Help me finding verified distributor
Hey there! I hope you're doing well. I wanted to reach out because I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with my new wholesale business. I've been trying to find verified distributors to sell on Amazon, but I haven't had any luck finding ones that Amazon accepts their invoices to help me ungate. Do you happen to know of any verified distributors that I could look into? I would really appreciate your help. I'm feeling a bit anxious about getting started, so any guidance you can provide would be amazing. Thank you so much!

Yes I do. But I'm not going to share what we've worked years to develop. If you spend some time in the forums you'll see others suggest that you find a niche that you understand and then go to the manufacturer's and ask if you can sell on Amazon. I've also heard that ASD in Las Vegas can be a great place to find suppliers. Never been so I have no idea if those suppliers would be good for selling on Amazon or not.
Also, you could contact your local Small Business Administration (SBA) and take some classes, get a mentor, etc on running a business.

" I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with my new wholesale business."
And I am feeling VERY confused by your post.
There appears to be a language issue since you are looking for a DISTRIBUTOR (which is a wholesale source) to supply your wholesale business.
If you want to be a WHOLESALE business you need to get the product from the BRAND in LARGE quantities -- tens of thousands of dollars most likely if it is a major brand.
I'm going to guess that you want a wholesale source for your RETAIL business-- selling on Amazon, in a store, or on other sites.
Contact the BRAND and see if they sell direct and what purchase requirements are. Or, they will refer you to their wholesale dealers for purchasing the products.
The FIRST thing most will ask for is a business license and a Tax Exempt number with the state.
MOST of my suppliers have minimum order requirements ranging from under $500 to over $2000 for an order.
It sounds like you are NOT prepared for whatever business you are trying to establish at this time.
