Disclaimer
You must be very keen to run this business. As a starter, you can either have a dead stock or fail to identify quality products.
Therefore, you need to identify a veteran in this area so that you can go shop together. Most wholesalers will guide you step by step since they want you to become their customer.
Note that all these mali mali products you can’t get in one shop. I have only given you a few as a guide. It is not also possible to learn about these products in one day. As you progress in the business, you’ll keep on learning.
For instance, cosmetics, utensils, clothes, stationery, handbags, diapers, etc. you can’t get them in one shop. The good thing about this business is that most commodities retail from as low as Kshs. 20. This means you can sell to almost everyone.
