You can start a business now. But keep it as a corporation with a friend. When your paper work comes through, transfer ownership as a gift

I know it aint easy however I think you should prepare a proposal or offer letter for the type of business you would want to do with these companies.\n\nAfter that do some research about how to contact these companies executives to present your business proposal, If your lucky enough.. you might be able to get in touch with few out of 10 odd you will try to contact.. \n\nTake it form there and depends on how goo dyour proposal is.\n\nGood luck bud!!\nCheers.

You have a good idea to start small and work up from there. You need to make sure all your paper work is in order before you do anything. Make sure your drivers are good drivers. Then start contacting local companies that ship out to get loads. As you start there will be a lot more that will come along with a  good reputation. Good Luck

Excellent choice! Becoming a travel agent also give you a open door for other services. And nope... 2 Businesses are not too many for that amount of poeple.\n\nFirst, see if you can get some information about your competitor, like: Customers service rating, prices, marketing strategies, and any other service that he may provide. Do this by asking people around your town and look in newspapers for their ads.\n\nAfter you do this, you need to work on your business plan, go to Entrepreneur.com for some tips and samples. Also, you need to wright at least 3 things that you can do better or cheaper than them (But keep your word and do it for your customers). \n\nNow a good Grand Opening "Open House" will be the best start up marketing strategy I recomemd. get some cheap but good looking invitations and give them out to the Mayor, City Hall workers, Police, Fire Department, Factories, and every other business in town. Try to get the Mayor to go to your open house, this way reporters will be there, too. That's free newspaper advertising...\n\nOh! if you have the resources see if you can advertise your grand opening sale on your local newpapers. Also put a banner outside your office with big letters about your grand opening and leave it their for at lease 3 month. This can get you some extra traffic...\n\nAnother thing. You need to have coupons for all those people at your Grand Opening, because the next time they think about traveling they will call the one they have a discount coupon from, and that would be you.\n\nOther services that you can offer are:\n\nTax Services\nAirport Transportation\nTelecommunication Services\nCar Insurance\n\nAnd you don't even have to do all this for yourself. Just partner with someone that prepares taxes for a percentage of the sale, or even better if they give you a wholesale rate, so you can charge your own price...\n\nHope this help, Sorry But I'm a little sleepy...\n\nGood Luck!\n\nYours truly,\n\nLuis Galarza, Business and Telecommuncation Consultant\nat: http://www.cogni360blog.co.nr and http://luisgalarza.blogspot.com

My husband went to Lima, Peru about 15 yrs ago and brought me home some beautiful peices of silver.  They mine silver there and it is extremely reasonable.  Maybe you could try searching the web for some wholesalers out of Peru.  Just a thought.  I didn't understand you to say you were going on-line to sell these, do you have a storefront or what?

Hi!\n\nThere are thousands of such businesses. It all depends on what you know already. Many of the consultants out there were able to start from zero, becuase their knowledge is their asset. For other smallbusiness ideas it's usefull to visit www.entrepreneur.com. Look here for example: http://www.entrepreneur.com/Your_Business/YB_Node/0,4507,110,00.html\n\nGood luck!

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?
