<h2>May 12, 2023,</h2><h2><br></h2><h2>One of the biggest challenges new businesses face is finding a good wholesale supplier. The company should not only possess what you need for your business but also be reliable and trustworthy.</h2><h2><br></h2><h2>The internet has become the main source of information, and it's actually the predominant way to find manufacturers, traders, or wholesalers. Today, if a company is not on the internet, it basically doesn't exist, right? However, there are still ways to find good trading partners offline, and you should not neglect them.</h2><h2><br></h2><h2>In this post, we provide a few good tips on how to search for wholesale providers online and offline and even say a couple of words on how to avoid scammers. Take this 5-minute read to upgrade your searching skills.</h2><h2><br></h2><h2>&nbsp;</h2><h2><br></h2><h2><br></h2><h2><br></h2><h2>Have you found the right product? Ask the manufacturer</h2><h2><br></h2><h2>If you've found the right product and know exactly who makes it, contact the manufacturer. Large companies usually have a list of their official distributors on their website. If the one you need doesn't offer the list, just check their contact page and give them a call or send them an email. They will be more than happy to oblige.</h2><h2><br></h2><h2>Also, you might want to try and get a direct supplier contract, thus skipping the middleman and saving quite a lot of money. However, most large producing companies usually have requirements for a high minimum order, which can be an obstacle for new and small businesses. But asking needs no pay.</h2><h2><br></h2><h2>When you sign a contract with the manufacturer, you get the real thing, fresh from the product line, and at the lowest price. This is why it's the first place we recommend looking in.</h2><h2><br></h2><h2>The internet, mighty</h2><h2><br></h2><h2>This one is so obvious that we're a little ashamed to put it on the list. Nowadays, you're just one specific inquiry away from all the suppliers in your area and on every continent. And still, you can miss a nice company only because Google doesn't consider it popular enough.</h2><h2><br></h2><h2>Google's search can be unfair to those who don't pay for advertising, and if a company can't afford it, its website will remain hidden somewhere on the third or fourth page of search results, and you know that nobody looks that far. So we recommend you try B2B marketplaces. They are a lot more convenient than clicking link after link in search results.</h2>
