a separate line of business - the so-called "hotels" for seasonal storage of tires. Wheels are stored in heated and well-ventilated rooms, where direct sunlight does not fall. The rubber is properly monitored - carefully dried and packaged. Such warehouses are a modern high-tech service, where everything is in its clearly marked places…

Rubber storage service is one of the types of business

The rubber storage service is exclusively urban and not of Russian origin at all. In Europe, a similar business has existed for decades, which is called the "Tire Hotel" - a hotel for storing tires.

It is better to open your own seasonal tire storage business with a working tire fitting - in fact, the client base has already been formed. This, however, is what most tire shops do, which have free space for this purpose.

Step by Step Plan to Start a Tire Storage Service

If the business opens what is called “from scratch”, then significant investments in advertising will be required. At a minimum, you need to bypass all the nearby tire services and offer them cooperation. Another mandatory marketing tool is your website on the Internet. In large cities and metropolitan areas, people have long learned to find services using the Internet. Therefore, without a website, you can miss the lion's share of customers.

Such a service can be offered not only if the client does not have his own place to store rubber. According to experts, proper care is important for rubber, and it must be stored at a certain temperature and humidity. Tires should never be stored upright - they should be hung or placed in a horizontal position, ideally on wooden pallets. Tires that are not mounted in a rim must be stored upright and should be rotated every four weeks to avoid pressure in one place only. They should not be hung and stacked one on top of the other. Deformations, microcracks, loss of strength and elasticity - all these are the consequences of improper storage of tires.

Of course, few car owners follow these rules - often the rubber is thrown somewhere in a dusty corner of the garage and lies there until the next season. Therefore, if you correctly explain to the car owner the benefits of this service, even those who already have a place to store tires can use it. Here is just some confirmation of the increasingly popular tire storage service:

This is an image from the "coupon", which shows that more than 500 people used the service of the Shinohran company.

Premises selection

To organize a business, you need a fairly spacious room. It is logical that the larger the area of \u200b\u200bthe room, the more rubber can be accommodated, and therefore earn more.

The calculation is something like this: a set of tires (4 wheels) takes about 1m2 (depending on the storage method), respectively, 100 sets - 100m2. At the same time, it is not necessary to rent a large warehouse. This amount of rubber can fit in a much smaller area, due to the installation of two or three storey rack systems.

What equipment to choose for tire storage

The arrangement of a warehouse can take from 100 thousand rubles or more, depending on the condition and size of the premises. What can the money be spent on? In order to store rubber, you will need to purchase racks, racks or pallets.

To maintain the desired temperature, it is necessary to install an air conditioning and ventilation system. Do not forget about the condition of the walls and ceiling, the repair of which can also take a certain amount (elementary whitewashing). To create the same site for advertising services, you need at least 30,000 rubles.

financial calculation

Now about income. The cost of seasonal storage of one set of tires (4 wheels) averages from 1,500 to 3,000 rubles, depending on the diameter of the wheels. Or monthly storage of rubber may be offered, for example, 100 rubles / month per wheel. When the rubber is deposited, the car owner is issued a receipt. The return of wheels is carried out only on this paper.

From a room with an area of 500m2 for six months you can get: 500 sets x 2000 rubles per set = 1,000,000 rubles or 166,000 per month. From the amount received, you will have to subtract:

Warehouse rental - 20,000 per month
Tax (UTII or USN) - 10,000 per month
Salary and insurance contributions (1 employee) - 20,000 per month
Consumables (detergents, processing agents, etc.) - 5,000 per month
Advertising - 15,000 per month
Other expenses - 10,000 per month
Total monthly expenses - 80,000 per month.

How much can you earn from a tire storage service

From here, the approximate monthly profit will be: 166,000 - 80,000 = 86,000 rubles. This, of course, subject to the presence of a client base of 500 people (which still needs to be able to develop).

It is extremely difficult to determine the profitability of this business - a lot depends on the abilities of the business organizer. But there are facts that indicate whether or not you should open a seasonal tire storage business. For example, such a “banal” indicator as the number of city residents and their standard of living. Small and medium-sized cities of the Russian hinterland with a population of up to 200 thousand inhabitants are immediately excluded. After all, not every citizen can afford to allocate 2000-3000 rubles for six months, for "some kind of storage of rubber."

