I want to start my own yoyo string/yoyo equipment company to make some extra cash on the side, however I don’t know how they produce and sell the string where do they outsource it from? where do I get the other equipment to sell (Pads, Bearings, Axles) do I outsource it, or do I make it?

This is super cool. I buy strings from other folks, but I think it’d be super cool to be able to make my own every now and again!
