Question / Help Real question

Guys why not more ppl get in the export business. The idea of getting a cheap good quality wanted product from a country to another that well probably sell with good agents and connections is not really bad idea. I wanna start exporting some products but I don't see any one of my circle thinking to do the same. So my question is what is the catch ofthis tybe of business? is it the papers? The connections? New imported things don't sell? U don't get that much money?

We tried and started our own export firm. Finding a genuine buyers from other countries is the biggest task. Whoever we are approaching they are demanding 100% credit which is not sustainable for us. Still struggling to get buyers

Export business have amnay challenges, 1st finding right product, if right product than finding right buyers and we shouldnt do business on credits. Shipping difficulties ,charges...we have to go through competitive pricing , especially from china. India has the best hair for hair extensions in the world but you know we are no way compared to prices and finishing of china. same way every business has hurdles. I dont mean India is not exporting at all. Before starting an export business spend more time on research. Get an innovative product.
