Hi everyone. Please I need helpful information and advice from anyone involved in uk used clothes importation business because I have someone in the uk who wants to engage in it, while I assist to do necessary groundwork in Nigeria.

1. How to source quality and reliable wholesale suppliers and where they are located in the uk.

2. To test the viability of the business, wants to start small. What is the minimum quantity from suppliers and cost, also best way to ship.

3. Will the goods be sent to Cotonou or direct to Nigeria apparently used clothes are banned in Nigeria.

4. How long will it take to wholesale a bale considering the quality and being a newcomer in the business.

Every information and help you can offer would be appreciated and if there is anything I haven't covered or should know please point that out. Thanks
