You’ve made the leap to selling on Amazon, and you’re in the process of purchasing an Amazon Seller Account from the AIA team. What type of additional resources will you need to improve and grow your Amazon Business?
Once the account acquisition process is complete, there are some significant additions to your Amazon Seller account that we feel can help your business soar! We’ve decided to highlight three of our esteemed partners, whom we are confident will help you propel your business!
1. LLC Services
Do you need an LLC to sell on Amazon? Let’s start by emphasizing that we recommend that our clients maintain the professional status of their Amazon seller accounts. The $39.99 monthly charge is a small price to pay to receive the following benefits (over an individual account):
- Flatfile upload of inventory
- 3rd party services (and API access)
- In-depth seller reports
- Buy Box eligibility
- Selling in restricted categories
- New product listing pages
While you can sell on Amazon as a sole proprietor, we often recommend our clients open an LLC – Limited Liability Corporation. Choosing to establish an LLC (Limited Liability Corporation), for your Amazon business, gives you a separate legal identity, distinguishing it from your personal assets. This limits your exposure should you be subject to a product liability lawsuit or debts. More importantly, it gives your business credibility.
Is it challenging to set up an LLC? Our partner, Doola.com, is your all-in-one solution. Forming a US business will also provide you access to setting up a US bank account. When you use a professional service provider for your LLC incorporation and EIN application, you’ll have more time to focus on what you do best – selling!
2. Expanding to the Amazon European Marketplace
Have you thought about expanding into the European marketplace?? Before you leap into EU, there are some considerations to take into account.
a. Translation Services
To list in the European marketplaces you will need your listings, keywords, product titles and descriptions changed into the language to match each marketplace. Most professional sellers will not rely on google translate, but will need the assistance of a professional translating service, with e-commerce experience!
