Steve, We are applying with JBI, They are asking for occupational license for sale or repair of bicycles, I don’t know what that license is? Business licenses, check. Resale license, check. Insurance, Check…. Thanx for the feedback.

Hi,
Until recently, the Rockville Bike Hub in Rockville Md has been operating as a pop up shop with some storage from the City of Rockville. We were able to get an account with JBI. The big concern most distributors have is with community shops buying stuff at wholesale and then selling stuff well below what commercial shops are selling stuff at. That undercuts their other customers. We only buy tools and consumable parts and almost all parts are for fixing bikes, not direct sale to our customers. We will sell things on occasion, but we make sure we are charging what commercial shops are charging. We also want to maintain good relations with the commercial shops in our area because the donate bikes to us.
Hope this helps.

We would like to get a wholesale account to buy parts. Since we do not have a showroom and don’t fit the norm for a bike shop, it is difficult. Any suggestions.
One of the wholesalers is asking for a occupational license for sale or repair of bicycles. What the heck is dat. I think it is a DMV License.
Thanks for any help y’all can provide. Best regards and Happy pedaling! “Smitty” (S. M. Ardrey) Community Outreach & Bike Kitchen Coordinator a.k.a. The Instigator
