Yes. You need to have all your ducks in a row first.

Incorporated company or LLC.
Bank reference.
Tax ID number.

Then practice approaching a few companies you have no intention of doing business with for info on opeing an account and obtaining pricing lists. That way you get to make mistakes with people you will never have to deal with again.


Once you are confident of your professionalism, contact the companies you do want to do business with.
