Starting a cycle shop does not need a large budget, but it needs a few sound decisions early. Here is a simple order to follow.
1. Pick the location
Look for visibility and footfall: near schools, colleges, markets or a busy residential road. Check rent against what you realistically expect to sell.
2. Sort out registrations
Requirements differ by state and city. Check current rules with your local authority and an accountant, including shop registration and GST.
3. Choose a supplier you can rely on
A direct manufacturer relationship means better reorder speed and clearer terms. Ask for a catalog, dealer price list, warranty terms and how dispatch works.
4. Plan your first stock
Begin with a balanced range of kids, geared and everyday models, plus basic accessories. Keep sizes of fast movers deep. Reorder what sells.
5. Set up a small service corner
Puncture repair, chain and brake service bring customers back and add income in slow months.
6. Tell people you exist
Add your shop to Google Maps, put up clear signage and use WhatsApp to answer enquiries.
