FAQ
Which is more suitable for startups: online or physical shops?
For capital-limited startups, online shops are preferable due to lower investment and reduced risk. However, if your products require physical experience (fashion, beauty), physical shops offer better conversion rates. Choose based on product type and target customers.
What percentage of physical shop investment goes to rent?
In Hong Kong, rent typically accounts for 30-50% of physical shop startup costs, plus decoration, equipment, and staffing. Operating costs are 10x higher than online shops, requiring stable sales revenue to sustain.
