Our ultimate selling guide for small businesses

We have decided to start the new year by introducing the ultimate selling guide for small businesses. Wholesale Clearance UK is a family firm, and we recognise the complexities, pressures and challenges of running a small business. Our Blog celebrates its sixth birthday later this year, and in that time we’ve written on every subject we can think of. Reflecting back on what we’ve covered, we decided to put together this ultimate selling guide for small business.

What this ultimate selling guide for small businesses sets out to do, is make it easy for you to find the blogs most useful to you. Here you’ll find blogs about how to sell, where to sell, when to sell and what to sell, along with buying guides and our hugely popular product guides. We’ve included all the blogs about starting a business if you’ve yet to make that jump, as well as all of our eBay guides, and of course our popular ‘just for fun’ blogs.

All you have to do is read through the list and click on the links, and the link will take you to the relevant page. Enjoy!

Do your research: How do you determine whether or not an item is worth selling and how much to sell it for? Obviously, you want to have as little investment in an item as possible and sell for the highest amount the market will allow. To get a good idea of how to price your item, you will need to do your research. Don’t make the mistake of looking at just the items listed for sale. Anyone can place any price on any item, so to get an accurate and realistic amount to price for the item you are researching, you will need to search only those items that actually have sold. You will soon see a range of prices for which you can realistically expect to sell your item. To sell fast, price at the lower end of the previously sold items. If you are willing and able to wait a bit for your item to sell, you can price at the higher end of the spectrum.
