Stock Control and Stocktake Procedure
About this document
Stock is often a retailer’s biggest asset, and losses from errors, damage and theft can wipe out profit. Good stock control means you know what you have, where it is and what it is worth. An accurate year-end stocktake is also needed for your accounts and tax return.
The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.
Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
