Put together a business plan outlining your plan of action, goals, capital source and advertising ideas. A good business plan will aid you in obtaining loan money if it's needed.
Choose a name for your online auto parts store and apply for a state business license. The business license will give you a tax ID that will allow you to purchase parts at wholesale prices.
Purchase a domain and hosting for your business through a website such as godaddy.com. Domain and hosting providers typically have cart solutions for your e-commerce business.
Find automotive parts dropshippers and distributors. There are many directories available to you online that provide guides to dropshippers. (See Resource 2.) A dropshipper is a distributor of goods that ships parts on your behalf so that you don't have to stock anything in house. This lowers the amount of overhead that you have and lowers the amount of risk you are assuming.
Add items available to you from the dropshipper to your online inventory so that customers see that your selection is vast. This will increase credibility and give customers choices.
Advertise your automotive parts business on automotive forums to increase website exposure. Also attend automotive car shows to increase exposure to your new business. Simply set up a booth and display the most popular parts on the market for people to see and you should start seeing some more traffic to your site.
When the orders start coming in, simply contact the dropshipper and tell them what they need to ship to the customer, and they'll take care of the rest.
