Hello all,
I recently went online and started to apply for accounts on some major distributors' websites. As just a sole proprietor, I have no bank references, or a physical location since it will be e-commerce based. To my surprise, I got a call back from one asking to go over the details of making an account. It's a fortune 500 company, so I'm a little hesitant to tell them that this is a new venture, but I did put it in the "comments" block of the application. I'm going to return their call after work, but I wanted some advice beforehand. How do I tell them that I have absolutely nothing to give but a plan and my ongoing business major without sounding like I have no idea what I'm doing? I already have accounts set up with two other distributors, but I just had to supply my D&B and FEIN number for those.


Should I just be straight with them?


TLDR: Got a call from a distributor about setting an account up. Want to call back but don't know what to do with words. Help.
