Medical equipment Online-Store – a business from scratch

You are determined and have sufficient funds, financial and resources to open your own business. First of all it needs to be registered. If you intend to open a small store where you will offer the public medical instruments and equipment that do not require specialized knowledge to use, and in small amounts, then you can formalize the business as an individual entrepreneur.

This form is not suitable if you want to sell your products not only to individuals, but also to cooperate with medical centers and other partners. Then it is better to register as an LLC.

Assortment

The choice of goods is very wide. You can open a multidisciplinary store that sells goods for all kinds of medical care. Or you can find its narrow specialization and deal only with it:

• Special equipment and devices for the disabled or people with injuries undergoing rehabilitation: wheelchairs and chairs, crutches, canes, etc.
• Orthopedic products: shoes, insoles, mattresses and pillows, bandages, corsets.
• Goods for expectant mothers and newborns: bottles, sterilizers, baby thermometers, breast pumps, underwear for pregnant women.
• Overalls: gowns, suits for employees of medical institutions.
• Medical instruments and equipment used in everyday life: thermometers, warmers, syringes, tonometers, hearing aids, glucose meters, etc.
• Specialized equipment for intensive care units, gynecological exam rooms, dentists, etc.

Whichever direction you choose, it’s easy to find the right suppliers. Today, the market for medical supplies is very widely represented by both domestic and foreign manufacturers.

Do not forget that to develop your business, it is very important to invest in advertising.

The store will need a website. Here you can post information about current promotions, publish useful articles on medical topics, instructions for the use of equipment. The site will also perform the functions of an online store.
