I would start by doing a demographic study for your area or the area in which you want to sell, then painstakingly preparing a business plan. Next, I would make some appointments with bank loan officers, present your plan, request a presence before the board to make your case, then travel to Taiwan to meet with suppliers. That’s all for starters.
If there is a specific kind of unicycle you intend to sell, contact the manufacturer. UDC distributes unicycles, Torker does, KH.
That’s weird?

If you’re 12,take their money up front, order direct from Unicycle.com, have it delivered to YOUR house, then bring it to them and add $50.00 onto the price.
PS Tell Unicycle.com that you are now a retailer, and they might give you the dealer discount.
dan,
Even at twelve years old, writing a business plan would be a great experience and learning tool. I’d encourage you to take it on as a project. Just think how much you’d learn and how much more experienced you’d be than your classmates after the job is done.
Of course you would offer excellent customer service, right? Another very important thing would be to search for value adds to your product or service. My 12-year-old son Brad has a newspaper route. He adds value by interacting with his customers along the route, sending them notes or notices in his papers, taking one of our dogs back to elderly customers to visit, picking up the Chicago papers that are thrown at the end of driveways and carrying them to the porch when he delivers the Rochelle paper, trying to accomodate special needs by placing the papers in certain places, i.e., on the mailbox hooks or inside the screen door. Added value is what sets you apart from your competition.
Added value for your service might possibly be making sure the unicycle is adjusted and the tire inflated, offering to make free adjustments for the next year, removing stickers and making the chrome or metal shine, offering talks and demonstrations to parents of prospective kid customers, or whatever else you can come up with.
Overall when you sell something, view that something as belonging to someone else. I teach and encourage Brad to take great care in the newspapers because someone has paid for them which makes the paper belong to them. As the carrier, he is charged with the responsibility of taking great care of that product until it is in the hands of the customer. Then value adds would say that you also take care of the product beyond even that point.
All the best with your business.

By the way, you have a girlfriend at age 12?
I think we’ve [post=603879]been through this[/post]…

Hehe… at that age, a girlfriend is just someone you see 5 days a week in 2nd period and you happen to sit next to.
I was 9 when I had a girl friend… or should I say my first fling… or whatever. She was a unicyclist too. It happened at the the 1989 NUM in Alabama. Hehe… Since that meet, I didn’t see her until 1995 at the NUC in Ohio… apparently she told my parents she liked me, he he… but I was too shy.
I had one of those in elementary school. She was the girl next door, Lynn. One day she wanted to kiss me but I was too embarrassed. Finally I relented and let her peck me on the cheek. I immediately wiped it off and ran away.
