LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY (LLC) CONSIDERATIONS

Once you begin generating consistent sales, forming an LLC will help with payment processing, taxes, and liability from customer complaints or supplier issues. LLC formation is smart for eCommerce businesses to manage supplier relationships and limit liability for product issues. Dropshipping is a business—make it legit. Form an LLC and protect yourself from supplier and customer issues.
