    Decent jewellery wholesaler

    I have previously used Bedazzled. Many of their pieces are of great quality and inexpensive but you get the odd dud. Can I ask though, if your partner is really into jewellery, could she not come up with her own line? The problem with bedazzled and the like is that they're the middle man, you...

    Wedding Dresses Makers looking for retailers. Any advice?

    Hi, from experience you will not get shops to buy from a catalogue/images unless you're a reputable company having been around for years. Obviously its easy for you to say they're great quality having seen them, but you have to be careful for distance selling laws. Eg. If I bought samples from...

    Home Bridal Shop - questions for ladies!

    I agree with deniser, and would like to add that by avoiding paying rates and all bills associated with a business, makes you look very untrustworthy to customers for a start. Unless you are trying to make a quick buck by stacking high and selling cheap this business is not viable without...

    Shop fittings needed...

    Fantastic! It's really scary though isn't it? and possibly one of the most expensive industries to get into!! They're steel and chrome plated... They do come in 32mm diam but that takes the price up massively. I could go wall to wall in one bit but I am putting a very large mirror in the...

    Right where to start.. Some advice needed for Novice

    Yes in their actual factory shop it will say for personal use, however if you went and spoke to someone or got in touch with their head office, you would probably manage to secure a deal on their seconds before they hit the outlet. In saying that if you're wanting to spend £2000 a month with...

    Shop fittings needed...

    Yes I have already got my antiques, dressers, desks and the like:). Now I really need wall fittings though and ebay is proving to be pretty rubbish at the moment. But like you said Strath, I need to be in the right place at the right time- just running out of it unfortunately:|

    Right where to start.. Some advice needed for Novice

    Well obviously it will really depend on the brands that you are going to approach, if just for example is was Barbour, they would probably want to know what your plans are for the business, and how you will 'show off' their brand. If you're only a new company how will you get the word out there...

    Right where to start.. Some advice needed for Novice

    Hi there, I'm not much of an expert either however I am opening my own store at the beginning of March. When I decided what I wanted to sell, I worked out my financial situation so I had a good grounding to start from. Then work out how much you can afford to spend on different brands...

    Shop fittings needed...

    Hi! I am opening a new Bridal store soon and need to find some good quality fittings at a relatively low cost. With so many clothing stores having shut down I hoped to get hold of some liquidation shop fittings, but have really struggled to find anything. Does anyone know of any websites...