Many businessmen know firsthand that today it is possible to establish a profitable business with symbolic investments. Today we will consider the features of the implementation of one of these projects. It involves seasonal storage of tires. The idea will be on forces and beginners.

A few words about the legalization of this type of business:

If it serves as an additional source of funds, then it will be possible to bypass such a moment as registration.
If the plan is to open a car service, service station, tire fitting point, on the basis of which car owners will be able to deposit tires, then registration will be required. Available OPF: IP, LLC.
There is something to think about: the target audience has great confidence in registered entrepreneurs. Therefore, if you have the opportunity to register, do not miss it.

room

The base for a seasonal tire warehouse can be a garage, however, its area will not be enough with the expansion of the client base. In this case, the solution would be to rent a warehouse. An alternative is to purchase several garages located in one place. Such a management decision will become appropriate, with a 100% guarantor of a large demand for the service. You can go the other way - contact the owners of service stations to talk about the possibility of renting unused premises. There is a high probability of a positive answer, since, considered by us, will attract potential customers of service station owners and vice versa.

You can open a point in part of the settlement. The main thing is that the room allows you to maintain optimal microclimate parameters.

room

The object will have to be equipped with special 2-3-storey racks for tires. A good solution would be to allocate a separate cell to each regular client. Before renting a space, it is important to make sure that the roof does not leak. At the slightest leak, it should be excluded. As for the floor, the best option would be a wooden floor. Alternative - poured on the basis of sawdust.

No security whatsoever

This issue should be considered in a separate paragraph. In order to minimize encroachment on the tires of your customers, the facility must be equipped with reliable doors. Don't be stingy, buy set an alarm. One of the advantages of implementing the idea on the basis of a garage, which is located in a garage cooperative, is the initial presence of security.

Note to the reader: the network of tire hypermarkets "Koleso" offers alloy wheels REPLICA (Replica) www.koleso-russia.ru/catalog/wheels/replica/ - this is the choice for those who want the wheel to be ideal for their car. All wheels (manufactured in China, Taiwan and Italy) are made for specific car brands, taking into account their technical characteristics and design.

Tire theft can result in lawsuits, you will have to pay damages, pay for the lawsuit. All this once again confirms the usefulness of the security system. Another argument in favor of signaling is that stolen tires will cause an irretrievable loss of actual customers and a lack of trust from potential customers. Experienced businessmen recommend to insure accepted tires.

Additional services

Having opened a warehouse for tires, you can think about providing tire fitting services. The set of services can also be supplemented:

- washing wheels;

— blackening rubber;

- pumping up the wheels;

- repair of tires, tubes ...

Financial side of the project

The cost of the main service will depend only on your decision. Additional services are another matter - you need to focus on the pricing policy of competitors, but not to the detriment of your own. In any case, it is necessary to strive for the optimal cost / cost / income ratio. The main thing is that it is attractive to the target audience and to you.

Tip: when determining the cost of a service, consider the radius, quantity, and shelf life.

For a set of tires, one square will be sufficient. The area of a standard garage is 36 squares. At least 5 squares should be left for the passage. It will be useful to have a reserve area - 1 square. The remaining square meters will be enough to accommodate 29 sets. An error is not ruled out, so we will reduce the number of sets to 28 pcs.

For a month, completely “clogged”, the garage will bring about 11.2 thousand rubles. In the presence of a two-, 3-tier rack, the income will be 2 and 3 times more, respectively.

Customer acquisition

In small undertakings of this format, the first clients are represented by relatives and acquaintances. If they are satisfied, then information about your service will quickly spread throughout the village. Word of mouth will work. True, it will work in any case, even with the first customers who were dissatisfied.

It's important to know that a consistent, solid customer base eliminates the need for ongoing advertising fees. After the start, if the initiative is not registered, you should not resort to the media. Why once again attract the attention of "tax officials". You can limit yourself to simple business cards, ads. If your "brainchild" is registered, it will be justified through local print media, TV channels, radio stations. Don't neglect:

internet,
social networks,
thematic forums,
leaflets,
brochures,
advertising on a car or in public transport.

If you have a good friend who owns a service station, a tire fitting point, then most likely he will not refuse to help you in terms of disseminating information about your services.

Conclusion

As you can see, the idea deserves attention. To put it into practice requires funds, a minimum of time. At the same time, there is no need for expensive, bulky units, any specific knowledge and skills. All you need to store tires is a garage and a responsible approach to business.

Good luck in your endeavors!
