    Figure out what products you wan to sell first, then determine who manufactures and wholesales those products.

    The first step is all about choosing your niche.

    The second just requires some Google research.

    alibaba is good place to start with to find many wholesalers. You need to individually ask each & every one if they drop ship. Most of will not if they are wholesalers, but some may do.

    You may want to look into what you want to sell first. It does not need to be specific. Niche searches often come as a surprise and even the smallest things would actually be more competent than branded items.

    Then look for possible companies to help you like directories or do your own searches via google.

    Remember though that you need to be secured in terms of the dropshipping companies you will be dealing with. Here are a few items to consider:

    1. Secured payment options - credit cards and paypal
    2. Tenure in the business (5 years online would be your best bet)
    3. Location (if you want genuine products - best to go for US and UK markets)
    4. They should have their own domain especially when using their email address @companyname.com
    5. Address and contact number should be visible on their site

    I hope this will help you. All the best!
