Hello Fastlaners,
Im currently working on selling an ayervedic supplement that I've been researching for about 2 months now. My goal is to sell to local middle eastern shops and also make it available online through a shopify store.
I've done some research in my local area and every shop I've visited, they've had the cheap possibly fake versions of my product. I've also come across situation where the shops carry only 1 version of the product or are always out. Which means they are either not stocking fast enough or they are always running out. Currently have a sample of my product and I want to go and provide the owners of the shops with a presentation on the purity and benefits of the product in its real state. Its has a certificate of analysis to prove its purtity as well as its source of cultivation.
All said and done laid out sounds simple. The roadblock im having (possibly just a mental road block) is my uncertainty on whether Ill need specific licences or wholesale certifications to provide the shops with the product. I know specific stores like wholefoods,nugget,sprouts and other natural foods stores have reqiurements in order to put a product on the shelves.
I live in california so im sure there is some license or cert thats needed. Just not sure.
So my questions are
does anyone in here have experience putting a product on a shelve of a grocery store or small shop?
What did they ask for in order to have your product on the shelf?
Are there any requirements or certifications prior to selling or distributing?
I currently have an LLC from my personal training buisness can I sell product through this same LLC or will I need to create another LLC for the product?
Some shops have language barriers specifically Urdu, how did you over come this?
I dont mind looking like an idiot in front of the shop owners becuase I get its a part of learning but Id like to minimize the amount the volume of idiocy.
Any advice or Feedback is appreciated.
Thank You for taking the time to read this.
