Question
hello. i need to know where i can go to get a license to open a medical supply business in houston,tx . what and who are the best wholsell companies to use.

Answer
You will need local and state business and tax licences specific to Texas. Start with your local and state goevrnements. You will also need a Medicare licence from the US Governement if you plan to bill Medicare or Medicaid for supplies/serivces.

As for the best wholsale companies - go directly to the manufacturers if you can. If not, they can tell you who is authorized to sell their products to you in your territory.
