I love to fish with lures. I always thought about starting my own manufacturing business, but had an inkling in my mind that it won't be profitable because most fishermen buy from Bass Pro Shops, Cabela's and Dick's Sporting Goods. I'm a beginner with no money, so I could get a do it yourself lure kit and start handmaking my own lures, but how would I go about selling wholesale to retail companies when I'm not capable of manufacturing mass production of lures? Is there a way to ensure a large wholesale order from somebody? If I could get paid in advance, then I can buy these kits in bulk and make them for sale in my spare time, but without a paid order, I have no money to even get these kits in the first place. I would love to start my own lure business, but how could I create it without a paid order from a retail giant?
I have a degree in finance, but long story short, it's a useless credential for jobs, never mind my degree, I'm interested in owning my own lure production company so I can sell to retail giants for profit. I can't get a decent job with my degree. So I'm beginning to learn some web designing right now to become a freelance web developer, but this sounds like a Slowlaner's work since I'd only be in a local market with tech knowledge. My dream is owning a fishing lure business.
Does anyone have any advice on a small wholesale startup like me? I'm not about to get a bank loan or about to ask angel investors for money. I need a way to secure my first large wholesale order from a retail company with full payment so I can start making lures and sell wholesale to retailers. This would be a dream venture for me because I always wanted to do it. I can imagine owning a fishing lure manufacturing factory with my name on it with contracts to all major fishing goods stores in the country.
