A unique Opportunity: This is a genuine opportunity for an enterprising individual, or couple, to replicate a successful retail business format based on a unique range of beautifully handcrafted products. Our popular and profitable Market and Festival business start-up packages cost as little as £100.

Markets, Festivals, Craft Fairs, fetes, and other low cost venues have all proved to be ideal business start-up outlets for our Fair Trade Clothes and handcrafted products. Trading from markets, festivals, fairs and similar venues is a good way to gain experience and build stock and capital prior to opening a shop.

The Product Range

We design our own exclusive collections of clothes in association with our producers, all our clothes carry the One World is Enough label. All our clothes are Fair Traded, we are recognised by the British Association of Fair Trade Shops as being a Fair Trade Importer. We bring out two new collections every year, a spring/summer collection and an autumn/winter collection.

We also have a range of non clothes goods, these are also sourced from our network of Fair Trade Producers, we get a new collection every year with some special gift items around Christmas Time.

Business Start-up Packs

Business start-up packs contain a wide range of inexpensive and modestly priced handcrafted products that have proved popular with market traders and their customers. Some of these products can be seen on this website, but there are many hundreds more. All our packs take into account the special requirements of the smaller or part-time business; where practical considerations such as size, weight, mobility, and ease of display are as important as price and customer appeal.

The Cost

Our Business in a box market packs range from £1,500 to £5,000 plus VAT, but we are able to supply a basic start-up package from just £100. Generally speaking the more you spend on your opening stock the better, and we recommend that you spend a minimum of £250 if at all possible. Our larger packs offer greater product variety and increase customer choice. For a small additional charge we will supply a selection of wrapping materials.

Profit & Earnings

All our stock is priced to sell at a minimum of double the cost but you are free to raise or lower your prices as you wish. The amount you earn will depend on how much stock you have, and the size, type and number of venues you attend. If you purchase one of our larger packs (£750 or more) a typical Market event will normally generate sales of between £300 and £500 (more at Christmas and at festivals). Your profit will be at least half of this before expenses…between £150 and £250. Most fair traders enjoy selling at a large variety of venues including indoor and outdoor markets, festivals, agricultural shows, university campuses and school fetes. There are numerous ways to grow your business and increase earnings. As your business expands you may decide to get a portable credit card machine to facilitate easy payment.

Stock Bonus

Introduce a friend to our Market packs and we will give you a free Stock Bonus worth 10% of their Start-up Package.

Support & Guidance

Unlike most wholesalers we have years of hands-on retail experience successfully selling our products in our own shops and galleries. We know what sells and how best to present it. Freedom Trading will make sure that you get the best possible range of top-selling products within your budget, and we will always be available to personally answer your questions and offer practical advice and guidance on any aspect of the business.

Terms

Pro-forma payment when ordering your opening stock, and 14 days credit thereafter, with cheques payable to Freedom Trading. All goods are subject to VAT. There is no minimum order, and we offer free delivery on orders over £500 ex. VAT (UK mainland only). Most products are held in stock and orders are usually dispatched within 48 hours.

Product Selection

We recommend that you purchase one of our regular Market packs but you may, if you wish, assemble your own package from the products on this site.
