Business Plan: Drop Shipping Resource Platform

Overview:

Our business idea is to create a platform that offers free drop shipping resources, guides, and tips for beginners who want to start their own drop shipping business without a large initial investment. Drop shipping is a popular e-commerce business model where the seller does not keep the products in stock but instead transfers customer orders and shipment details to the manufacturer, another retailer, or a wholesaler, who then ships the goods directly to the customer.

Target Market:

Our target market includes individuals who are interested in starting an online business, particularly those who are looking for a low-cost and low-risk way to get started. We will focus on beginners and first-time entrepreneurs who may not have a lot of capital to invest in traditional inventory-based businesses.
