How to become an independent distributor?

There are no education requirements to start your career as an independent distributor, but most are self-employed independent contractors, so a bachelor’s degree in business, marketing, or a related field provides you with the necessary skills to run a business. You need a business license to operate legally in your state, and companies may ask you for proof of your business license or resale tax certificate. Research the industry you wish to enter and learn about the products offered. Apply to the manufacturer to become an independent distributor. Once accepted, keep up with the different products and inventory to make sure your buyers have the merchandise they need.
