How to start a product business with little or no inventory?
Start a product business without buying inventory upfront
You don't need piles of cash to launch a product business
Most new entrepreneurs believe selling physical products means spending thousands on inventory before you’ve even made a single sale. It’s “just part of the cost,” right?
That thinking keeps so many would‑be business owners stuck. What if you don’t have the money to risk? What if you’re worried about being left with boxes of products you can’t sell?
The truth: you can launch a real product without risky bulk orders, expensive storage, or maxing out your credit card. You can sell first and pay for manufacturing later.
“I want to start something—but I can’t afford to risk thousands”
This is the #1 roadblock for most aspiring ecommerce founders. The upfront investment feels like a cliff you can’t climb.
- But what if you could start with just a sample?
- What if you could take orders before you even placed your first manufacturing run?
That’s exactly what we teach in our free 3‑day “How to Buy Australian Made” event.
It’s a method called Sample Selling, and it’s already helped everyday Australians land big orders, without the big risk.
I’m not a product designer. I don’t know how to make a prototype.
You don’t need to be. Most people who use this method aren’t designers at all.
We’ll walk you through how to:
- Create a small run or even DIY a sample (like the mother‑daughter duo who landed a 5,000‑unit order)
- Get affordable outsourced designs for more complex products (like 3D drawings under $100)
- Skip warehouses and factories in favour of a smart, low‑risk starting point
What if I don’t want to sell direct to consumers?
Sample Selling works just as well for wholesale and B2B, sometimes even better.
We’ll show you how to pitch to retailers, corporate buyers, and even government departments who often pay upfront.
Whether you want to build your own brand, sell in bulk, or test a new product idea without overcommitting, this method lets you move forward with confidence.
What if you could sell your product before you ever paid to make it?
It sounds impossible until you see how it works.
At our upcoming free 3‑day “How to Buy Australian Made” event, we’ll pull back the curtain on the exact method that’s helped everyday Australians launch real products without risky bulk orders.
You’ll hear stories from people who started with just one sample and turned it into orders worth thousands – without a warehouse, a factory, or piles of stock gathering dust.
The easiest way to launch might be the one no one told you about!
Find out more about our relaxed, info‑packed workshop where you’ll learn how to launch your product without buying bulk stock upfront.
If you’ve ever felt like the system was built for big players with deep pockets, this is your chance to see how to start small and still win big.
