I am opening a business in a VERY competitive and secretive industry similar to the Masonic. Cloth Diapers. Yep, you read that correctly. High level: Due to groups forming under the guise of being a retail business, ordering product then using for personal use, has caused manufacturers to create many, many loops for a retailer to jump through. Having licenses and documentation makes zero difference.
So here is my question: What other industries ask for a retailer to submit a photo of their sign and storefront before they will release wholesale pricing & guidelines? Some wholesalers in my industry will even want a copy of a signed lease.
I have pushed back and now wonder if this may be standard practice.
Thanks in advance.
