I live in a developing country where most of its income comes from export.Throughout the years, I have made connections with many people from the textile and leather industries. Mostly factory owners but also engineers and merchandisers etc. Many of my childhood friends have also moved into these industries. I have excellent personal relationships with people who understand how all the processes, such as production, sampling, quality assurance, logistics and customs etc., work.In the past, I have dabbled a little bit with e-commerce. I went to designers, sourced raw materials, took them to factories and manufactured the final products. One was a shoe similar to this, and one was a James Bond suede jacket. The factories are capable of manufacturing much more complex designs.A shoe or a jacket like that sells for more than 300$ in first world countries. Sometimes much, much more than that. But it takes a lot less to produce and ship from where I am. Using my connections, I can build from specs, send samples and export abroad at an excellent price (depending on the amount).I was wondering if this would be a viable business option and if I should go for it. People here are already doing it. But I think that the connections I have will give me an edge over many of these export broker businesses. I can provide excellent communication since most people here don't speak English very well, reasonable prices, fast times and effortless transactions on the buyer's part. I say this with confidence because I have very closely watched how others do it. I can custom make pieces individually and ship them directly to customers (similar to how dropshipping works), but I'm thinking more in bulk as that would be better for me. I can deal with not only ready-made products but also raw materials like cowhide and fabric. see hubwealthy.com/wealthy
