A fair point but mine is also still valid. To setup any business the basic elements must be covered regardless. If he is intending on setting up a shop he's in for even more of a treat. You go into purchasing stock, stock depreciation, sercure storage, if its online the shop needs to be build and maintained, updated, if its a physical outlet you need to outfit internally/externally. Theres just so much more to setting up a business. Unfortunately because the paintball community is made up of an ever younger population they seem to think these gaps in the market are there for the taking but lack the training and maturity to fill them successfully.Does this only mean he's looking to open a site - he might be wanting to open a shop "selling" paintball stuff..

Thanks guys some great advice here.
Yes I know you go to the trade thanks for that insight
I was looking to open a paintball store, (shop) not a site for playing paintball.
I know all the regular paintballing shops but I'm looking for somewhere I can go and buy trade like a warehouse wholesalers as such.
thanks guy

You need to speak to the manufacturers and dealers themselves in that case.
You also need to find yourself a nice little unique selling point, whether that be {a} certain product(s) you can supply; the way in which you supply it; or another such service you can offer.
Whatever you do however, if the only reason you are wishing to start a company is to supply yourself with cheap kit, then really, don't bother; as you are going into it for all the wrong reasons!
You also need to decide (or investigate) if you will be opening into a relatively saturated market (which I fear you would) - Like fish said - if you have a great USP then great - if not think carefully...
No I don't want to supply myself with just cheap kit. I can do that buy buying off American site's.
I love playing paintball and is very much unappreciated over here in the Uk as in America and other places, I want to start up a shop that people can come to and get good FRIENDLY ADVISE and help, without having to feel like one of the outsiders that don't play everyday like. Paintballer's are like skateboarder they have their own little community and if you dont look or talk the part they don't want you in. AND THAT'S HOW MOST OF THE PAINT BALLING SHOPs TREAT NEWCOMERS or people they don't know.
I deal with some guys already but they all seem to just keep it all for them self which is understandable at the end of the day as they don't somebody new coming in and taking sales away from them Which i don't want to do
