im stuck at deciding whether I should be the manufacturer or retailer or both. I am going to use cars for an example to protect my business. I can manufacturer cars, so why would I want to sell to a retail store or distributor for a low wholesale price when I can just directly sell to customers for larger profit margin? I see most manufacturers say they only sell to businesses wholesale and not customers. Is it a bad idea for me the manufacturer, the source of the product, to sell to customers directly, not by wholesale though. Single products. Why go through the middle man and sell to them at wholesale price so they can make profit, when I can make more money selling myself.
