Starting a Business question

[mattman]

Hey me and a buddy have thought of a pretty cool business we would like to run as far as designs on t-shirts etc.... We have a name for it already, and were thinking about using cafepress.com, but weren't sure whether or not to use it or to completely start our own site etc.

Any ideas? Its plane and simple a Brand of clothing that stands for a revolution, and we think it would sell.

Dont use the web for your company, if u have clothing brand u qualify as a wholesale resseller so go to your local board of equalization and get your resellers permit but before u can dot that u need a federal id which u can get on the net for free at the irs site .. the permit is also free. when u have both of these u can sign up for an account on a site like broderbros.com or alstyle.com and u can buy at wholsale price with no tax than just find ur local mass quantity screen printer give them the design and boom .. this is the way to go of course if u want to make good profit.. if u get to big u will need a biz license which u can get from your city.. ..

i run a small biz that does custom shirts and i distribute to companies etc. if u want some cheap shirts to start off before doing all this email me at ccapparel@yahoo
