OK, my girlfriend’s father is in China and has access to products that he wants to export to me. I am planning on starting the business as an internet retail shop in the beginning, allowing me to do it part-time (I have another job that pays well). The products could be electronics, medical supplies, etc. (Not pills or anything like that). Does anyone have any ideas on what i may need to start the business in Delaware, the state i will do business from? Think of it from the importing side. He would deal with the exporting aspect.
Thanks.
I own an electronics company and import mp3 players and phones from Hong Kong and China on a monthly basis. You will need startup capital and warehousing space if he will not “front” you the product. Use a garage if youre not moving a lot of product to start with. Starting a company is the hard part… but once you get the ball rolling, maintaining it can be a breeze with enough hard work and business ethic involved. You will also need to set up a website… check out http://www.hostgumbo.com when you are ready to choose a host. It is a comparison of the top 10 hosts in the business. Good luck. Feel free to email me anytime

Well,not to much familiar on the ideas in that state,but i do have information that might be needed to market it online if you need the help. Don’t worry it is legit, https://crm.infusionsoft.com/go/infs/Consultant843/.
Due to the fact that Chinese mainly use prison labor as slave labor to manufacture most of those products, it is illegal to buy from them.
However places like Walmart get around this law by buying from exporters who must buy and ship the items themselves.
That way, technically, they are not buying from a slave trader.
