Looking for Business Partner - Electronic Cigarettes

[kaito]

Location: Southern California - LA Area
Looking for: Business partner/investor
Investment amount: $5000.00

A little background...
I started selling electronic cigarettes about 2 years ago after hearing about it somewhere on the internet. I got really interested and became a member of a large forum dedicated for electronic cigarettes. After days of research, I found a reputable and affordable priced quality ecigs. I started off on Craigslist (still do) and went to the swapmeet, and now, I own a small website selling electronic cigarettes (so small, nearly no traffic). I need help expanding the business and really want to make it work out. If this sounds something like you're interested in, please read below.

There are many sites selling these products but only a few stores locally. I have checked out competitor prices and know that I can match or beat most if not all of them. I have a reputable wholesaler who I have been using for over 2 years now but I just don't have the money to have a brick-and-mortar business.

Supplier: My supplier is from China which takes some time to import into the USA and that is why we need to purchase these items in large bulks. Currently, the e-cigarette is not illegal nor is it regulated in the state of California. We should take advantage of this and sell, sell, sell!

Competitors: There are a few companies such as "Smoking Everywhere" or "NJOY". These companies have been selling at the malls for some time now but I am sure we can beat their prices. Here is a quick comparison:

Competitors - 1 atomizer, 1 battery, charger, samples
US- 1 atomizer, 2 batteries, charger, samples + extras!
Competitors - $120 for a starters kit
US - $55 for a starters kit (more or less a few extra bucks)
Competitors - Limited product selections
US - We can supply 2 high quality, popular models, with lots of accessories to choose from!

Candidates:
- I need someone who has done their own business before and have a knowledge with all things required to start a business. I already have a business license, seller's permit, etc. but you must still understand things.
- 18+ only please
- Knowledge of e-cigarettes is a plus
- Investment amount of at least $5000.00 to start
- Must be a active partner who will devote their time to the business

If you have any questions, please PM me and we can discuss more things. You MUST be local (sorry it's so limited) and I can send you price sheets, some brochures I use, and discuss more things in detail.
