does anyone know where i start off at or what steps do i take in order to getting my vedors license, im thinkin of starting up a little business and i need some help getting it started!!

 

www.ca.gov under "Business"

Go buy quickbooks.

Don't advertise a "Road Dyno"

Good luck!

 

thanx illy... ill start checkign into that.. but i guess what my real question is, do i just need a vendors license in order to buy at wholesale, and since i want to deal with companies such as HKS, greddy, APEXi, AEM and such.. is the only way to deal with them direct to become a authorized dealer, because im not to sure they will accept a little in house company to be authorized...

 

You'll usually need to have a place of business, a business license, and be able to demonstrate somehow that you're not just trying to get hookups for you and your friends. Most places have buy-ins, requirements for banner displays, and differing wholesale rates depending on what and how much you buy.

You may need to go through a distributor to start with, because then that hurdle with the OEM is not as much of an issue.

 

whut kind of distributor would i go through, like a regular company.. or one that shows that they deal with wholesales??

 

does anybody else know... and information would be great..

 

Pm topnotchwrx, he can help...but then again he hasn't jumped in and said anything so I assume he doesn't wanna discuss this matter.

 

yeah thank you.. well hopefully he will jump in and give me some info...

 

#1 Get a business liscence
#2 Get a fictitious business name
#3 You have to place an ad in yellow pages or something of that sort <-- this is kinda the thing that shows them you aren't just for getting hookups for you and your friends
#4 Get a business bank account. Checking a must and credit if you want
#5 Get a resale liscence
#6 Go out, sell stuff, and report back with your results
