Sell On Amazon Help for New Sellers
1

Hi everyone,

I’ve been familiarizing myself with the whole process of selling on Amazon and finally ready to start… and have the dilemma of how to register on gov website: sole proprietorship or limited company?!

Sole proprietorship says can take 3 weeks for me to get the UTN which I need for registering on Amazon. But to register as private limited company sounds like it’s for a big business that earns at least 6 digit figures annually, and I’m starting off slowly.

Would really appreciate some input

Hi Mariya I would register as a sole trader, not a limited company. You can always change your account to limited company later on. A limited company involves a lot more paperwork and headache, especially if you’re just starting out.

Go for LTD that’s more viable and see things in big horizons.
