starting a distribution company
« on: May 13, 2014, 11:01:21 PM »
So I live abroad in Guangzhou, China for the last year. Dope skate scene a long with all the spots we've seen in skate media. Good shop and good people. I noticed though there a few mainstream brands that are highly available and pretty much saturate the market. I'd like to start a way to get more variety of products here. I know that some shops get from smaller distributors which will provide shops with a few brands under one roof. How would I go about starting one? I was hoping shop/industry people can help with some advice. Thanks!

This isn't any help but I have always wondered how that works. Do the distributors buy from the companies just like anybody else? Is it consigned? How do they make margin selling at wholesale prices?
