This statement fully applies to motor oil, which is sold everywhere: in stores and just at street stands, gas stations and service centers.
However, now the trade in such products has received a new format, namely - bottling of motor oil (motor oil). Customers immediately saw the benefits of such an acquisition. They consist not only in an attractive price and decent product quality, but also in Free oil change options, which is provided by retail outlets whose specialization is the sale of oil for bottling.
Draft oil trade: assessment of business attractiveness
In Russian realities, bottling trade in motor oils is considered a fairly promising area. As a comparison, you can look at the Western countries. There, about 80% of motor oils are purchased by car owners at branded service centers, where they are immediately replaced. In our country, the situation is reversed: only 10% of car owners buy and change engine oil at service centers, while the remaining 90% purchase it in cans and then change it themselves.
It is also worth noting that the markup on motor oil, when it is sold in bottling, can be 100% or higher, especially for oils of inexpensive brands. Agree that now there are quite a few goods, the sale of which at retail allows you to make such cheats.
Of course, another positive aspect is the constant growth in the total number of cars (according to statistics, by 5-10% annually). This greatly increases the number of potential clients and many of them are women. It is women who are the gold vein in such a business, since outlets that sell draft motor oil quite often offer customers who have bought products from them a free oil and filter change in a car. This marketing ploy is very successful, because most women are simply not able to make such a replacement on their own. So it turns out that car enthusiasts will come to your store with pleasure, and the main thing here is to attract their attention before a competing company does.
As for competitors: there are more of them in this business every year, and in almost every city there are already stores that specialize in selling motor oil for bottling from barrels. However, it is too early to say that the market for this direction is overcrowded.
Premises for business organization
The minimum area of the room should be 25-30 m² because oil barrels take up a lot of space. You will also need a warehouse (area from 10-15 m²). Depending on the region, renting a suitable room will cost from 15 thousand rubles per month.
At the same time, you should not invest heavily in interior design. A little cosmetic work is enough to make the store look neat, although some merchants do without repairs at all.
The location of such an outlet is of fundamental importance. You can stay both in the immediate vicinity of the road and in a residential area. The consumer will be able to find you on their own, for this it is only worth spending a little money on advertising the future store.
Additionally, you should find a room where you will carry out a free replacement of the oil purchased from you and a master who will do this. To this end, you can try to go to a regular garage.
Amount of required investment
For the normal functioning of the store, it will be necessary to purchase engine oil in barrels (7-10 varieties), including both expensive and affordable brands. It is better to start with the purchase of 5 barrels of inexpensive oil (total cost of 70 thousand rubles) and 5 expensive (total cost of 200 thousand rubles).
To expand the range offered, standard cans of engine oil should also be purchased, as customers will come who want to purchase it. It will have to spend about 50 thousand rubles.
An additional cost item will be the purchase of related products (filters, flushing oils, brake fluid, candles, antifreeze, additives and other auto chemicals). About 100 thousand rubles will be spent on this, but the presence of such goods can significantly increase the turnover of the outlet.
Consequently, it will take about 420 thousand rubles to create a decent assortment line of the store. To the main costs, you need to add the cost of commercial equipment (about 20 thousand rubles) and the cost of carrying out (if necessary) cosmetic repairs in the room (30 thousand rubles).
Thus, the total cost of opening a store will be about 500 thousand rubles. This amount can be significantly reduced if it is possible to take motor oils for sale or with a deferred payment.
Required Documentation
To trade motor oil, you should open an individual entrepreneur (800 rubles and 5 working days) indicating the OKVED code 50.50 (“retail trade in motor fuel”).
This type of activity does not require licensing, but it should be borne in mind that motor oil belongs to the group of excisable goods, which excludes the use of UTII. It will be possible to use a simplified taxation system in the form of 15% of profit or 6% of revenue (optional).
You will also need to install a cash register, which must be registered with the Federal Tax Service.
Personnel search
To work in a store, you should look for not just a person who has experience in sales, he must be well versed in both motor oils and cars in general. At the same time, it is desirable that the future seller has good communication skills and can speak the same language with any of the customers, while giving practical advice.
You can motivate the seller by assigning him a small salary and a bonus, which will be a good percentage of the store's revenue.
Before you open an auto oil store, you need to realize: this type of business is full of hidden nuances. To succeed in it, a business plan must be thought out to the smallest detail.
