Buying Wholesale
Buying wholesale organic essential oils and herbs, in most cases, will require that you have a tax number and possibly a business license. It is easy to get a tax number. You can apply for one online at the IRS website. Business licensing is done through your state. The Small Business Administration has a list of websites for each state where you can get the information you need to operate your business legally.
Purchasing Details
Often wholesale suppliers will have a minimum order. This amount will vary from supplier to supplier and can be as little as $50 to as much as $500 or more. Some companies will require a minimum purchase for your first order only.
Quantity discounts are also available from some wholesalers. This means that your savings are based on how much you buy. Small orders may only save you about 10 percent off retail, while larger orders may save you 40 percent or more.
Payment terms may also be offered. Typically, you will need to have your credit checked before you are allowed payment terms. You may be allowed an account where your payment is due 30 days after you receive your order. Cash On Delivery (COD) terms may also be available.
Go Organic for Quality Results
The above companies are dedicated to providing you with high quality organic products to help you start or maintain a business, whether it is a small, home-based business or a large one. Buying your wholesale products organic assures they are free of potentially toxic pesticides and fertilizers and offer the healthiest, purest results possible.
