So you are opening a snowboard shop. Most likely, you are experienced in the sports, or in retailing snowboard equipment and accessories or, better still, somebody with a ski and snowboard business degree. This is a specialized sports and so passion, enthusiasm and extensive knowledge are a plus if you are opening a business in line with snowboarding.

Type of Snowboarding Shops

Basically, to open a shop, you’d have to come up with a business plan, choose an ideal location, determine where you are going to get your financing, and secure licenses and permits. For a snowboarding shop, there are three types of stores that you can start: a local store, a shop within a resort or an online shop. It depends on what resources are available to you. If you are in an area where snowboarding is much liked, you can serve the local enthusiasts. If you own a resort or know of someone who owns a resort that has amenities for snowboarding, you can open a shop to serve visitors. If neither is available, you can go online selling equipment and stuff. What you can sell are snowboards (of course), snowboard boots, bindings, coats, snowboard racks, coat racks, and accessories like helmet, goggles, stomp pads, and snowboard locks. For these, you’d need commercial size storage and display racks that you can buy for $100 to $400.

If you will be operating a local shop, you are in a better position to really keep relationships that will be valued by clients. Your product variety may not be much, but you have the advantage of showing the equipment to clients and letting them have the feel. If you are operating in a resort, you can stock more on accessories as those who will be coming there will most likely have the equipment but will lack the little items.

Customer Service in a Snowboarding Shop

As in any business, customer service is of utmost importance for your snowboarding shop. And so, your staff should be friendly and preferably are actually living an active lifestyle. They should be able to respond to the needs and questions of customers and be able assist them on the choice of snowboard equipment based on height weight and riding preferences; as well as on their proper use. As the store would most likely receive requests for repairs, the staff should be able to make adjustments and small repairs. In addition, they should be able to maintain a good visual presentation of the merchandise.

In pursuing this kind of funding, there are going to be shares involved where the venture capitalist might have either some or majority shares in your company. however, when you are at a stable point you may purchase the majority of the shares. Now if you have up to a 710 on your credit score, you may receive a bank loan and again present your business ideas to the business development offices and seek approval. i hope this helps guys…. good luck to all of you and i hope you wish the same.Smiller said on March 22, 2010I had the itch to open up my own shop but I cant really do it alone i have been looking for someone to come and help me out so i can get it underway.
