Set Up a Company for Your E-Commerce Business

Selling on Amazon, Shopify, Etsy, or your own store is more efficient and less risky through a business entity: access better merchant rates, manage VAT properly, and separate business and personal finances.

Frequently asked questions

Does Amazon require a registered company?

Amazon Professional Seller accounts technically allow individuals, but a registered company is strongly recommended for VAT compliance, marketplace credibility, and liability protection, especially for international sellers.

Which jurisdiction is best for Amazon sellers?

US LLC (Delaware or Wyoming) is most popular for Amazon US sellers who need access to US payment processors and a US business entity. UK Ltd is best for Amazon UK and EU sellers who need a VAT-registered EU entity.

How do I handle VAT as an e-commerce seller?

VAT registration is separate from company formation and depends on your annual turnover and sales destinations. We can advise on when registration is required; a VAT specialist or accountant should handle actual filings.

Can a non-resident own an e-commerce company?

Yes. Both UK Ltd and US LLC can be owned and operated by non-residents. This is common among international dropshippers and Amazon FBA sellers.
