Well I know not to google random things, go to the small business administration, nor am I 18. What I do know if I opened my first ladies apparel store on 7-7-07 and just opened number 48 last week. I would have never been able to do it with a lot of help from others (so I try to pay it back by helping others). Taxes are not that bad so do not let them scare you. Finding product is also very easy. For the most part, the only VERY difficult thing will be, how do you compete with Wal-Mart selling almost the same thing for 80% less. You can send me a message I will be glad to help with anything I can from setting up a website, to getting space for less then the asking price per foot, store set up, creating your own bar code system and scanners for easy check out, I have done it all.But for your question... Things have brand names on them, from toasters to candy to ladies clothes. You get the manufactures name and then contact the company. They will not talk to you until you are a legitimate business with a license and everything so you must do that first. They will put you in touch with their rep for the area of the country you are in. The rep will supply you with books on their products, prices, and many times to a mock showroom of an actual store. All your orders will go through them. It is true that many big names will not do business with you unless you are selling like items, or make X amount of sales per month, so start smaller.This will get you started but it will still be rough with Wal-Mart prices always looming over your head. Do not do this for long (a year at max) until you make your first trip to china and set up a direct supplier/manufacture.
Dominic must not be too experienced.Before you guys do anything, you need to first have it all planned out. You don t want to open a business of any kind without knowing the ropes. There are many things you need to know and learn before opening up.For instance.Do you know that your gf is going to have to have good credit and an acceptable income before she signs the lease? So if the space she is wanting to rent is $3,000 per month, she has to be able to afford that with what she is already bringing in. The leasing agent will want to see proof that she CAN afford it. The small business operation isn t a the reason of owning a business is to make money kind of game. A lot of people think that they can lease any building and then pay the agent with what they make from it. 99% of the time that s not how it works.And you also need to know all tax requirements. Believe me, she doesn t want the IRS on her @$$. Should she ever have them after her, they can levy her bank account(s), seize and sell all of her inventory, and they can and will do anything and everything they can so that they get their money.And search for Clothing Wholesalers . Just be careful you aren t buying that fake replica stuff(if it comes from China, it s fake). Actually many clothing companies i.e. Abercrombie, etc. won t distribute the clothes to sell. And some won t even franchise due to the fact of people selling replica items.
call those companies like distrubution centers they should have anwsers. Sometimes you can deal with them. Google it.
