Starting UP a Business - Newbie Needs Information on finding Suppliers - How to Search Reliable Wholesalers?
Greetings,
I'm a corporate attorney in his late twenties who recently realized that his life and career are not going in a desirable direction. As such, I decided to move back to my native Puerto Rico (USA) and become an entrepreneur. As the first of three offspring, it is somewhat expected of me to keep the family business going on what has become an increasingly difficult market. In order for things to keep moving forward I have found that we must diversify.
I'm currently in the early stages of starting my business. I stumbled upon this wonderful place as I searched for a supplier/manufacturer (something I have yet to find). Any help as to what supplier to work with and what platform to use would be greatly appreciated. I hope to help others in my situation someday. Only time will tell if I made the right decision. Right now, I'm just excited to get to work!Want To Be An eBay Powerseller?This is the Service You Need.

Hi Prime,
You said you were looking for a supplier or manufacturer. If you buy direct from manufacturers you will pay substantially less for the products than if you buy from a wholesaler.
You need to source direct from genuine manufacturers at real ex-factory prices. Many people use the expression "wholesale" in different ways. If you want to buy from a wholesaler you will pay wholesale prices. If you want to buy from a manufacturer, you will pay ex-factory prices, which are the prices paid by the wholesalers who then add their margin.
If you buy direct from the manufacturer you can pocket the difference.
The importing procedure is daunting for most people, but it can be done very simply once you know how to use other people's expertise. I have the experience and training that would enable me to handle all import procedures myself, but when operating my former importing business I left that work to others and that is what I recommend to all newbie importers.To learn safe overseas sourcing and how to buy small (or large) quantities at best prices see→ http://provenchinasourcing.comLearn to find genuine manufacturers and negotiate small orders at prices way below what wholesalers charge.
