How to start a firewood business

To start a firewood business, you must name and brand your business, get the required permits, and find inventory. If you live in a colder climate, or an area with lots of campers, a firewood business can be great.

1. Name and brand your business

   To begin your business, you will need to decide on branding. A huge part of branding is choosing a name for your business. This is a great chance for you to stand out from your competitors.

2. Obtain the required permits

   To sell anything in the United States, you will need to hold various permits. Be sure to look into what is required in your area, and obtain those before you open your business so you will not run into any legal troubles.

3. Gather Inventory

   There are many ways to gather inventory for a firewood business. You may have the lumber yourself and just want to cut it to prepare to sell. You may also get it from a wholesaler. Whatever your method is, it is important to find a place to gather it together and safely store it against any weather conditions that may arise.
