Try to find people to invest in your wholesale vitamin store to help you. Make sure you have enough parking at the location.
- Obtain a business license for your store. Each state is different, so you may need to obtain a license for your store from the county, city, or state, or all three.
- Find a supplier by looking online. You can also look for suppliers in your area. You need to purchase as many vitamins as you can to sell in your store. You will want a wide variety of them. Shop around and find the best prices for quality products.
- Set up your store. Display the vitamins in a logical order so they will be easy for people to find. Purchase vitamins in liquid and powder form and display them accordingly. Put out literature about the vitamins on the counter for people to read. Include information about what the vitamin is used for, the benefits of it, etc.
