Need help with finding long term suppliers

Maiwand - You're going to have to target scrap yards and recyclers themselves...places that accumulate these. Also you will have to offer substantially more than what they are already getting out of their scrap. Plus, you will more than likely have to pay upfront. Places that deal in large volumes already have a system in place to sell the scrap, so there has to be a reason to change. You should be willing to pay on delivery for the material especially since this company is out of the country. If you are wanting to pay for the material some time after it arrives at the company you are working for, you are essentially asking the seller to extend you a line of credit. Why would they do this?

You are right. I am thinking that once I get a steady income coming in. Then I will go ahead and start the business on my own and pay them. Although I don't know if I would pay cash since I would not be able to put it as a tax deductible or can I. I am getting ahead of myself, but I get what you are saying. Why would they do business internationally when they could do it locally.

I started doing some searching and behold something that I found out. I think I might be setting myself up as the 3rd person in this scenario as I have been trying to find a supplier and buyer for a person without getting paid. I am going to go ask for some type of payment for my time or I will just come back here and set up a deal with one of the bigger companies to get some sort of compensation.

Thanks everyone I didn't want to be a free loader, so here I will share the guide with you.
