I recently went to a mobile electronic installation and fabrication school, where i also learned custom upholstery. i live in an area that only has two small shops within 45 minutes of each other. neither of them are hiring right now, so to make some income, i decided to start my own "shop" on my property. i'm almost done with all the required paperwork, but i'm curious as to what the best way to get products to sell and install. any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

You need to identify the distributors in your area for the brands you want to sell and contact them to see if they are able to contract with you. If there are already shops in your area selling the same brands you may be out of luck. You will need your retail license, good credit and usually a minimum purchase amount is required.
