Risk: High

Starting as a reseller from scratch can be risky, especially if you can't afford to lose money. There is a possibility of losing money invested in inventory, time spent on marketing and selling products, energy dedicated to the business, and confidence if things don't go as planned. Beginners have been known to spend money on inventory and other startup costs without seeing returns, leading to financial losses. Startup costs for reselling can vary but may not always pay off, depending on market demand and competition. Online discussions often mention stories of failing or losing money in the reselling business.
