If you did not consider this when you spoke with your potential distributors, now is the time to decide what styles and designers appeal to you. Once deciding, be sure to open business accounts with the suppliers that will provide you with the merchandise you need to obtain before opening the virtual or actual doors for your business.
With your suppliers on board, your location and storage facilities determined, your permits obtained and your stock procured, you are ready to open your clothing business. Lastly, you must promote your new career to potential customers to ensure the long-term viability of your startup.
