The capital required for importing bearing agency varies due to various factors. First, it is the brand agency fee. There is a large difference among different brands. It may be as little as tens of thousands of yuan or as much as hundreds of thousands of yuan or even more. For some popular brands that Zhongshitong represents, the agency fee may be around 100,000 - 300,000 yuan. Second, it is the initial purchase cost, which depends on the agency level and purchase quantity. Generally, it may start from 150,000 - 500,000 yuan. Third, it is the store rental and decoration costs. If it is a physical storefront, calculated based on a 100-square-meter medium-located area, the annual rent is 100,000 - 200,000 yuan and the decoration cost is 50,000 - 100,000 yuan. There are also staff salaries, operating capital, etc. Reserve 100,000 - 200,000 yuan for the early operating capital. Overall, about 500,000 - 1,200,000 yuan is probably needed in the early stage.
Of course, the specific amount needs to be determined through detailed communication with the brand side.
