Basically, the idea of this business venture is that you buy products at low prices and then sell them at higher ones.

3. Find Your Wholesale Supplier

The usual way now is to look online for your wholesale supplier. You can use Google or Yahoo or you can use search engines specifically for this like Top Ten Wholesale, Wholesale Central or goWholesale. If you are selling a product that’s more specialized, an option is to find local sources of the product. But you need to be real careful when using a local distributor.

4. Check out Alternative Sources

You shouldn’t restrict yourself to only official wholesalers online. When you do your research, it’s probably you’ve discovered other sources of products that you can purchase at low cost. For instance, you can buy the product much lower because of your close proximity. Explore other sources and you might just find a way to get wholesale products at much lower price.

5. Place Your Order

Lastly, when you have chosen and arranged all that was mentioned above, it is now time to contact the vendor and place your order. In doing so, make sure that you have acquired all necessary requirements needed for buying and selling of products. Some of the common requirements include local business license, sales tax license, state business license, federal license and reseller’s permit.

These are the things you need to do and accomplish if you decide to venture in the business of wholesaling and retailing. Of course, you need to become more familiar with the industry to avoid yourself from being scammed and ensure that you can become successful.
