Don't sell the old ladies short. See the thread GOLD I Built A Worldwide Business From Broke.I do not plan on using a company in China. After thought, for a business to keep its supply chain tight and not worry about errors in it, it is best to have it as close as possible. Just like rentals it seems; if the house is beside you, you are more likely to be successful with managing it. This way I can drive to the facility if need be and be more personable in my networking. I do not know how many old ladies I will eventually need, but during my 12 month provisional period I might as well start up with a couple in the bag (get it?) to handle the initial orders, while I negotiate with manufacturers on prices for bulk orders if more sales come through.
@Carol Jones has built a great business with high volume production using such workers and also ones with disabilities. I have done likewise. Your supply chain will be secure and you are less likely to encounter copycats working for a manufacturer, whether in the USA or not.
