Good luck. Wholesalers usually require minimums, resale permit, etc. You could try Cabela's... but they're not wholesale. If suppliers did what you want, they wouldn't be wholesalers, now, would they?

Any time you want to start; be sure you know the local licensing requirements. Then be sure to contact your agent about Bonding and Liabilty insurance. Find some partners unless your extremely proficient in your choosen area. Start small and don't over extend unless you have 100 / 200K$ to float around for parts and labor. Best advice is to go slow and pass alot of bussiness cards around. Your reputation is your best salesman. I know I have my own electrical bussiness and have decided to keep it small after alot of suffering and nights of worrying.

Have you checked with a bank or the Small Business Administration in your state?  If not, I would begin there.  They may be able to tell you where to go (ha, ha).\n\nI hate to be a pessimist but don't forget that over 80% or more of new businesses fail.  Given the economy right now I would reconsider unless you have a product which people need as opposed to a business where people can get along without your product or services.\n\nI worked with a guy who left his job that he had for almost 15  yrs & withdrew the money in his retirement account to start up his business.  Within 2 years he had to close up his store & he returned to the employer he worked for previously.  Not only did he lose the security of having a retirement account but he was also in debt & had to refinance his mortgage.  Unfortunately there are too many more like him.\n\nIf you decide to go forward with your plans, I wish you the best of luck in your venture.

Most businesses have similiar issues no matter their product.\n\nCheck out the outline on the small business administration website.  It will take some time to do but I strongly advise you do it for several reasons.  It will make you consider all the details of your business and you can provide it to potential investors who will gauge your likelihood of success (and security of their investment).\n\nGood luck.

There are a lot of international laws that govern these things.  I would contact a bank that works internationally and an international business lawyer to help you get setup.\n\nGood luck with your venture

Go to the SBA for some small business consulting.  The great people there will step you through your needs, but it will take some perseverence.

First go to your local bank and talk to them about a loan from the small business administration.  The small business administration not only does loans for small businesses but has people to offer advice on how to run a small business and end up with a profit.  Go for it and good luck.

Not too sure you can hire one, but to find one cheap look in exchange of mart or there is a firm in Wellinbough that sells them.can't re call name but look on the web, also look in local papers.

Fictitious name/business name registration would suffice. Businesses, even the smallest home-based operations, are required to register with either their city or county. Check with your city or county office the procedures in filing for business registration.\n\nLicenses are for specific businesses (e.g. restaurant, daycare) and marketing businesses are not often asked to apply for licenses. But to be sure, contact your county and ask for the requirements. On the Web, you can start by going to your Secretary of State website, which often have the information on how to start a business in your area.\n\nGenerally, businesses need an Employer Identification Number (EIN) or federal tax identification number. The EIN is used to identify a business entity such as a corporation, LLC, or partnership. Sole proprietorships that need to pay federal excise of employment taxes are required to get an EIN. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) web site at http://www.irs.ustreas.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=98350,00.html contains all the information you need about EIN and how to apply for an EIN electronically.\n\nA business that sells any tangible item is required to get a sales and use tax license. Sales and use tax that applies to the retail purchase, retail site, rental, storage, use or consumption of tangible personal property and certain services vary between states. Check with your state Comptroller office for the requirements and procedures in getting a sales tax number.\n\nAnother thing to consider is zoning permit, especially for home-based business. This is especially important if clients will be going to your home. While many home based entrepreneurs get away with not having to file zoning permits, the litmus test is often the neighbors. If a neighbor complains, then that's when the zoning board typically steps in.

A new business idea rarely qualifies for a bank loan (unless you have collateral).  You may however, be able to get an SBA loan.  Your banker can help you with this.\n\nMost likely, you will have to use your own money to start a small business.  Take a 2nd loan out of the equity in your house, use your savings, use 'cash advances' on your credit cards, etc.  These of course are risky and expensive.\n\nIt may be best to 'start small' with your idea and 'test the waters' to see if you can make it work.  Maybe renting a kiosk in a mall would be feasible.\n\nBest wishes and good luck!

It depends on what state you are in. Go to the Secretary of State website or your official state website -- they often have information on how to start a business and the permits and licenses required. Look up the department that issues permits and licenses and contact them.\n\nMost likely you will need:\n\n- zoning approval (for your signs, etc.)\n- liquors license\n- business name registration\n- fire department permit\n- building and contractors permit\n- public health operating license (as you will serve liquor)\n- sellers permit

Just search on-line for a company that offers company registrations. You can get one for as little as £20 that way. Alternatively, you can visit Companies House and do it yourself, which is cheaper if slightly less convenient.

First you would have to apply for a business license, before that though you should make sure to really research your items that you sell...or that your rental space will allow you to make a profit.  Its a good idea to make contacts with your suppliers now, that way you can see if its profitable business or something that will stress you out and barely keeping your head above water.
