How do I start reselling wholesale garments from Surat? What documents do I need?

Starting a reseller business from Surat wholesale catalogs is one of the most common small business models in India:

1. Legal setup: Get GST registration (free, via gst.gov.in) if expected annual turnover is above ₹20 lakhs. Below that you can operate informally but a GST number helps with suppliers and platforms.
2. Choose your niche: Start with 2–3 categories (e.g., cotton kurtis + co-ord sets). Don't try to carry everything immediately.
3. Source sample catalogs: Order 2–4 catalog sets from WholesaleCatalogz.com. Test quality before committing to bulk.
4. Choose your sales channel: Instagram boutique, WhatsApp reselling groups, local shop, or online marketplaces (Meesho, Glowroad).
5. Set your margins: Standard retail markup on wholesale ethnic wear is 40–80%. Kurtis bought at ₹280 typically retail at ₹450–₹550.
