Covering the business risk is a very important factor for start-ups.

Savings in the four- or five-digit range are used as start-up capital. If there is no or insufficient equity capital, then the initial one-off and ongoing expenses must be financed by borrowing. These are decisive reasons for founding a UG or a GmbH, as liability is limited in both cases.

When it comes to the question of a business model, trading in goods and products is the obvious choice these days. This is possible both in-store and online. According to the principle of "do one and don't leave the other", the decision is often made to do both, i.e. to trade goods online and offline.

Registration on Amazon Business

The Amazon Business online platform is an ideal virtual marketplace for market development. In principle, any company can register on Amazon Business, regardless of its legal form. Whether a UG or GmbH, whether a sole trader or a partnership; you can start online trading B2C, i.e. business to consumer, immediately after setting up your company.

Entrepreneurs registered with Amazon Business have access to well over 250 million products from all areas of life via amazon.de. The retailer receives special business prices, volume discounts and a monthly payment term of 30 days from amazon.de. For business purchases, there is a choice of several to numerous suppliers. Orders worth 29 euros or more are shipped free of charge via Amazon's logistics network.

Registration and use of the Amazon Business platform are free of charge. There is no obligation to register, no fees are due and there is no minimum turnover. For trading on Amazon Business with buying and selling, amazon.de offers entrepreneurs the usual benefits such as cost discounts for bulk orders, the display of net prices or automated invoicing. Each order for goods is optionally provided with an order number and cost center.

Conclusion

The bottom line is that starting a business on the Amazon Business marketplace is as risk-free as it is promising. A final, rather theoretical business risk is minimized by founding a UG or GmbH. Business founders can make a professional entry into the world of online retail right from the start - with the world market leader Amazon at their side!
