I set one up through my bank (Bank of America). Because I have a checking account I can make trades (buy or sell) for only 10 dollars each. It is a self directed account, meaning that I make all of the decisions regarding what stocks to buy, sell, etc. But it does offer some basic research tools and so far, some excellent customer service. I have been very pleased and highly recommend it-even though my stocks aren't doing as well as I had hoped;). Good luck.

I only know them on the wholesale side, not retail.  (Wholesale is when you, the loan officer, take the loan to them; retail is when you work directly for them.)  They never come through and can never do the deal in the end.\n\nIs there something special about your loan that you need them?\n\nLisa, lgewelke@hotmail.com, happy to help further ;)

I think you just need either a credit card or bank account for them to debit for each shipment.  The details should be on the website.

you are too vague for estimating, Are you going to manufacture? or buy from a wholesaler? or have someone else make it for you? How large a space do you need ? you will need office staff, warehouse staff, computer systems, software, Phone systemsforklifts, storage systems, Trucking companys need to be contacted and .....  Too many variables . You need a business plan

Probably the best way to go about doing this is talk to a local representative.  I live in Michigan, and their are all kinds of factroy outlet stores, start out here (that is start small) and they will eventually lead you in the right direction.  \n\nThe other thing you can do is go to their cooperate websites and look at the list of partners, contact them and find out how they obtained the brand.  If you "surf" the site enough you may also find your own direct way to speak to one of their representatives that can turn you into the right direction.\n\nI know like anything this sounds like a lot of work, but sometimes it takes work to get what it is you want, keep being persistant and you will get what you want.\n\nI hope I have been of some help and Good Luck !

Weekend market(jatujak) is a great source for clothing. Find a shipping Co. that ships to your town, and they can do your paperwork UPS is good for shipping small shipments to the US.I never do my own clearance. Go to a gov't website for South Africa to find labelling requirements. Labels can be made and sewn in your clothing(usually by the manufacturer). If not, the street ladies with sewing machines do a great job, too. Good Luck

Just need a business license and a tax id number. Any wholesaler will sell you parts if you have those.

Honestly, I would stay away from the the “wholesaler’s” game. What once was a great idea has now spread so everyone and their mother is doing it. Margins are razor thin at best and I suspect non-existent when you factor in most drop shippers or wholesale clubs "Membership fees" along with eBay and PayPal's cut.\n\nTake something that you're knowledgeable about and wait for a bargain. For example, lets say you know a lot about purses and one weekend you stumble across a shop having a clearance sale - $200 purses for $30 bucks (or whatever). Take it home and list it for $75. Your customer thinks they saved $125 bucks and you made $45. 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's not "easy money", you do have to work at it, but if you're willing to invest the time and effort, you can do it.

thats a hard one. you need a location first off, and you're gonna need some cash or high limit credit cards. most companies like fender, peavey, gibson, schecter, etc. are going to require you to meet a minimum order amounts. something like $10,000 - $20,000. peavey makes you order like that for each of their categories guitars, bass, P.A. gear. you're also going to need a mind for business, you want to have competitive prices, but you need to make sure that your margins are going to be high enough to pay the bills. many stores also have lesson programs, so you need to find teachers that are good with ppl and that students will come back to week after week. theres a lot going on when you own a music store.

Unfortunately, many ecommerce websites such as eBay and Paypal require credit cards or US bank account information. They need this to verify your identity, that you are 18 and over, and that there is a potential source of funds they can tap in the event of chargebacks for Paypal. Think of it as their guarantee. \n\nAs for shipping, decide on how you want to ship your items as the rates vary by country, by weight and type of postal service used. Go to your local post office, bring the package you will send (use the type of box and wrapping you will use) and ask your post office to estimate the charge for different services (express, parcel, air mail, etc.). And the important thing is to include your actual shipping cost in your total shipping cost charged to the customer (if you underestimate your shipping charge, then you will be shouldering the shipping cost instead of passing it on to your customers).
