Try Sam's Club.\nTry eBay.\n\nThere are also several places on the Internet that will sell products at a lower-than-retail price.\n\nI guess that it all depends on exactly WHAT it is that you want to get wholesale (any maybe why).\n\nGood Luck.

check out their feedback first ! most off them use a service call 'Drop shippers' Which is like a virtual warehouse but they can buy stock at wholesale prices and then sell them at what ever price they want to, but some are SCAMS be very careful !! Even ask the seller a question first as well.

You need to contact them and talk to them about becoming a distributor. This is the best way. If you are selling enough, then they may consider you. Keep in mind that they *might* have requirements that you need to meet (i.e. a store, accept credit cards, etc).\n\nCheers!

You can get a business license from the local government office of your area. However before you apply you have to get registered with the IRS to get a tax number as you will need this number in getting a business license.

You can get a state wholesale license for the state of California, by contacting your local City Hall.\n\nIf you are refering to a federal wholesale license, you can go to www.irs.gov and get one there for ten dollars. :)

First identify the suppliers that you are interested in. Secondly contact the company and ask to speak to a sales rep. Request a wholesale catalogue, and then the rep will try to make an appointment with you. If they think you do not have the capital most likely they will not send anything to you. Once you have a retail location setup sales reps will actually call on you.\n\nTo answer your question directly, a person would rely on the list of suppliers that they already knew from working in that industry. Or if you have a friend working in the industry you could ask them. If you don't have either then it would be best to get a job at least for a while working in a jewlery operation. Really liking jewelry and opening a business are two very different things. Everyone needs practical experience in whatever industry that they choose or the business is most likely doomed to failure before it even starts. \n\nYou can try Google, Yahoo, and other search engines for a list of jewelry suppliers but you are not going to find retail quality wholesalers publishing their price list on a website. One idea might be to choose a specific market and maybe take a class. I know this is not going to be a popular answer but running your own business requires experience, knowledge, contacts, and a lot of luck. It is a fact that most small businesses fail in the first year due to lack of preparation.

Where are you located (city/state)?  That would help direct you to someone who could help you find a buyer.

You need a business license from whatever municipality you have your business in. Go to municipal building for it. If you need resale number for sales tax, once you have business license, contact the States Eqalization Board, or whatever they call their tax office. YOu will get resale numbers from them. Good luck

Online store doesnt have to hire ppl as salesperson, their inventory is for shipping to around the world, and dont have to pay rent for their store.\nHence, they can give you deals on the prices. Also, the best thing is if the store is not in ur state, you dont pay sales tax!

You'll have to charge sales tax to those buying within your state.  To do that, you'll need a sales tax number.  Ask a local retailer where to get the application.  It's illegal to do business and not charge residents the sales tax.\nTo buy from suppliers within your state, you'll need the tax number to give them (because as a retailer you are exempt from paying the sales tax on items you buy for resale); otherwise your supplier will have to charge you sales tax.\nYou'll also need an assumed name (dba..."doing business as") certificate to be on file with the county clerk.  That's a legal requirement in most states.  You'll have to go to the county courthouse to fill out that form.  You can ask them there how to go about getting the sales tax number.

You should try sites like this, I've used this one before. Good luck. \nhttp://wholesaler.url40.net

I would organize the business as an LLC to protect your family's assets.  Register with the state (check their site for details).  Apply for an EIN (Employer ID Number) also called a Tax ID number.  If you do it by phone it's faster than by mail or fax.  Find out if you need a local or county business license.  I only needed a dba (doing business as) form to be filed in my county (but I operate my business from my home).  Then, apply for a Sales Tax ID number as you'll have to file regularly, usually quarterly, and notify the state of your sales tax collected.\n\nTo get a local business checking account, you need all of those forms along with your Driver's License and at least one other form of ID.  Many banks offer free business checking for small businesses.\n\nGood luck.  It's a lot of work, but well worth it.
