Dumb question but... how do I find a wholesaler?

I'm thinking about starting a medical supply business but have no idea where to get a supplier for the stuff I want to sell. Particularly latex gloves and small simple items. I think my strategy would be to start small and easy to order items.

That's a good question because the legit and real dropshippers and suppliers do not advertise and have little exposure. a great place ot find what you are looking for would be to purchase the supplier directory at http://www.worldwidebrands.com/ . While it does cost money($70), it would probbaly have exactly what you need and would save you alot of time. You coudl contact Eric, the moderator here, if you would like to spend less becuase he was going to buy the directory in a group.

There are also sites on the net that bring buyers and sellers together, like Alibaba.com or the Yahoo B2B directory has quite a few. Many of them specialize in bringing north american buyers to Asian markets.
Heres the link to the Yahoo B2B directory http://dir.yahoo.com/business_and_ec...de/directories
I hope you find what you're looking for!
