You dont need to spend a penny to find decent wholesalers, its surprising how easy it can be. There are always trade fairs full of wholesalers in all sectors.

I used to go to the Spring and Autumn Fair, to source my suppliers.

Yeah I have been to a couple of these but suppliers always seem to not want to supply to me without a registered company and website etc.

Have you found this to be different?

The main thing is not to ask for a credit account initially, then they are much more keen to trade with you, a fairly decent initial order with payment is usually enough to get them to drop their draconian rules.

Yeah i thought as much but was worried about saying that I am planning to sell things on eBay, some of these companies cane be brand protective. Understandable I guess.
