Self-employed as a dressmaker - How to open your own tailor shop
You enjoy tailoring, are creative and like working with different fabrics. You may have even completed a tailoring apprenticeship or already have a master's degree as a custom tailor under your belt. A next big goal for you: You open your own tailor shop. In the following article, you will learn which requirements you need to fulfill and which steps you need to take in order to successfully launch your tailoring business.
One of the most important steps in preparation for opening a tailor shop is the analysis of the regional market situation. Here you determine how large your potential customer base is and, accordingly, the need for opening a new tailor shop. In addition, you analyze your competitors to determine whether it makes sense to open a tailor shop in your desired area. Have you chosen a place and a street where there is already another tailor? If so, you may want to look elsewhere for suitable space. To find out your competitors, you can study yellow pages or search the Internet.
If you want to start your own tailoring business, you need to prepare a business plan. In it, you explain exactly how you envision your own tailor shop and ideally score points with an original unique selling proposition - for example, an unusual pattern or rare fabrics. The business plan is important for convincing potential investors and lenders of your business idea. On the other hand, it serves as an orientation aid, for example, to be able to check whether you are achieving the goals you have set yourself or whether there is still room for improvement.
