Hello guys!
I have a problem I wanted to share with everybody here, see if theres any advice you can give me.
Ok, so I want to buy a small quantity of shirts, lets say 20-50; to test the market. See if its a good desicion to start a business in my area or not.
Something simple and personal, no rush.
Problem is I cant buy good quality TShirts in my country, cuz all they sell 'round here is Hanes, Gildan or Fruit of the Loom (which are all cool, but I want something more "fashionable" and soft)...
So I turn to my friend, the Internet...
but on the internet everybody asks for a TAX ID NUMBER or something of the like or else they wont even let me peek at the prices.
Now, in my country (Puerto Rico), I have to register my bussiness and pay if I want a tax ID #, not only that, but I have to tell the IRS every year how much money I made with my "company"...which hasnt even started.
And this complicates everything to me.
I just want to buy TShirts in peace :_(
Why do sites bully me into giving them a Tax ID #?....I actually imagine the answer for this...but what I really want to know is if there is any wholesaler out there that just accepts my money and doesnt ask for a tax id #
I mean...What if I was a Kindergarden Teacher who wants to buy 100 good quality shirts for my Field Day? Do I have to register a company too?
Help!
