Bulk buying for small businesses: what to check first

Buying in bulk can lower your costs. Here is what to check before you place a large order.

Buying in larger quantities usually lowers the price of each item. A large order also ties up more money, so check a few things first.

Before you order

  • Does it sell? Start with products you already know your customers buy.
  • Can you store it? Plan where the goods will go when they arrive.
  • Is the quality the same every time? Ask for a sample and compare it with what arrives.
  • What is the full cost? Add shipping and any other charges to the product price, so you compare like with like.

Everyday consumables

Items like bin bags, microfibre cloths, disposable gloves and disposable napkins are used up quickly. Steady supply matters as much as price. See our consumables supply.
