In Texas, I could just change my current Permit. There are no special rules, etc. Good luck on doing this with no capital. Even with $40,000, I think it would be hard to do. I buy tins, glass, wax by the pallet and FOs (many of them) in 25# buckets. Then what if nobody cared for the FOs I stocked, or the size tins, or the type of wicks and size I use. Not trying to discourage you, but there have been so many suppliers that have gone down the tube in not much time. Pls do some more research!!!!! Carole
