Office Workers Turn Into SOHO &Nbsp, And How Many Risks Do They Have?
Xiao Zhou studied English at university.
graduation
After entering the foreign trade company for two or three years, Xiao Zhou was tired of this nine to five working life, so he quit his job and tried to start his own business.
During the working period, the main business of Xiao Zhou is the sale of electronic components, so after deciding to start her own business, she also started from this aspect.
Start with familiar business
"There are two other reasons for choosing electronics components," Xiao Zhou told reporters. On the one hand, there is a large wholesale market for electronic components in Shenzhen, where almost all types of products can be found. On the other hand, the volume of electronic components is very small and easy to pport.
At the beginning of entrepreneurship, Xiao Zhou registered a company in Hongkong and opened a bank account.
Xiao Zhou told reporters that the registration of Companies in Hongkong is relatively easy, initially commissioned by the intermediary, the cost of about five thousand yuan.
Self processing costs will be lower.
Finding customers is very critical. "Our product has special industry websites."
Xiao Zhou was registered on one of its famous websites. The cost at that time was 3000 US dollars, equivalent to about 21000 yuan.
After registration, you will publish your products on the Internet. Once a customer needs to find relevant products, the website will show how many sellers' products meet the requirements of buyers. This time, buyers will take the initiative to contact themselves.
What conditions do you need to make SOHO family for foreign trade?
Xiao Zhou told reporters that a business like her is the first thing to do.
language
Conditions, because of the need to deal with foreign businessmen, at least proficient in English listening, speaking, reading and writing.
In addition, if you have the following resources, you can consider making SOHO..
Supply advantages
If relatives and friends have factories to produce certain products, they can get goods at a lower price than others. This can take account of professional websites to find customers. At the beginning, they may encounter difficulties in two aspects of customs declaration and pportation, but these can be found by customs declarations and logistics companies.
Customer resources are required.
Having better customer resources is especially suitable for those who have lived abroad.
China
It is the "world factory". There are a large number of wholesale markets in Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Many foreigners come here to scare cheap Chinese goods. Therefore, friends who have lived abroad can consider helping foreign friends find goods in China.
Experience:
Prepare 50 thousand yuan working capital
Xiao Zhou's first customer came from Israel. Xiao Zhou chatted with him on the Internet for more than a month before the customer gave her an order. The total amount of the order was only more than 100 dollars.
Xiao Zhou told reporters that it was hard to find the first customer in one or two months.
Business like Xiao Zhou needs lower cost. In addition to the thousands of registered companies, it is the registration fee of 3000 US dollars in the industry website. This cost varies widely in different industries.
If you want the publicity to be better and do some advertising, the cost will be higher and the key is to look at your needs.
In addition, it is liquidity, which depends on the size of orders received. Sometimes orders are only a few hundred dollars. The cost of purchase may only be a few thousand yuan. If the order is larger, the cost will be more, but the initial 50 thousand yuan will be enough.
business risk
Risk 1: product quality problems
"Although there was no need to invest a lot of money in rent or office, decoration or equipment, there were two main risks."
Xiao Zhou told reporters.
Suppliers and customers may have risks in two ways. Suppliers mainly have problems in product quality.
If the product quality is bad, the customer returns, but the supplier does not agree, finally can only undertake the loss by oneself.
Xiao Zhou had met two times in such a way that she lost a lot of money.
Risk two: delivery is not available.
At present, the electronic components industry is generally cash on delivery. If customers do not receive payment after receiving the goods, they will not earn money or lose money.
There is a way to solve this problem. The industry website will provide intermediary services, asking customers to first hit the money on the account of the website, and the customer will pfer the money to himself after receiving the goods. However, there is a certain cost to do so, which is to be borne by the customer.
"Later, if I did more than a few hundred dollars, I would not choose intermediary services, only when the amount was larger." Xiao Zhou said.
