How do I become an authorized reseller of different electronic devices, i.e. apple, creative, sony, etc...?

Question

I would like to start a retail business, but I know (pretty much) nothing at this point. Any advice would be great. Thanks!

Answer 1

it is likely to be different for each company you want to partner with. you might want to check their websites for info or contact the company directly.

FYI - they are not likely to want to deal with a "small operator" so you will want to make sure that you demonstrate your ability to generate significant sales for them or they may not want to invest in you as a channel for their product. you will also want to show them that you are a "real" company with professional website, dun & bradstreet number, etc. and be clear on how you expect to sell either via online, physical outlet, etc. another possible avenue is to partner with another organization that is already a reseller and see how you could work together. good luck!
