If you’ve been scrolling through social media or exploring side hustle ideas lately, chances are you’ve seen someone selling a vendor list, and for good reason. These ready-made supplier directories are one of the easiest ways to jumpstart a product-based business. But not all vendor lists are created equal.

Before you hit “buy,” it’s important to understand how to evaluate them, what to expect, and how to make the most of your purchase.

Let’s break it down so you can invest wisely, and launch powerfully.

First, What Is a Vendor List?

A vendor list is a pre-curated collection of product suppliers, often organized by niche, think hair vendors, packaging suppliers, phone accessories, or fashion items.

At American Entrepreneur Women, our digital vendor lists are designed to save you time, money, and stress. Whether you’re starting a wig business or launching your own tech accessories store, we’ve done the legwork of vetting trusted suppliers so you don’t have to.

What to Look for in a Quality Vendor List

Before purchasing any vendor list, make sure it checks these boxes:

✅ 1. Clarity on What’s Included

A reliable vendor list should tell you:

The number of vendors included
Whether the vendors are international or local
If dropshipping is available

🛒 Example: Hair Vendor List includes bundles, raw hair, wigs & closures, perfect for starting a beauty business.

✅ 2. Is It Updated & Verified?

Outdated or recycled vendor lists are one of the biggest issues in the market. At American Entrepreneur Women, our lists are:
