Dealing with Wholesalers

Hi,

Any person who is wishing to start-up a business generally comes up with the question, how can I deal with a wholesaler as I am not a company.

The answer is simple, you can deal with a wholesaler provided you present yourself as a trader. When I say trader I mean tell them that you are a sole trader and provide them with your business name and details. If you are still not sure then please do ask me for further help.

UK Wholesale Scene

We all know how ebay has become so popular in the past couple of years and so many people have jumped onto the band wagon of making money on ebay and similar auction sites.

I have also sold on ebay and one of the most difficult things I observed was how to locate wholesalers in UK. In the process of increasing my knowledge about the wholesale scene in UK I have managed to establish a UK Wholesalers directory in UK (http://www.uk-wholesaler.co.uk)

In the next few posts I will be sharing my experiences and knowledge about how ebay works and what kind of items sell best on ebay. Additionally I will also throw more light on my business and how you can benefit from it.

New Wholesale and Wholesalers Directory

A great new Wholesalers Directory

Another great directory of wholesalers that can help people who are constantly looking for new wholesalers and wholesale suppliers.

The website can be found at
Wholesalers and Wholesale Directory - http://www.wholesalersdir.com/

It is indeed very difficult to locate decent and authentic wholesalers and wholesale sources on the net. The primary reason is that most of the real wholesalers do not have online presence or if they do they do not rank well on search engines. We all know by experience that when looking for information on search engines a visitor generally tends to go no further than the second or the third page. This directly effects their search for locating the wholesalers that these people need for their business. Visiting chambers of commerce and trade exhibitions is not everyone's cup of tea.

So when the question comes that is it worth signing up to these directories? In my opinion most definitely YES as information gathering is not as easy as it sounds and finding all of it under one umbrella is much better than getting yourself drenched in the rain.

Many new Wholesale information sources and Wholesalers directories will be added to this blog in the coming months. Please bookmark it to make sure that you are one of the first people to take advantage of it.

Wishing everyone the best of luck!

How to Detect Fraudulent Wholesalers and Companies?

Recently there has been an influx of fraudulent wholesalers and dubious bulk discount stores on the net. This article concentrates on how to detect such companies and what necessary checks must be carried out before investing in any business venture.
To detect whether the wholesaler or the company, being dealt with is genuine or not, these checks must be considered.

- A professionally designed website with a good layout is not an indicator that the business is genuine. A lot of wholesalers do not have great looking sites but are registered and authentic businesses. Never EVER get convinced by the design of the site.
- Ensure that the wholesaler accepts payments via credit/debit cards and other online payment methods like paypal, nochex etc. If the company ask you to wire (BACS) money directly into their account then avoid trading with them as most definitely they are scamming you. Card payments in most cases can be easily traced and charged back whereas with money transfers, once the funds have left your account, they are gone forever.
- Try to talk to a representative of the company on the phone, it is always nice to talk to someone and clear your doubts.
- Visit their contact page and look for their contact/postal address. Try to determine whether it is a physical postal address or just a mailbox. If it’s a mailbox, find out why the wholesaler doesn’t have a proper postal address and where do they actually trade from?
- Request to visit their warehouse or trading office, even if there is no specific intention of doing so. Any fraudulent company would be hesitant to let you visit their premises.
- Visit the Companies Database provided by governmental bodies such as the one in UK: www.companieshouse.gov.uk and use their search index to determine whether the company is registered with them or not. Sole traders do not have to register and as result this would only serve as a secondary check but none the less will definitely help to clear any doubts.
Performing these checks will most definitely help to differentiate a scam company from legitimate wholesalers. After all any business venture involves a number of risks and seeking professional help is always a better option than making decisions based instincts and feelings. For the creator of scams, only one thing can be said: Fraud in the end secures for its companions only repentance and shame.
