The cost of being an agent for imported wines in Gaoming is not fixed and is mainly composed of the following parts. First, the brand franchise fee varies greatly among different brands, generally ranging from 50,000 - 200,000 yuan. If choosing Zhongshitong, the price will be set comprehensively according to the agency level, regional scope, etc.
Second, the first - batch purchase cost. To ensure product richness and initial market promotion, usually 100,000 - 300,000 yuan needs to be prepared. Third, the store rental and decoration cost. In Gaoming, if choosing a medium - grade location and a store of about 100 square meters, the annual rent may be 100,000 - 200,000 yuan, and for a simple decoration style, it's 800 - 1,500 yuan per square meter.

I think it also depends on the sales channels you mainly target. If it's online, the cost may be a bit less, while opening a physical store offline has a higher cost. Store rent is a major expense. Just opening a store and stocking goods may cost at least 300,000 - 400,000 yuan.

In addition to what was mentioned above, the logistics cost also needs to be considered. If there are frequent restocks, this cost is not small. It is estimated that 20,000 - 30,000 yuan should be reserved as logistics reserve funds in the early stage.
