How to Buy Candles Wholesale With No Minimum
Buying candles wholesale with no minimum order requirement simply requires doing a little research to obtain the proper licenses and suppliers. You must first obtain a business license and reseller's permit (also known as a seller's permit) to purchase candles wholesale, but sometimes suppliers will sell directly to the public at wholesale prices. In this case, you do not need a business license or reseller's permit.
