Startup Help

Hello all,

My name is Dan and I am 19 years old. I have dabbled in a few small businesses in my past even though I am only 19 that have all showed profit. However since time constraints I had to stop them all. Now I am trying to start up a new business since I have gotten my college life settled and so forth. It is a import furniture business, as by pure luck I found on vacation a city that not even google or mapquest can locate that creates the most amazing furniture that I have ever seen. However, furniture business is a new aspect of business that I unfortunately have no startup knowledge about. Can anyone share some insight to me on how I would go about starting up this import furniture business. There is a great profit to be made and I just do not know where to begin. Thanks a lot and I appreciate any help that is given.

First of all you need to make sure you have the contact information for the seller, and you have the available transport to get it from the locaiton to your location.

You are going to have to have a storage facility if theres going to be alot of furniture being imported.

Also you are going to have to think how you will sell this product, via the internet? via local shops? via furniture outlets? Then you are going to have to contact them about selling them, if you aren't having look getting through to them hire an agent to do all the contacting etc whilst you sort out getting in the products and storing them.
