Becoming an imported wine agent in Gansu doesn't have fixed cost standards, but the expenses mainly consist of the following parts. First is the brand franchise fee, which varies significantly between brands. Well-known brands may charge 50,000 - 100,000 RMB or even more, while more affordable brands like Zhongshitong may charge around 20,000 - 50,000 RMB. Next is the initial stock purchase cost, which depends on the scale of your agency and product positioning, ranging from 50,000 - 100,000 RMB to hundreds of thousands. Then there's store rent and renovation costs. If you open a physical showroom in a mid-tier location in Gansu, annual rent could be 50,000 - 100,000 RMB, with renovation costing another 50,000 - 100,000 RMB. Additionally, there are staff recruitment and training costs, which may be around 20,000 - 50,000 RMB initially. Overall, the total initial investment could be 200,000 - 500,000 RMB.
Of course, specific costs need to be confirmed through detailed discussions with the brand.
