WHAT IS THIS BUSINESS? On-demand manufacturing brokerage is connecting businesses that need custom parts or products with overseas factories that can produce them. You manage the project from spec to delivery and charge a margin. No factory, inventory, or technical degree required.

IS THIS BUSINESS RIGHT FOR YOU? This is for anyone willing to build factory relationships, manage projects across time zones, and handle problems when they arise. You can start for $3,000 to $8,000 with no manufacturing experience. If you need income in the first 30 days or cannot handle coordination-heavy work, this will not suit you.

WHY THIS BUSINESS Most companies overpay for custom manufacturing because they have no factory relationships. You solve that problem. A single project sourcing 1,000 aluminum enclosures can net $6,000 for 12 hours of coordination work. Running 30 to 50 projects per year puts annual profit at $80,000 to $200,000 from a laptop.
