I want to start a CARTRIDGE business Need help

[supplyhunt]

Hi,
I am 20 years old, and looking to open up a cartridges business. I would like to know the markup on say.. HP, Canon, Brother and other cartridges. It seems that Staples, office depot and other big companies sell them at regular retial price, I have come accross several websites, that sell them for reasonable prices. I am in contact with Tech data (probably will open an account) I just want to know the general markup on cartridges? and where would be the best and cheapest place to get them. Thanks

Hmm I won't be able to help you to much but I do work in the printer copier industry as of now. Toner and Ink is a common thing everyone who prints, scanners, or copies has to have. Toner for bigger copiers are usually sold by the copier resellers so you probably won't stand a chance competing against them. Then again I might be wrong I'm not sure how high MFP (Multi-Function Printer) Resellers markup their prices. However you should be able to easily research the markup of prices via internet....best of luck

I guess mark up is something that you can come up with yourself. Check what your suppliers can qoute with you and check out what staples and the big retailers are offering

The price difference should give you a general buy, then you work your costing and see for yourself if it is viable.

Last of all, markup for bug brands I think is confidential info and I do not see you getting andswers for that in this forum.
