More cars mean more demand for oils and consumables. MSG Equipment shares tips on documents, premises and fittings for a motor oil shop.
MSG Equipment notes that growing car numbers drive demand for consumables such as motor oil, making an oil shop within a car service station a promising niche – provided competitors and your own resources are assessed first.
The documents listed include business registration, a purchase or lease agreement for the premises, permits for selling flammable substances, health and fire safety approvals, and quality certificates for the products sold.
The article suggests a sales area of at least around 15 m², an eye-catching sign, shelving and display cases, and – where possible – equipment for selling oil on draught as an added advantage.