Opportunities and prospects
The automotive oil shop has good prospects. The number of motorists is growing, and many motorists do not spare money for the maintenance of their personal vehicles. Therefore, sales of accessories and materials, including motor oils, will increase in the future. Along with the growth in the number of customers, the competitive environment is also growing, so not every entrepreneur succeeds in staying in a niche. The niche is narrowly focused, so before starting work, you need to consider your capabilities as objectively as possible and evaluate them for compliance with market requirements.
Package of documents
The auto oil store requires mandatory registration. IP will be enough to open one point. In addition, you need to obtain a number of documents that allow you to conduct such activities:
1. License and permission to sell flammable substances.
2. Document confirming the availability of premises (purchase or lease agreement).
3. Permits from the fire service and Rospotrebnadzor.

Business in the sale of motor oil in bottling
Unprecedented competition reigns in retail today, it is already difficult to find a product that is not represented in your city in sufficient quantities. Motor oil is no exception in this regard.
It is sold everywhere, anywhere - in stores, service stations, service centers, even on the roads.
Nevertheless, today a new format for trading in such a product has been opened - motor oil for bottling. Car owners immediately benefited from the purchase of such a product.
How to start a car sales business
Every year the number of cars is growing, not only big cities, but also small towns are subject to this trend.
A real car enthusiast takes care of his car, which means he is ready to invest money in it to ensure its normal operation.
And, of course, many car owners want to show their individuality or simply decorate the car the way they want. In this regard, there has long been a huge number of various car accessories on the market.
Automotive oil trade is one of the most profitable areas of automotive retail. Spare parts are needed only in case of breakdowns, owners of new cars often do without buying spare parts at all, repairing the car under warranty at a service center. Additional equipment and other goods, such as covers, are not bought by all car enthusiasts and not every year, in addition, these goods are sensitive to economic crises: they save money first of all.
But every car owner needs motor oil: regardless of whether the car is new or old, it passes forty thousand a year, ten or even stands in the garage, leaving it once a month. At least once, and sometimes 2-3 times a year, engine oil is changed in each car. Therefore, no shortcomings, the main of which is being classified as excisable goods, cannot be considered sufficiently justified so that the store does not have motor oils in stock.
Motor oils are sold in two types: in packaging and in bottling. It is a common misconception that the sale of bottled oils, unlike packaged oils, is subject to excise tax. It is difficult to find the roots of this misconception, but it is possible that it is connected with the activities of certain dishonest tax inspectors. The legislation does not contain special instructions for taxation when selling bottled motor oils: accordingly, the requirements are the same as for oils in packaging. Moreover, for the sale of draft oil, you do not need any special quality documents, compared to packaged oil.
More significant is another reason why auto shop owners are unwilling to deal with the sale of oil from barrels. The packaging of the manufacturer is a guarantee that the store does not bear any responsibility for the quality. The store will not accept any claims from the buyer, whose engine will jam due to oil, and not a single RFP department will file claims against the seller either.
In addition, draft oil has a very bad reputation, which is why the demand for it is lower than for packaged oil. A dishonest seller has the physical ability to dilute expensive oil of foreign brands with cheap Russian oil, and only an examination can prove the fact of such fraud. The effect of such a mixture on the engine is unpredictable: the interaction of some incompatible additives from different oils can, when heated to operating temperature, turn the oil into an acidic or alkaline slurry, due to which the engine will become unusable. After that, the car owner is provided with a major overhaul, and the store owner is provided with an inspection and a subpoena.
And finally, one more minus: the oil in barrels needs to be stored somewhere. When at least five or six brands of oil are available, and a barrel of each occupies about 1 m2, it is clear that there will be very little sales floor space of 8-10 m2, and visitors will simply have nowhere to turn around. Although car enthusiasts are picky about the design and internal logistics of a car dealership, this is part of the reputation, and it is necessary to take care of it.
The main advantage of draft oils is the economic benefit from their sale. Now we are not even talking about "black" methods of earning. Oil in a barrel will cost an entrepreneur on average one and a half times cheaper than packaged oil per liter. Due to this, the margin on it will be much higher.
For example, the purchase price of Elf oil in a 4 liter package will be 1000-1100 rubles (250-260 rubles per liter), and it will be sold for 1500 rubles (375 rubles per liter). Excluding taxes and other expenses, the net income from one package will be about 350 rubles.
The purchase price of a barrel of the same oil is 40,000 rubles for 216 liters, that is, 185 rubles per liter or 740 rubles for 4 liters. Such oil is sold at a price of 300-320 rubles per liter or 1200-1300 rubles per 4 liters. The net profit will be at least 500 rubles, that is, the sale of draft oil is 40-50% more profitable than packaged oil. When selling cheap oil, the difference is even more noticeable: up to 80%.
