Book Description

Start Your Own Wholesale Distribution Business December 1, 2003

You say you like doing deals and making money but don't care much about getting into the retail grind?

Maybe you need to be the person in the middle-the wholesaler, the one who buys goods in volume from manufacturers and sells them to retailers at a profit. With millions of products on the market already and new ones coming every day, the wholesale economy has plenty of room for growth.

This guide tells you how to start thriving wholesale operation, specializing in any industry you choose-and run in from your kitchen table, if you like. Entrepreneur magazine has interviewed dozens of successful wholesaling entrepreneurs and distilled the best of their advice into a format that's easy to read and understand. You'll learn:

  • How to make contact with manufacturers and retailers
  • How to obtain product exclusives
  • How to find prime locations for your wholesale distributorship
  • Insiders' secrets for overcoming your competition

Start Your Own Wholesale Distribution Business also includes sample forms, step-by-step instructions, checklists and worksheets to guide you smoothly through each stage of the startup process.

It's a straight shot from where you are today to owning and running your own business tomorrow-and you can start right now.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money, May 27, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Start Your Own Wholesale Distribution Business (Paperback)
The saddest thing about this book is that Amazon wants to charge me $4.95 to return it when the description on the web site is clearly wrong. The book is 85 pages (+ 14 appendix/index pages), not 200, and isn't worth the paper it's printed on. An absolute waste of time and money.

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of Money, Lack of Information, February 11, 2005
This review is from: Start Your Own Wholesale Distribution Business (Paperback)
Good thing I was able to return this book. Way too short and provided lack of important information. Much of the text can be researched online and most of their ideas are common sense. The Appendix they provided are weak. The web sites provide little to zero of help. If you really want to learn more about this kind of business, ask directing to the manufacture.

2.0 out of 5 stars Hardly worth the trouble, January 23, 2005
This review is from: Start Your Own Wholesale Distribution Business (Paperback)
Hardly worth the trouble, much less the price. Wholesale distribution is not the kind of business that the average person just decides to start out of the blue, like a maid service or tv repair shop. For some weird reason, this book treats WD just like that. The author assumes you know absolutely nothing about running a business and must be tutored on elementary details. The meat of the whole WD issue is hardly touched. The scope of the book is extremely limited, and other than a single obscure reference in the appendix, it was totally useless to me.
