- 1). Select a brand or brands of power chairs. Contact the specific companies and ask about their rates, wholesale prices and general information about their power chairs. Pick a company that has excellent profit potential. Start by doing an Internet search of "power chair."
- 2). Obtain storage space. Select whether you want to purchase or rent a warehouse or other storage space to keep your inventory. Some storage facilities can be expensive to rent, so keep this in mind when creating a budget.
- 3). Invest in vehicles. As a distributor, you will likely be responsible for the delivery and relocation of your power chair products. You will need a reliable van or truck suitable to transport more than one chair at a time. With this comes insurance and gas costs for your vehicles.
- 4). Locate clients and advertise. Seek investors who may be able to help you with start-up capital to order your first shipment of power chairs. Stock up on information on your power chairs, including catalogs, order forms, price lists and promotional materials that you can hand out to potential clients and retail stores. You should also take these materials to locations where you will likely find clients who need power chairs, such as nursing homes, assisted living facilities and hospitals.