Whether to sell oil in barrels or not is the choice of an exclusively specific entrepreneur: the economic plus is really significant and equalizes all possible minuses. Moreover, if you treat your work honestly, buy oil in barrels only from trusted suppliers and control its quality, there should be no complaints from dissatisfied buyers.
Currently, every second inhabitant of the country has a car, often not even one. That is why the business associated with the sale of spare parts and other components for the car is very profitable and relevant today.
The complexity of such a business is quite specific, as it is unidirectional. But, nevertheless, most auto oil stores also offer related services, thereby expanding the range and increasing the profit of the enterprise.
Competition will be a huge problem in the development of such a business, because this market niche is almost overcrowded. One of the ways out is to find a good location for the store, in places with a very busy movement of motorists. If there are already similar ones in the territory where your store will be located, then try to supplement its assortment, and not repeat it.
The main task of your business is to offer the buyer as much choice as possible of high-quality automotive oil. Take care of your advantages over competitors, develop a more efficient service system at the enterprise.
In the organization of the business itself, you will not have any problems, it is enough to choose the organizational and legal form of management and register your enterprise. As for capital investments, in this case they will be small, this is due to the fact that your activity will be mainly trading. According to statistics, the project can pay off within six months, with other positive conditions.
In order for a business to develop successfully and bring tangible profits, you must first take care of drawing up a business plan. You can find some examples below in our article.

Background of the business
In May 2016, I was left without my main job. Favorite work, which faithfully fed me over the past 10 years.
To be honest, I never thought that after graduating from the Faculty of Law of one of the most prestigious universities in the country with honors, I would someday find myself in a similar situation. That I will go to interviews and look for a job myself. And that I will receive letters like these:
“We have carefully read your resume, but are not yet ready to make you an offer ...”, or such: “You are too overqualified for our vacancy.”
Well, it is clear that I did not want to go to work for 15-20 thousand hryvnias. It's not even $500-800 now. And I'm already too old for this shit - too old to work for someone for that kind of money.
Well, it was just right to leave Olympus, remembering those ancient times, how I, a very green and young lawyer who had just graduated from the university, was invited to work by 5 companies at once. And I could choose where to go.
Times change. Now I had to look for companies to offer them my services.
Life is a very unpredictable thing and you never know where to lay straws and where you can take a certain risk. The twists of fate are unknown to us and we can only adapt to the objective reality, whatever it may be.
That is why, I urge all citizens not to be lazy, and to have. So that if one source ceases to exist, you are insured - the rest.
But I, by nature, am an optimist and always look at the next problem - with a challenge. Always - philosophically, with humor and faith in a cloudless future! Only this way and not otherwise!
Life decided to play cat and mouse with me? Test me for the strength of the spirit?! Well, I was willing to take a chance and see who wins! I gladly accepted the proposed rules of the game.
For the first few days, I had a strange feeling. Feeling empty. Everything that I did before, now, suddenly, ceased to have any meaning. This was unusual for me. New.
I had enough time to think about it in a calm environment, look around and realize a few simple things.
Firstly, that our native Ukraine is in a deep ... hole. Ukrainians are impoverished. The number of unemployed has increased. The competition has intensified. Small business creaks and tries to survive.
Vladimir Borisovich Groysman knows what to do with all this trouble. I really hope that he knows, because it's time to start raising the country's economy. It's time to lend to small and medium-sized businesses, because if this is not done, we will compete with Zimbabwe in terms of wages for a long time to come.
Business is done by the state, not the state - business. Businesses pay taxes. Business develops the economy. Doesn't anyone at the top understand this?
And what do I hear in the news from advisers of different ranks? Tighten taxes. Abolish the single tax. And other, excuse me, nonsense.
In general, the time when you have already been fired, but have not yet found a new job for yourself, is a very interesting time. Useful, I would even say. Because new horizons and opportunities open before you. You stop living in the usual rhythm and you can see, it would seem, the same familiar things, from a completely different angle.
How did the idea of a business selling engine oil for cars come about?
I'm the kind of person who doesn't like to sit idle for a long time. And while I was sending out resumes to law firms and going to different interviews, I had the thought: “Why not open a new business?”.
Of course, it was possible to focus on the business that my wife and I already had (how I organized it and wrote it), and continue to develop it.
But, firstly, the wife and one with this business did an excellent job and is coping, and secondly, what kind of man am I if I don’t have my own business ?! My own offspring, which I will organize, nurture, and force to bring us additional (or main) income?!
