Each inhabitant of our country eats about 4 kilograms of chocolate per year. The most interesting is that whatever the prices for chocolate products are not falling, sales are never falling, so this is a very lucrative business with a unique taste and aroma.

You can dream about your own chocolate shop for a long time, introducing it in the style of Willy Wonka, this is the one who invited Charlie to his own chocolate factory. Or, perhaps, to build your own gingerbread house, and wait for their Hansel and Grett? Also no? And the truth is, the story of the owner of that chocolate shop has not ended much for her.
And young racketeers did not even suffer punishment for the destruction of private chocolate property. However, these characters have nothing to do with reality. Let's return to chocolate and the modern reality of doing business.
To open a chocolate shop, you should first:
- Register an IP or a legal entity.
- To have an initial capital.

- Find suppliers of quality goods.
- Take care of staff.
- Purchase equipment.
