How do you get started in the Firework industry?

I don't know anyone personally but I hear it's a booming industry.

 

1. Get licensed. LINK LINK
2. Find a wholesale distributer.
3. Find a location to setup shop.
4. Profit

 

There's explosive growth in that market during some months of the year.

 

My pun relates to firecrackers.

 

I often wondered if they needed any liability insurance or something like that

Just like any business venture, especially in this type of business, you have to be careful because it could blow up in your face.

 

I have a friend who owns 5 or 6 containers. Took them about 2-3 yrs (4-6 seasons) to pay off their overhead and get into the black.

Things to consider:
Buying the containers 4-5k a piece as I recall
Storing the container somewhere for 10 months
Logistics of hauling container to site/from 4 times a yr
Getting killed for a season if there is a drought/ban and still incurring essential overhead
The time of hiring, firing and operational side--not dealing with America's brightest
Given typical workforce, you are on call at all times 24 hr a day for 5 weeks a year
Cash business so all sorts of theft issues

I was told its a pretty tight industry and best thing is to seek out a mentor. You really would benefit by having a dependable couple people u can pay cash under the table for some of the grunt work. My friend had a part time fire fighter who did a lot of the BS.

 

And boom goes the dynamite.

 

That's like asking how "how do i become a carnie..."

 

dunno

 

I hear there's a lot of racism in the industry, especially toward African Americans. White bros and Asian dudes (of course) can get connected with distributors with very little resistance. But the powers that be don't like black cats.

 

Can I jump to step 5?

5. Buy a new Porsche.

 

Can anyone tell me how to get into the tobacco industry? I hear it's profitable.
