It depends if you need a premise if you have a strong reputation you could get stock on 30 days + credit while taking payment for items before shipping.You could juggle suppliers and not need a penny if you sell the item before buying it and ship it from source to source straight away.

It will all depend on many factors like premises you own and premises you wish to have, workforce, legal formalities of your country etc.

hi there.
I am an importer and wholesale seller.
A few things you will need money for straight away...
Stock,I dont think anyone will give you credit terms without a trading history with them first.
Then you will have to pay freight, from Origin to destination.
Then you will have import duties, customs clearnace and gst.
You will then need to pay for a freight forwarder.
You will then need somewhere to store your goods.
Unless you are buying products in bulk (like a 20'shipping container) it is a very hard way to make money.
If you buy small amounts, the freight will kill your margin, it is hard to compete with larger buyers.

Hope this helps.
*Gratutious plug...*
You are also welcome to contact me about buying smaller lots at a very competitive wholesale price, stock already in Australia, you just pay freight to you then.

Cheers,

Jamie
