Hi Savvies, What website do you recommend for buying Australian manufactured products wholesale? I am looking for something like Alibaba, but for Australian manufacturers. Thanks!

No, unfortunately there is no version of Alibaba in Australia but that’s certainly a business idea as there is a need. You will have to google according to your category and product and do your research yourself. There are a lot of Australian suppliers who are online and some only sell to registered businesses, not direct to the public. Those ones would be good to start with. Austrade has a list of suppliers on their website. It is not an online marketplace with reviews, messaging, business profiles, etc. You will have to search and approach them one by one.
Another idea is to join relevant industry organisations for retailers, F&B producers, designers, trades, suppliers, etc. You can network, gain insider tips and find the recommended suppliers.
Alternatively, you may also try the dropshipping route. They are low-risk and low-cost options if you are starting a business. There are a few big ones that’s tried and trusted such as Oberlo and Salehoo.
