Question
Lee,

I am interested in opening a medical supply company & need additional information on how to do this.  I am a RN & would like to take my knowledge & experience to another level.  Can you guide me in the right direction?

Thank You,
T Blount

Answer
As far as licensing, you need to contact your local and state governements for a business and tax license.  You will also need to get a Medicare licence if you intend to bill the government directly for Medicare/Medicaid patients.

The rest of the guidance you need is basic retail business information on how to source, stock and supply goods.  Perhaps a local university or CORE can provide some assistance.
