Of course, it is difficult to say how much you want to gas stations one country or another: whether it is directly dependent on the number of cars or people in the country: the United States with a population of 280 million more than 120,000 gas stations in Canada (33 million) - 14 000 in Italy (60 million) - 20 000, but in a much more populous China - only about 30 000. It is interesting that there are countries where the number of stations is growing. Experts believe that especially promising, Turkey, Mexico, South Africa, Kenya and other African countries.
Fluctuations in the market of retail sale of fuel do not cancel the main thing: gas stations will remain popular as long as the car. Even the transition to new fuels would mean a possible change of equipment at the gas station than its elimination.
If you are interested, on the advice of the magazine Homes Overseas should start with a professional inspection of all documents showing the possibility of the station. The main thing should be evaluated - the daily sales, which ultimately depends on income, which should correlate with the expected costs. Usually, evaluation to hire a lawyer and financial adviser (accountant), working in tandem. However, the personal observation of the way stations are routine, not hurt - so you can form an idea about the target audience, which is always useful.
By selecting an object for purchase, it is important to correctly estimate its location. Supermarkets, shopping mall, entertainment centers, and industrial zones are always very convenient neighborhood. Although it always necessary to check whether this filling demand.
It should be possible to know exactly what plans the authorities in this area, there are going to build new roads or otherwise dispose of the surrounding areas. Infrastructure changes can be both positive and negative: for example, in Europe, gas stations were much lower due to the replacement of traditional intersections in the rotunda.
In different countries, forms of ownership of gas stations differ. Most equipment is either the owner of a franchise, or service company. Land may be owned by a business owner, the state or municipality, and this determines the possibility of the station. For example, in Italy requires the consent of the owner of the franchise network to move the company to another owner, and permission to install washers are in the municipality.
Now come to the prices. Talk about them quite difficult in isolation from the concrete: the station about the same size can cost tens of thousands of dollars in one country and millions - in another. In UK, the construction of a modern filling station sells 5 million liters of gasoline per year, costing 2 million pounds. Up to 60% of the amount spent on equipment, completely hidden under the ground, a significant portion is spent on security systems that ensure the ecological station and warn of leaking fuel long before it becomes a problem. In Europe, do not forget about the presence of the column with the gas. The amount seems impressive, but as a rule, a gas station is not built from scratch, but also takes a lease or management. In Bulgaria, 30 km from the town of Khaskovo, sold a gas station built in 1998, on which last year carried out redecoration, with updated equipment (3 gas stations and 1 gas), the total area of 100 square kilometers. Pm - price 250 000 Euros.
In Greece, entrance to the city of Thessaloniki, sold a gas station, equipped with loudspeakers not only for petrol, but also for LPG-fuel, with permission to refuel vehicles with liquefied gas (LPG) and compressed natural gas (methane). Here are 14 pistols company Aegean Oil, and the new owner can either extend the contract with the same company or sign a new contract. The lease on the ground will act another 20 years. In addition to the hardware profile, there is a sink-Tunnel, washing self, as well as the point of fast food. The station has the right to work round the clock. Offer price - 3.8 million Euros.
In Spain, a province of Murcia, for sale service gas station in an area of 16,670 square meters. m. There is a shop, beauty salon (for trucks and passenger cars), bar-restaurant, part of the space rented. It is filled with diesel fuel and gasoline two types of conventional varieties, and there are scales (up to 60 tons), and shed (2000 square meters. M). Cost - 2.4 million Euros.
Can you compare the purchase of refueling to other businesses? In Italy, for 100 000 Euros you can take in the management of a private bar in a provincial town, which can be profitable - or bring in three years 70 000 loss. For the right to operate a restaurant in a tourist area have to put on half a million Euros (depends on the location, number of seats and other circumstances). Even such a "trifle" as a license for a newsstand, you can buy for about 80 000 Euros - or pay the money only for the rent, if you can find a free license to the local municipality.
Summarizing, we can say that the gas station, despite his expressed utilitarianism, leaves room for creativity: You can always think of what else to attract a buyer. In the depths of dressing can become the focus of life and entertainment center - how about a device Internet cafe? In the vicinity of tourist centers to attract additional attention may be an interesting design of the station. Modern fueling significant savings on staff - and this is important, because in most foreign countries, particularly salary and taxes for each employee account for a significant portion of the cost. All the more common self-service gas station, but it is important to clarify that talk about this legislation: the USA, for example, in the two states of similar columns is prohibited. Finally, if we can develop a network of filling stations, it will be a win-win step: every network company brings more revenue per unit of investment.
So, driving along the roads of any country, examine them carefully, not only to the hotels or cafes, but also to the service station: you never know, maybe one of them will be yours.
