Seek the assistance of a marketing research professional or company in your area.

It really varies. You need to have plenty of sketches for the clothes that you want to be distributed; a target group (corporate wear? children's wear? causual? adults? the list goes on); a good sales pitch to the possible distributor;  excellent interpersonal and communication skills; patience; persistence. It will be easier to start on your own, establish yourselves and then once you are more financially secure, find a distributor.\n\nFor property, you can ask a real estate agent or do the search yourself. Usually, vacant spots have contact numbers available to the public. The classified ads and the internet are some media that you can use.\n\nGood luck.

I think there is an online company called "Neighborhoodies" that does that as well as other customized clothes ... the city ones are called "communi-tees".

Try ebay.  You should be able to find new and used sold by both individuals and in bulk.  Just make sure to buy from sellers who have a 98% feedback rating or higher and odds are the clothes will be fine.  Reading the feedback they have recieved is another good way of determining quality.

I would suggest you start somewhere small like flea markets and garaging just to get a feel.\n\nI want to open a shoe store and I sell used and new shoes at flea markets and garage sales in the summer.\n\nAnd if that works out try selling on eBay (i know, i know, the fees) and after you get so many customers open an eBay store.\n\nOnce your eBay store is open you can open a yahoo merchant store, or a ProStore, and still keep your eBay store.\n\nAnd find clothing wholesalers, they aren't difficult to find.  By low sell high.\n\nAfter that put your online address everywhere: On blogs, 360pages, My Space pages (yours, one just for your store, family members, and friends), and print adds in newspapers.  And if it can be posted anywhere then put it there.\n\nI wish you all the best and if you get your site up I will gladly put a link on my blog and 360pages.

Selling stuff on Ebay. It's hard to find product (and nobody is willing to say what they sell). But, once you find it, it's a great full or part time job. Start by selling your kids old clothes. Take great pictures, ship fast, and you shouldn't have any problems.\n\nJust don't go through a drop shipper! Never, ever sell anything you don't have in your possession!\n\nGood luck!

Start with something you or someone you know already own. \n\nI started a business making leather goods with only $300 investment. I already had most of the tools and supplies but I needed a wider range of leather. My first time selling netted $700 profit and I still had 3/4 of my supplies left. I turned it into a $80G a year business in two years.\n\nOne important factor in creating a business is passion. You have to love what you do.\n\nFrom a cleaning service (everyone has enough supplies to do at least the first house or two..then you reinvest your money to grow), to house painting (more supplies but can be bought at dollar stores for the first house), and the list goes on.\n\nI have built and sold 7 businesses in my life and am on business 8. Don't feel that once you start, thats where your stuck forever. Feel free to learn and grow with life. Get the book "Who moved my cheese" to help you learn how to move through tech changes.\n\nTake a piece of paper and draw a page sized T on it. The right side is cons the left is pros. Write your abilities down on the pro side then pencil in the cons to having a business doing that ability. You will find one or two strengths to work on.\n\nOnce you find what you want to do, find someone who is doing it and ask some questions. You will need to know how long it took to become established. Does the business support them and or their family. Do they like what they do. If not, why.\n\n2 out of three privately owned businesses fail the first year. They tend to work best when you have another job the first year or even two so you can reinvest your money to build the business. Its hard work but worth it if it makes you happy.

Clothing is a BIG business on eBay. Try shopping a discounter like TJ Maxx, Ross for Less, Marshalls or whatever it is called in your area for women’s clothes from designers like Ralph Lauren, BCBG or Tommy Hilfiger. Often times you can find, for example, a woman’s shirt that sells in the mall for $50 on sale for $10. Odds are if you put it on eBay for $25, you would sell it. The customer thinks they saved $25 and you made $15. :) Now multiply it by 100 sales and you are in business. I do about $2K a month in sales and I profit about $500 and that’s from just working part time. It is not "easy money", you do have to work at it, but if you are willing to invest the time and effort, you can do it.

You could save up all your money in the bank and invest in savings bonds. You could also start your own business. Some of the easier things are doing web templates. You could also join www.cafepress.com (design clothes + merchandise) and become a shopkeeper there. It's kinda hard at the beginning, but you have to make better designs and advertise more to get better sales.\n\nGetting a job is prolly the best solution.

Well first you need a second hand children's clothing store constructed. Second after that, you need to hire staff, have electronic pos systems installed plus credit/debit card terminals. Plus you need people to give you second hand children's clothing to sell.
