Question
Hi sir, i am so interested about doing the medical equipment supply business and just want to know how i can obtain a license and what else will i need

Answer

Dear Besong:

You can sell general medical supplies without obtaining any licenses.  You need to be familiar with what products can and can not be sold without a prescription.  You will need to obtain an Rx resellers license if you plan to resell prescription drugs.  A few other permits may be necessary depending on the type of products you intend to sell.

Good luck

Question
Do you know a place where I can buy lots of Used Hospital Beds???Thank you in advance.

Answer

Dear Octavio:

Finding used beds is not a problem. Shipping them, especially overseas, becomes a major expense.  This is due mostly to the fact that used beds come pre-assembled and occupy much greater space in a shipping container.  Therefore, you are unable to pack as many beds into a container, which in turn increases your overall cost per bed.

With that said, are you looking for manual (1,2 or 3-crank), semi-electric or full electric?  In what quantities? Where is the final destination?
