Outbound trade is the organization of the sale of various food products from a certain car (truckshop), which is often carried out in the surrounding towns and villages. This business is quite often organized by people who live not only in large and small cities, but also in rural areas, as it is quite the best option for running their own business.

Is this relevant?

Despite how much the process of population growth in cities increases, villages also contain a sufficiently large number of inhabitants, so outbound trade will not lose its relevance for a long time (if it ever happens at all). A fairly large number of modern settlements, in principle, do not have any stationary food stores, not to mention how difficult it is in some places to find industrial goods. For residents of such villages, outbound trade is the only way to purchase some food or other goods, and entrepreneurs, accordingly, get a huge sales market.

Assortment

In the vast majority of cases, outbound trade involves the use of only fifteen to twenty product items. The main assortment consists of the following items:

• bread;
• meat;
• milk;
• sausage;
• stew;
• candy;
• vegetables;
• fruit;
• pasta;
• butter;
• s alt;
• sugar;
• spices.

It is worth noting that this is only a list of the most popular and widespread products with which food products are sold on the road. Documents are often issued for the sale of matches, cigarettes and a variety of household goods, and, for example, closer to autumn, the demand for lids, seamers and all kinds of glass jars increases significantly.

In some places, standard bottled drinking water is in good demand, which is sold in five-liter or even one and a half-liter plastic bottles. Thus, if you visit the same settlements for a long time, you will begin to understand the needs of the inhabitants and understand what is best for outreach food sales. Documents often allow you to trade not only products. Some, for example, prefer to sell batteries, spare parts for appliances and a host of other goods on order.

Marketplace

In the vast majority of cases, as the main point of sale in the conduct of such a businessremote and nearby settlements are considered, in which there is a shortage in certain food stores. Everything is simple here - first you visit the settlements to determine the missing goods (you can even conduct a survey), and then you start to import them.

Ensuring competition

However, you need to understand that even if there are grocery stores, the organization of outbound sales does not lose its relevance and does not cease to be profitable. In stores there is a certain range, having studied which, you can make your own, which will be different. At the same time, it is necessary to correctly assess the advantages that distinguish exit trade. The rules of competitive business allow you to sell fresher products, deliver new products, or lower prices on certain products.

Many underestimate the possibility of selling some promotional products on certain days, although this significantly increases the flow of customers, and at the same time provides your business with absolutely free advertising. Here it is quite important to decide whether the outbound food trade will be carried out in a particular settlement or in several.

Helpful tips

Sufficiently important factor in retailing products this way is to ensure stability. Residents of each locality should be aware that on certain days and at a specific time your car is unambiguouslywill be here, and you can sell them the products they need. If you receive an outbound trade permit, but go for sale at different times, you may not achieve the effect you should expect.

Quite promising is to go to various horticultural associations, cottage villages or dacha cooperatives. There is a fairly large crowd of people, and many prefer to stay overnight, while having certain problems with the supply of provisions.

Equipment

In the vast majority of cases, outbound trade in products is carried out on specialized vehicles, which can be, for example, vehicles based on GAZelles. However, some people get along well with cars equipped with an appropriate trailer.

At the same time, you need to correctly understand that if you organize an outbound trade, then the trailer will need to be equipped accordingly so that the seller can easily be in it, and at the same time the necessary products are stored. Also, quite often it is customary to use a specialized tonar, which is a mobile trading pavilion, for traveling trade.

The availability of refrigeration equipment is one of the most important conditions under which a truly profitable outbound trade is conducted. What documents are needed to register such a business is not even such an important question as what specific equipment you need to purchase in order to sell really competitive products of a goodquality. In particular, one of the most frequent problems is finding power supply at the place of direct sale of goods.

If, for example, you are going to sell only eggs or frozen fish, then in this case you can use a standard GAZelle, selling directly from the body. It remains to complete the necessary documents for outbound sales and start a business, but at the same time, you must understand that the implementation time is very limited, since food is a product that can deteriorate in a fairly short time.

