The only advantage of being a wholesaler is the bility to buy product in extremely large quantity so you can supply it to people that are selling in smaller quantity.
There is greater profits to be made as long as there is demand in what area you are dealing on.

Wholesalers are also liable to some competitions in their areas of concentration.
In as much as a huge sum of profit could be made from the business for people that are able to invest serious capital but at the same time they still have some challenge they will face along.

Wholesale business is actually very lucrative if you know how to go about it honestly. If you're establishing it offline then you would have to choose a location with less amount of buildings or houses around.

Yes that's the hidden fact about it, unfortunately most of the people out there are not aware of that. There's always competition in this type of business. But if everything is set in order it will work as expected.

Yes , that is why most of the business we are about to establish we need to understand what the business entails before we commit ourselves. Some business as I have understand are more competitive than others , even wholesalers understand this.

Wholesale business is a profitable one in most places. What you need is a good big store that will be enough for all the things you will selling. Another important factor is budgeting for marketing and advertisement so that you can attract retailers.

Wholesale business means you buy product in bulk, mainly from the producer, and sell it in pieces to small business owners and final consumers. To start this business, you need a lot of money as capital.

When you are selling wholesale, you will have to focus on bulk selling because you have a small profit margin for each product and when you sell in bulk, you will have relatively a better profit margin.

Being involved in wholesale means that you may need to remain in contact with many middlemen who may buy products and sell them to many retailers in the market.

There are lots of advantages involved in becoming a wholesaler and you would need enough experience and you must be able to carry people along if you really want to become successful as a wholesaler.

Personally I believe that anyone can be a wholesaler provided they have the money to start the business.
It is not easy financially because you will need a huge budget so as to be able to buy products in huge quantity to supply to multiple retailing stores and offices.

As a wholesaler, you are likely to profit more when you are directly buying from the manufacturer. If you buy from the manufacturer, you are likely to profit more than buying from the supplier.

I think that many wholesalers do buy directly from manufacturers. However, we must also notice that many wholesalers also buy products from middlemen who are in contact with the manufacturer.

I feel that you should have sufficient expertise as a small scale trader before you start wholesale, especially in some niches. This will give you an idea of what to do and avoid, develop a good customer base fast and know how to get goods at cheaper rates.

Manufacturers are most of the time work with the supplier, they sell through suppliers. If the business buys through the suppliers, they end up paying more. Buying directly from the manufacturer is the best idea. But sometimes it is impossible to break the supply chain.

I agree with you. This business will require to have good knowledge of how retailers work. And the best way of knowing is if you have ever done the retail business. You will be familiar with your customers and know exactly what they want.