At first, I wanted to open my own law firm (I believe that almost every lawyer with many years of experience thinks about this sooner or later). However, there were many different pitfalls here, the main one being where to find clients?!
After all, you can open a law firm even tomorrow. Register LLC, or PE. Rent an office, buy a laptop, connect the "League" and humbly wait for customers. But what's the point?
The current economic situation in the country is such that it is simply unrealistic to find large clients for an unknown company. Good (monetary) clients have long been dismantled and retained by large Ukrainian law firms from the TOP-50.
A foreign company or a large factory will not come to a firm without a name.
And to deal with any small things, such as registering enterprises, obtaining certificates, permits, licenses, etc., has long been uninteresting for me. After all, this is more of a technical job that any graduate of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv can handle. Especially now, when the Ministry of Justice has allowed companies to register and receive many documents online without leaving home.
Previously, I met with several partners I knew, who went into free swimming, opening their own legal offices. So, even their lawyers (in a firm that is already several years old, with a certain established client base) earned up to 15,000 hryvnia per month. Partners, of course, had a little more, but not by much (pay taxes, office rent, staff salaries, how much will remain?!).
Times are tough right now, to be sure.
On the other hand, I wanted to move away from law a little and try myself in something new. Moreover, there were good reliable partners who had long been offering to join their cause.
How we started a business selling motor oil for cars and trucks
In general, after consulting with my wife, I decided to open a new business, not related to law, while continuing to search for a job in my specialty. Still, I love jurisprudence and it holds a special place in my heart.
In just a few days, Garage Luigi appeared on the network - an online store selling engine oil for cars and trucks.
I decided not to bother, and for the time being, open an online store on the Prom.ua platform. This turned out to be cheaper than creating a separate site and promoting it (the simplest tariff with minimal basic promotion will cost about 3,000 hryvnias a year).
In comparison, to create a separate site now, you will need at least $ 300. You will pay about 3,500 hryvnia more per month for its promotion.
Prom.ua, in our case, was quite suitable for a launch pad to attract the first customers. In the future, depending on how things go, it will be possible to create a separate site.
It was also very useful for us that my wife is an officially registered private entrepreneur who has the right to wholesale and retail almost all goods, for which it is not necessary to obtain a license in accordance with the Law of Ukraine "On Licensing Activities."
It also proved to be useful that we had an office, which, of course, was used for the main business, but which could also be used as a warehouse for motor oil.
Why Luigi's Garage?
When I came up with the name of the store, I proceeded from the fact that the Italian car industry has always been famous for its quality, sophistication and beauty. Ferrari, Lamborghini, Alfa Romeo - these are the cars that need no introduction. You just get away from them. They have passion and soul.
In this I am impressed by the Italian masters. They are truly great professionals. And yet, in contrast to excessive German pedantry, Italians are always a bit of adventurers, driven by passion and feelings.
An important role in the name of the store was also played by the character "Luigi" from the cartoon "Cars". It was a nice Fiat 500 repairman.
I wanted to breathe soul into the name, so that it would become unique, have its own history and, perhaps, a character. And, of course, it did not contain any boring prefixes, like: auto (auto-moto, auto-house, auto-garage, chic-auto, etc.).
I didn't think about the logo for a long time either. I chose an ordinary old car (Fiat, by the way) and made an inscription under it.
It turned out pretty cute.
Why did you decide to sell motor oil?
Well, firstly, our partner supplies engine oil and auto parts for trucks (i.e., the goods are almost always in stock), and secondly, there are more and more cars every year in Kiev and Ukraine.
And, I bet, on the parrot of the old flint, none of the drivers will refuse to buy motor oil from us at good prices.
I will even say more, Garage Luigi boldly competes with such a giant as ATL.
Our prices are really cheap!
What engine oil do you sell?
We sell modern synthetic and polysynthetic engine oil for gasoline and diesel engines of brands: WOLF(Belgium), ELF And MOTUL(France).
There are packings on 1, 4, and 20 liters.
For more information on engine oil, its advantages over other types of oil, you can get by visiting the official website of Luigi's Garage.
Well, our next business experiment has started. The store has been launched. Clients are slowly showing up.
So, if you need to please your iron friend with modern high-quality motor oil, please contact us!
P.S. After a month of being unemployed, I was invited to cooperate with one of the leading law firms in Ukraine. This means that Luigi's Garage will be mainly run by his wife. I have no doubt that she will succeed!
