mind share what is ur plan. i started off without planning much, then i change along the way. its very hard just to guess the future. i started off with importing small quantity of gummies from germany. high cost. low margin. not easy sell as ppl dunno wat it is. like selling char koay teow in germany. then i added mineral water (best selling and best profit 150%). kacang and chupa chups lolipops. btw i got from supplier. but buy in bulk. btw, i don think u r really serious to get urself into this business yet. u need to research urself. if u need any info u can pm me. i got most suppliers now. (all brand u find in supermarkets)

my business module now is selling on modified motor with carrier behind. i go from places to places after work.

Go to AliBaba.com to look for suppliers, that's where I get mine.

Not to be bias.. I am quite skeptical on Alibaba.com
Can they really be trusted? As in product quality wise

may i know where is your location. most branded stuff have agents alrdy. unless u want try to get less popular one like tienming or sunbeans, dickfield

u can try ask socma, kheesan or delfi or dksh (imported brands agents).

as distributor, u have to exchange 1=1 for damage, expired.my case i take alot chupa chups becos even if i can sell  and they expired, i can exchange for new.

my kes, dhl frm germany. product cost 30euro, 42euro for freight. 2kg

Added on February 28, 2011, 5:24 pmfyi local distributor is using van sales method. u get urself a van. put all ur stuffs. u just sell anywhere u go. cash term.

actually i m almost to start my own business which is fresh juice cum fruit stall (look modern, tidy,clean and hygien). but i m facing some problem while really thinking of it.

1) capital - almost 40k - 50k
2) hands on experience and knowledge
3) rental - i found somewhere around puchong jaya, but the business need limited space and not the whole lot. very hard to get hald lot. even get but the location not so attractive. (also look before ss2(rental terible),kuchai lama (full).
4) partner - 1 need somebody trusted to share with me
my friend told me once u have confidence on your own business just go for it. think too much will cause you demotivated.

any advice for me for the above problem?

hi guys im interested in doing some trading. i have about 10k on hand. my idea is to do a 1 off trade on something just to grow my 10k.
say i buy something at 10k and sell it at 12 k.
my question is what is a good thing to trade according to my budget.

interesting... was thinking about it for awhile.. but not sure who would want to sell to me at cheaper price so that i can sell it higher for a profit. since im not a dealer.

any one plant dragon fruit here? wondering how is the margin? I have a 10acres land in sarawak, feel like to do something on it and fren said it is too small for oil palm which not enough to cover the cost is that true? and so i am wondering maybe i should plant dragon fruit insteed? thx for the advice.

Car Accessories. Gifts. etc etc.
Dragon fruit are hard to plant as there are many disease in our climate. Not worth it in my opinion.

Consider planting other type of agriculture or go for swiftlet farming or fish farming.
