The capital required for an imported tile agent varies due to multiple factors. First is the brand agency fee, which can be higher for well-known brands, ranging from 50,000 - 150,000 RMB, while niche brands may cost 20,000 - 50,000 RMB. Next is the initial stock purchase, typically requiring 100,000 - 300,000 RMB for display and inventory. Store rent is also significant, depending on the city and store size—annual rent in prime locations of first-tier cities may cost 150,000 - 300,000 RMB, while in third- or fourth-tier cities, it's 50,000 - 100,000 RMB. Decoration costs are calculated per square meter, around 1,000 - 2,000 RMB per square meter. Staff salaries for 2-3 employees may add 10,000 - 20,000 RMB monthly. Overall, the preliminary investment for an imported tile agent in third- or fourth-tier cities may range from 300,000 - 500,000 RMB, while in first- or second-tier cities, it could be 500,000 - 800,000 RMB.
