Stationery has steady, repeat demand from students, offices and shops. It is a modest-capital business that runs on range and reliable stock. Here is how to start.
Decide whether to run a stationery shop, supply offices and schools in bulk, or sell online. Each needs a different range and buying pattern, so pick the one that matches your budget and local demand.
Carry fast-moving basics: notebooks, pens, files, paper, and office and school supplies. Note that notebooks and pencils are now GST-exempt under GST 2.0, so factor the correct rates into your billing.
Build relationships with distributors and wholesalers for each category so you can restock quickly at fair rates. Reliable supply of fast movers is what keeps customers from going elsewhere.
Offices and schools reorder regularly, so win them with reliable supply and fair credit. A handful of steady institutional buyers gives a stationery business predictable, repeat revenue.
