If you open a logistics distribution station, what is the operation process and what should you pay attention to?

How to set up a distribution station? First, we need to choose a better business website. The choice of business outlets is directly related to whether the distribution station can develop rapidly in the future. Generally speaking, the business premises of distribution stations should be located in "traffic arteries" or "commodity distribution centers". "Traffic artery" mainly refers to the road that trucks from other places must pass through. There are generally regulations restricting the passage of trucks on urban roads, so it is of great significance to choose the location of distribution station as the only way for large trucks to drive from other places and attract foreign vehicles to carry out distribution business. If a distribution station does not have a stable foreign vehicle source as a supplement, it is difficult to stand on its own vehicle source in the market competition. Moreover, the transportation cost of foreign vehicles (return vehicles) is much lower than that of their own or local vehicles. "Commodity distribution center" generally refers to a larger commodity wholesale market. As a commodity distribution center, there are often foreign vehicles to deliver goods in the market, which will be a very stable source of return vehicles. In addition to the characteristics of "traffic artery" or "commodity distribution center", the site selection should also have good parking conditions. Meet the above conditions, your business address will be selected. The next step is to apply for a business license at the Administration for Industry and Commerce. If you just want to run an individual distribution station, and the amount of funds is not large (your own funds need 3-5 thousand yuan), you can go directly to the industrial and commercial office under the jurisdiction of the selected business location. You must write a business application before you go. The application shall specify the name, place of business, form of investment, amount of funds, business scope, etc. The distribution station should be opened in detail, and then take your ID card and copy directly to the industrial and commercial office. Ask for several forms for the first time, including a "name pre-approval" form, and the industrial and commercial office will approve the name you choose to see if the name you choose violates the relevant state regulations or is already in use. If there is no accident, the industrial and commercial office will inform you to formally apply for a license within two to three days. The whole process takes about 7 days and costs about 300 yuan to 400 yuan. In some places, practitioners are required to obtain the qualification as brokers, and only 500 yuan can obtain the qualification as brokers. Specifically, you must go to the tax authorities for tax registration within 30 days after completing the business license, so as not to bring unnecessary trouble to yourself. The license is ready, and it will be opened soon. The hardest part is actually that at the beginning, if you have never set foot in the logistics industry, you may face many difficulties. No car source, no supply, and so on. Don't worry, your business location is not located on the main road! As long as you put up a big sign, it lists the lines you operate, either Guangzhou special line, Hunan special line or Henan special line. I believe Guangzhou drivers and Guangzhou shippers, Hunan drivers and Hunan shippers will come to you slowly; If you are in a wholesale market, you must first know where the products in this market come from, and set up a special line where there are the most trailers. In this way, you have a stable source of return cars. All that remains is to contact the source. If you contact the source, you can go to Yi Logistics Network (www.ea56.com/) to have a look. There are many shippers looking for goods on it. There are goods and vehicles all over the country, and the amount of information is quite large. This website is fast to open, powerful and timely. You can also go and have a look! You can also check for yourself, there must be something suitable for you! Generally speaking, there are three business models of distribution stations: one is special car operation, the other is specialized goods operation, and the other is both car and goods operation. These three modes of operation have their own advantages and disadvantages. Specializing in the vehicle source business, mainly absorbing the return vehicle source, but also mastering the local vehicle source to supplement. It is characterized by low investment and basically no risk, but the profit earned is not rich enough; Specializing in commodity business makes rich profits, but if there is a lot of money to advance, there may be investment risks, may be cheated, and may also lead to their own business risks because of the business risks of commodity manufacturers; The third way can complement each other, but it requires operators to have mature experience to avoid risks and make profits to the greatest extent.
