Before we source, you’d better know exactly what products you need, how much you need, who you’re targeting to sell to, where, etc.

Step 2: Set Your Budget

Based on your needs, you can then expect the profit you wish to make, and next you can roughly calculate your budget. It’s a good idea to roughly allocate the cost of your products, shipping and payment to China Sourcing Agent. It is not necessary to be too precise, as it is not uncommon to go over your original budget.

Step 3: Choose the Type of China Sourcing Agent

There are several types of Sourcing Agents, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

The first type is a single sourcing agent that works independently. They can establish a very personal relationship with you, but may not have as many resources as a larger company. The second type is a sourcing company that employs multiple sourcing agents with different product focuses. They usually have a lot of sourcing staff and a large network of suppliers, so they can be a little more expensive. The third type is a full-service sourcing and logistics company.

Step 5: Verify the China Sourcing Agent

Don’t blindly trust people who claim they are the “best China sourcing agent”. You can chat with them, ask them some questions, and then determine if they are reliable. You need to know about business licenses, locations, experience and qualifications, quality control, rates, etc. The more detailed this information is, the better (provided you show a strong interest in sourcing).

Step 6: Discuss Purchasing Plans and Prices

When you decide to work with a China Sourcing Agent, you’d better ask them about their prices and payment methods. After that, you can negotiate with them for a final discounted price. If they are responsible for shipping, you need to know how much the product, sourcing and shipping costs are respectively. This way you can avoid some ambiguous costs.
