Choose which products you want to sell

The first step to a successful reselling business is choosing what products you want to sell. Finding the right products for your company is crucial for success.

There is a large variety of products available for reselling. In order to be successful in your venture, you should consider your own expertise, your target group, and current developments in the different markets when choosing which products you want to sell.

Get a reseller’s permit

To enable you and your customers to properly pay taxes on your sales, you need to register your business and obtain a reseller’s permit from your government’s tax department. This way, you will avoid being fined for reselling a large number of items without paying sales tax.

For more detailed instructions on how to obtain a reseller’s permit, look at your local regulations.

Become an authorized seller of branded products

Once you have your reseller’s permit and have chosen which products to sell, you can get started with your business. There are different ways to become an authorized seller of a product.

• Check out company websites

If you’re looking to sell products from a specific brand, a great point to start is to check out the company’s website. Many companies have a dedicated website for B2B customers explaining how to become a distributor of their products.

• Look at online directories

You can also look at online directories such as worldwidebrands.com to find products to resell. These pages have a large selection of items available for reselling and provide you with direct access to whole sellers.

• Ask for referrals within your own network

If you already know someone who has a reselling business, it is always a good idea to make use of those connections and pick their brains on where they source their products.
