We have explained the steps in detail below. 

Starting a Clothing Business – What Do You Need

It is important to have an idea and passion. What kind of clothes do you want to sell? And also, you will need the passion to keep pushing and hustling when things get tough in your business. Find out where your idea and passion lie -  do you want to sell cotton sarees, designer cotton kurtis, or something else altogether? 

One of the quickest ways to figure it out is by looking for inspiration around you. But, first, find out what is not available around your home. For example, if there aren’t any stores selling wholesale sarees from Surat, that could be your foundation. 

Decide Your Business Structure 

The fastest and easiest way to start and grow your clothing business is by running it as a sole trader. It is flexible and requires very limited documentation to get going. Make sure you trademark your brand name simultaneously. 

Have a Dedicated Space 

Dedicate a corner of your house or a room where you can start your business – it should have good lighting, ventilation, seating arrangements for customers, racks to store, and a computer and printer for billing and invoicing. 

Find a Sarees and Kurti Wholesaler 

Make a list of manufacturers who produce the clothing type you want to sell. For example, if it is kurtis and sarees, find which manufacturer ships wholesale designer kurtis online in India directly to the customers. This is called drop shipping, which is very common today. However, you can also source clothes from companies and set up a small store at home. If possible, find an existing business line that already has a brand name and is willing to help you set up a franchise business. For example, AKS-Clothing has helped many home-based business owners. You can find their wholesale kurtis catalogue online and become a wholesaler on their website.

Create Payment Mode

You’ll need to set up an online payment option like UPI, NEFT, or Credit Card Payment via Merchant account for accepting payments from customers across India. After the pandemic, people have started to prefer online transactions to cash. So, having Gpay, PayTM, Phone Pay, or even WhatsApp Payment will help you engage more customers. 

Market Your Business

Marketing and promotion are quite crucial for business growth. And the best place to begin is the internet, as most of your niche customers are active on Google, Instagram, Pinterest, and Facebook.
