Many who are contemplating a dollar store startup assume just being a creative and lucky person will automatically lead to lower investment requirements for their startup efforts. In reality nothing could be further from the truth. Given the maturing market and seasoned, successful competition, those thinking about starting a dollar store must treat this new venture as a business proposition. In this article I cover some of the critical actions to consider if you are planning on starting a dollar store. These actions should be considered well before actually making the decision to move forward with starting a dollar store business. • Run and re-run the numbers Do your research and investigation to make sure you understand exactly the amount of capital you will need to have in-hand for the startup and continued operation of your business. Question each number, do a little more investigation, and then recheck everything one more time until you are convinced you have the right numbers sitting before you. • Seek expert advise Be sure to ask your accountant to take a look at the final numbers you develop. Do this before moving forward. A thorough examination of the numbers by this one expert can be invaluable. • Assemble adequate funding Once you have the numbers assembled the challenge of locating the right amount of funding starts. Stay focused on obtaining all the funding listed in your documented work. Do not allow yourself to slip and to make the mistake of assuming some of the numbers might be just a bit too high or you will somehow make profits earlier than planned. Have the funding in-hand before moving forward. • Do not compromise on location Finding the perfect location for your business is an absolute must. Invest the time and energy to check all possibilities and to find the exact location you seek. As you proceed through the process of finding your perfect location remember that the success of your business very much depends on the final location you identify. If you are thinking about starting a dollar store take the time to carefully examine the actual requirements of this type of business. Once you actually begin taking the dollar store startup actions to prepare for the opening of your store, you will have time and money committed. Even stopping at that point will cost you. Consider the upfront data collection and analysis to be an investment in the ultimate success of your dollar store startup. Are you interested in starting a dollar store?
