Ladies Tailoring Shop

By consciouseffort

A friend of mine is interested in opening a shop exclusively for Ladies where the tailors would also be female. Her husband runs a Trading & Contracting business & she'll take permission to open up a separate Tailoring division under the same Commercial Registration.

At present, she is studying the concept so that she doesnt incur loss.

1. She plans to hire local female tailors under husband / father's sponsorship.
(She'll have their CID Clearance papers + proper work permits from Ministry of Labour Department)

2. She plans to buy sewing / embroidery machines related to this preferrably of Singer brand.

3. Timings would ofcourse be straight 8 hours with 1 hour lunch break in between 6 days a week.

4. She'll be opening bank accounts for her staff for salary purpose so that she doesnt face any claim from the staff later on.

What are your suggestions in this regard that she should take care of. She has plans to open Nursery + Beauty Parlour too. Any of your suggestions in this regard & keeping market trends in mind would help her in starting a successful venture.

No she realizes but in 8-5 job you are bound to stay in office, whereas she & her husband are planning to have a villa which could both be used for residential & commercial purpose so in between she can monitor her child too :) Dont worry she is intelligent enough to handle both child & business at the same time.

Oh thankyou very much for the wonderful advises, she definitely forgot to include these things in the list. What else would be required pls go on.

Regarding her target, she is actually working somewhere from 8-5 & expecting a child very soon, so instead of doing a job she prefers to do something on her own which would allow her to take care of her child too herself.

business permit and the qatari labor law manual should also be added to her list.

also,secure a permit from the baladiya about health and safety requirements.dnt forget to install fire alarms and place fire extinguishers on the shops.
