Everything to Know About Reselling
Reselling is an individual or business that buys products, increases the price accordingly, and sells them for a profit. Resellers are the middlemen between manufacturers and customers.
In his article, Will Mitchell enumerated the four different types of resellers; the first is the distributor, who buys the products from the manufacturer and resells them to either a wholesaler or retailer. The second is the wholesaler, who then purchases the products from the distributor to resell them to a retail store. The third is the retailer, who buys the product from the wholesaler to resell to the customer.
Lastly, arbitrage, more commonly known as flipping, is where the customer finds good deals and sells the items for a small markup on any online marketplace. As the products transfer through the different resellers, the original product could accumulate more value through packaging or creating bundles and promos.
In online reselling, you can make money in four ways; retail arbitrage, private label, dropshipping, and wholesaling. Retail arbitrage is where you buy products in the clearance sale through retail stores and sell them online for a profit. In private label, you purchase lower quantities of products directly from the manufacturer, add your brand and packaging and sell them on places like Shopee and Lazada.
Dropshipping is entirely online, purchasing directly from manufacturers and selling them immediately without keeping them in inventory. While in wholesaling, the idea is to buy products in bulk and sell them through any online buy and sell platform.
Why Start Your Own Reselling Business at All?
Creating a resale business involves minimal risk because you will be selling products that already have a high demand. It is a popular method to make quick money and possibly kickstart your own business. It’s an easy way to a successful business venture if used as a stepping stone.
If you plan on starting your own reselling business, here are some things to consider. Do your research. Especially if you are selling a product of a known brand, never claim the product as your creation and claim to know the manufacturer of the brand.
Franchise Loans
A franchise loan is typically a loan that is utilized by those interested in starting a franchise of an existing brand.
Franchise loans are usually offered in banks and non-bank financial institutions (NBFI). An example of NBFI is franchisor financing, it’s where the franchisor provides the funding and terms for the franchisee. This makes it so that the franchisor and franchisee are able to have direct contact and communicate regarding the ongoing franchise.
