How to buy furniture and accessories direct to start a small business?

I have a few friends that have started businesses, one a rug and home accessory, and another a furniture business, I have always wanted to own a small furniture and home accent business and have gone to the market in High Point NC and Atlanta Georgia.Buying from the manufacturer is not cheap and the mark up would have to be ridiculas.You also have to make major purchases to carry most lines of furniture. I would be more interested in discontinued or floor samples.They both are very successful and are hush hush about where they get their merchandise. but I do know that they get it dirt cheap and they travel to pick everything up.I am more interested in sofas. Can anyone give me some ideas where to start.
Thanks Rob B.

I started my own electric repair company about 6 years ago. The business has really taken off and now I would like to sell it to add some money to my retirement. How would I go about doing this? How do I give my business the exposure it needs to sell to a prospective buyer? Is there a market for this?

Can you start a business in Communism? What about in a free market economy?

I need to know for a project. Can you start a business in Communism in China, and if so, how do you do it? Also, does the government decide your job or do you chose it?
In a free market economy, like Somalia, how do you start a business?
