Ready to sell

I have a consumer product that is ready for production and sale. I would like to get it out to the public but don`t know where to start. I do not have a trademark or patent. Is it safe for me to start selling without these? Please help

Like the above poster, you need to probably do more research as well as "grunt" work such as contacting manufacturers and distributors. With the working prototypes, you may find some success in attending relevant trade shows.
Realize that inventing is just like running a business. It takes time, research and due diligence.
Please check out the below resources, and hopefully that gets you going in the right direction.
Thanks!
