heyy, im 18 and im trying to do some research on opening a clothing store for the hip hop genre.

some questions that i have are...

im trying to make a bussiness plan, and find out some financial projections. but i cannot even find how to contact clothing compainess and ask about how much i t will cost to have them supplie my future store. because this store is only in research stages i am stuck on this because i believe no one wants to release there prices to someone who is not a ligitamte bussiness owner.

im wondering a generaliztion price of starting up a small "boutique like" store like this.

also is it better to find wholesalers, or to go directly to the company and ask for them to supply my store.

all respones and advice are greatly apprecited.

i would also like to here from anyone with experince in this type of market.

thanks alot
