    Hi allinthebiz, great questions!

    1. Depending on what you are selling, this could be a great way to eliminate fees of the "middle man" and sell products directly to your customers.
    2. It is advisable that you obtain licenses as this will show your customers that you are legitimate.
    3. This depends on what product you are selling, who you are selling it to, where you are selling it, among many other variables.
    4. We own a business consulting business that provides businesses with a plan for starting/growing.
    5. This could be helpful if there are areas of expertise that you will need aid in.

    We would love to provide you guidance and detailed plans for starting and growing your business! Feel free to reach out if you would like to learn more and are interested in our product.
