Forums: Discussions for entrepreneurs and small business.

I am currently in the beginning phases of establishing a business directory for Manufactures, Wholesales, and Suppliers and I was wondering what is the best way to gather these businesses into one database. My goal is to have suppliers and their products listed on the www.rollista.com website. Any suggestions?

Thomasnet is great.  I would really like to find a Thomasnet that focused on more of a consumer product selection.  There appears to be many that are tied to dropshipping services, but I am more interested in locating good quality wholesalers that I can develop a relationship with, rather than relying on a middleman service that.   Again, I have seen many, but I would like a recommendation that could help me zero in on the best services and avoid the poor and/or mediocre.  Thank you!

Be careful with Alibaba, there were some postings about Alibaba so you may want to search through and read before you sign up.