Legal niceties

Before you start trading from a traveling shop, it is best to familiarize yourself with all regulatory documents, namely:

• Federal Law No. 381-F3.
• Government Decree No. 55 of January 19, 1998.
• GOST R 51303-2013.
• GOST R 51773-2009.
• Resolution No. 23 of the Chief Sanitary State Doctor of September 7, 2001.

Trade from a car shop is legally a delivery trade, while the shop itself is considered as a mobile non-stationary trading facility.

What devices are included here?

Delivery trade in this case is retail trade, which is carried out outside any fixed retail network using specialized or specially equipped vehicles for trading, as well as all kinds of mobile equipment usedonly with vehicles. It is customary to refer to this type of trade as conducting sales using a car, a car shop, a car shop, a caravan, a tonar, or some kind of mobile vending machine. All these things are included in the list of mobile delivery vehicles.

Legal Definition

In accordance with applicable law, a non-stationary retail facility is any equipment that is a temporary structure or structure, while not having a strong connection with any land plot, regardless of whether there is or is not a connection there to any utility networks. If we talk about what applies to non-stationary mobile objects, then here we are talking about car shops, trays, mobile shops, vans, carts, tankers and other similar equipment.

It is also worth noting the fact that the current articles of federal legislation determine the specific features and subtleties of the placement of such objects. Thus, their installation in buildings, structures, on land plots or structures that are in municipal or state ownership can only be carried out in full compliance with a specific layout, and also taking into account the need to ensure the most sustainable development of the territory. The very same scheme for their placement should be developed and approved by local governments.

So you needagree in advance on the possibility of trading with local authorities. Of course, there are villages that are too far from major cities where you can trade without prior permission, but technically you will still violate the requirements of the current legislation.

Possible problems

In large settlements, in the vast majority of cases, various supermarket owners, using administrative resources, try to actively oppose various owners of mobile tents, as this is quite harmful to their direct business, while in small settlements it is almost impossible to meet such a serious resistance.

You also need to correctly understand that a car shop should not create obstacles for road users, endanger consumers who are pedestrians in terms of traffic rules, because if a shop is located on the side of the road, this can lead to some problems.

Documents

It is quite natural that you should have all the necessary documentation for the products you sell, namely a certificate of conformity or a specialized declaration. Such documentation is mandatory issued either by the manufacturer or directly by the seller of this product, if we are talking, of course, about the need for mandatory declaration or certification of products.

There is a fairly large list of securities,which regulate the availability of certain documents for products, while changes are regularly made to the regulatory framework. If you wish, you can always get appropriate advice from the employees of Rospotrebnadzor, and in the overwhelming majority you can get similar help from wholesale suppliers of products who sell you goods for sale.

What do you need?

For all products, it is mandatory to obtain confirmation that it meets certain requirements of established technical regulations, as well as all sets of rules, provisions of standards or the terms of contracts. All this is carried out in the form of an appropriate declaration of conformity or a mandatory certification procedure.

Food industry products are a category of goods, the confirmation of conformity for which requires a declaration. At the same time, it is worth noting the fact that the declaration has absolutely the same legal force as the certificate of conformity, and if the need for mandatory certification in relation to certain products is canceled or mandatory declaration is introduced, then the declaration is used as documentary evidence of compliance with the requirements.

Return

Many do not know that it is possible and even necessary to bargain with producers over the remains of unsold products, in particular, this applies to meat processing plants. Everyone understands perfectly well that to fully realize the purchasedproduction is extremely difficult, and in any case, a certain part of the products will remain. That is why many merchants prefer to return the remains of unsold goods, exchanging them for fresh products and receiving a certain part of the funds back.

Here everything is done by agreement, and the more you buy and sell goods, the easier it will be for you to agree on getting good conditions. It is likely that a sales representative of a large company will not decide to talk with small wholesale buyers, but it is worth a try in any case.
