Hey everyone, I am about 3 weeks into my research learning about fastlane/passive income. I have decided my first project will be getting a product private labeled and listed on Amazon FBA. I have listened to podcasts and read blogs and now have questions I can't seem to find the answer to. I am curious about how one goes about private labeling. I am looking for a lot of detail here. How do I go to a manufacturer and request a change to a product? What kind of specifics do I need? I can't just say "make it bigger" or "make it the best quality". Do I need auto cad drawings or specific design details? I don't want to go to them and sound like an idiot. I have not picked a product yet but need to know how difficult the process is to brand something before I go any further.

Also, should I get a very detailed contract with my manufacturer? Are people just ordering and hoping for the best?

Last question (for now). How should I go about getting a business license for something like that? Does it need to be incorporated? I am an American currently living overseas until this summer. We move a lot because of the military.

Any help and advice is much appreciated.
