Starting a Wholesale Buying Business: A Beginner's Roadmap
For new entrepreneurs: how to start buying wholesale candy and snacks and resell at a profit.
Plenty of our long-term customers started with no retail experience at all. Brandon K. has used Nubani as his primary income for the last five years and reports about 200% return on his original pallet investment. Mohammed Ali turned wholesale buying into a full-time business after years of looking for the right side venture. Judy P. built a successful reseller operation just on the variety of merchandise we carry.
If you are starting from scratch, the path is straightforward. First, register your business and apply for a FEIN. Second, get a Tax-Free / Reseller Certificate from your state — this is required to buy wholesale anywhere. Third, identify your channel: flea market, online resale, Amazon, eBay, dollar-store wholesale, or a retail storefront.
Once paperwork is in order, submit our customer application. Approval is typically 1–2 business days. Place a starter order at our $1,000 minimum, mix it across candy and snacks, and lean on closeouts for the highest-margin items.
The single best piece of advice from our long-term resellers: stay close to your sales rep, get on the closeout deals list, and move fast when something good comes through.
