How about a Distribution Company?

[Benjaminjhs]

Hello, I'm new to the forum so I'll start this post by introducing myself!
My name is Benjamin, I am 22 years old and I live in Norway.
I have a two-year business degree in Retail Management, and my dream and ultimately what I am going to do is building my own business.

I have, like most of you, many business ideas. One day it's this, then there's that...
Obviously, that won't get me anywhere.

So now that we got that out of the way - let's cut to the chase.

So what I've been thinking about lately is a Distribution Company. Why? Because nowadays I see 'everyone' chasing the e-commerce, wanting to build big businesses.
To me, this seems like it is a growing market for the Distribution Companies that can provide value.

Ultimately the question is whether this opens a market for new Distribution Companies to arise or not, your thoughts on this matter.
Furthermore, does Alibaba/Aliexpress stand in the way for this or not?

Feel free to discuss, and be sure to bring honest replies if you think I am on the wrong track somehow.
