Starting ASmall Import Business
Start a Small Import Business
We live in a small world. Let's face it, over the past 50 years
our world has gotten smaller and smaller. With the rise of the
internet and telecommunications, it is not only much easier to
contact people all over the world, but to do business with them
as well. For most of us in American, the majority of products
that we now buy are from overseas. They are imports and the
businesses that are bringing these products into this country
are becoming extremely successful and profitable. How can you
share in the profits- its easy start an Import Business.
Don't worry if you don't have the capital for a huge warehouse.
I am talking about a small home based business where you can
sell you imported products over the web on either your
independent web site or a popular auction site such as EBay.
There are many sites that try to connect you with manufacturers
all over the world. Many people jump to connect with businesses
in China and Taiwan, because there products are extremely cheap,
sometimes pennies on the dollar.
For instance, A great product to sell are cell phone
accessories. Chargers and holsters which cost about $10 to $15
dollars in the store are literally less than 25 cents or less
from overseas. The problem is where do you find these companies
There are many directories that have sprouted in the last few
years. One of the biggest directories that bring manufacturers
and sellers together is Alibaba.com. This is a great site to get
started on because it is filled with products and companies from
all over the world that would like to connect with you. They
have a large listing of many different products which can easily
be sold online for a great price and profit. Other sites are not
that well known and will need you to do some research. Many
companies overseas have websites that are not only in their own
language but also made for English speakers who would like to
purchase their products.
So, if you're interested in extremely cheap products that can be
sold for a good profit, take a look at buying the products from
overseas and importing them into the country.
