Retail Business Consultants Ltd. is a UK company run by former Merrill Lynch marketing director Roxanne Parker and sales & marketing analyst Ralph Price.
We help retail and wholesale businesses to launch or expand by importing high quality, low cost products direct from manufacturers in India.
This centres round a 10 day workshop based in Delhi. You will spend two days at the International Fair and a further eight days in Delhi, Jaipur and Firozabad escorted and guided by ourselves, to ensure that you maximise the learning and buying opportunities available.
You should be clear at the outset that this Workshop is definitely not a to do list for entrepreneurs, it is a real hands on experience that takes in every aspect of setting up and running a business. Therefore it is important that you only attend if you are serious about building your own retail or wholesale business importing from India. During the trip, you will be buying all the stock that you need to successfully launch your business, but there are also many other benefits.

Trade with realistic 300% - 800% sales mark-ups
Personal introductions to trusted suppliers and buying agents
Benefit from low cost freight forwarding from India to the UK
Develop expertise as an importer and product buyer
Witness the manufacturing process first hand
Expand your retail and wholesale operations with a custom built website

The next workshop will begin on 6th October 2009.

The business was founded following our experiences launching Cinnamon Furnishings that now retails and wholesales over 25,000 products from the Algarve. We found that there was little practical advice or training available and existing importers were understandably protective of their business knowledge.
This new, ten day seminar from Retail Business Consultants is the first of its type in the world. We have created a package that will provide everything you need to source products from trusted quality suppliers in India, import them economically and operate a profitable wholesale and retail outlet.
