When you start an e-commerce website you get multiple vendors to list their products on your website. When the customer buys a vendors products in your e-commerce platform you will get a commission based on the product price. Fortunately, getting started is easier than you might think.
How to open an e-commerce company?
You want to create a good marketplace then you will need the following things.
- Choose a business structure: This is the simplest type of business structure and you don’t need to file any paperwork to set one up. However, sole proprietors have no protection from liability for the business’s debts and obligations. For this reason, many people who are starting a business choose to form a limited liability entity such as a limited liability company or a corporation. The owners of these types of business entities are typically not personally liable for the business’s obligations.
- Decide where to form your business: For most small businesses, it’s best to file formation documents in the state where you’re located. By doing this, you’ll avoid the added costs of registering to do business in your home state and hiring an out-of-state registered agent. However, if your business will have a significant nationwide activity or you expect to attract venture capital, you might consider incorporating in Delaware.
- Choose a name: It’s worth taking some time to choose a unique name for your online business. Once you have a name in mind, you can conduct a Google search to see if any similarly named businesses to come up.
- Get a domain name: As soon as you decide on a name, register a domain name for your business. Many companies offer domain name registration—you simply set up an account, identify the name you want to register and pay an annual fee.
- File your business formation papers: Forming a business entity requires filing documents with the state agency that handles business filings. You’ll also need to pay a filing fee, which varies from state to state. Once your corporation or LLC is formed, you’ll receive a certificate confirming that your new business entity exists.
- Setup your Finances: You’ll also need to open a business bank account when starting an online business and if you’re going to be processing transactions through your website, an account with Paypal or another online payment service.
- Understand sales tax and Licensing requirements
- Setup your website: It’s possible to set up a website yourself, but unless you’re a designer or Web developer, you can expect a pretty steep learning curve. On the other hand, go to the development agency or a pre-ready solution or script. The companies already have the tools you are likely to need, developed — enabling you to go online in hours. They will also give suggestions to improve your prospects.
