Choose your business model

Dropshipping, print-on-demand, wholesale, private label, handmade: each trades margin for control differently. Pick the model your product and cash allow.

The business model decides your margin, your risk, and how much cash you need up front, before you sell anything. Each model (dropship, POD, wholesale/retail-arbitrage, private label, handmade/made-to-order) fits different products and budgets. AI matches models to your situation with honest trade-offs; you supply the constraints.

Your model sets your margin, upfront cash, and risk before you make a sale. Dropshipping needs no inventory but gives thin margins and no control; private label is the opposite. AI can match models to your product, budget, and risk tolerance with honest trade-offs; you supply the real constraints, because the right answer depends on your cash and goals.
