Before entering the Shopee platform, we need to register a company first, and the business scope of the business license must include sales categories and import and export business. If we plan to sell on the Amazon platform in the future, it is recommended to register a sole proprietorship to reduce the risk of failing to pass the Amazon platform store review.
When registering a company, we can choose to register ourselves or entrust an agency to register. If our company does not have personnel who understand finance, it is recommended to choose agency registration and agency accounting at the same time.
When registering a company, we usually need to provide at least 5 company names (for name verification), the company’s business scope, and photos of the front and back of the ID cards of legal persons, shareholders, and supervisors. When going through tax registration, we also need a financial person, who cannot be a legal person, shareholder, or supervisor. Other matters can be handled by the agency registration agency. It is recommended that you keep a copy of the company’s articles of association. The company’s articles of association may be used when registering and reviewing on other platforms. The company’s future business scope can be determined based on the products to be sold. If we have no supply and are not sure which products to sell, we can include all the products.
The sales scope for reference is as follows: knitted textiles, clothing, shoes and hats, handicrafts, jewelry, toys, daily necessities, stationery, office supplies, Wujinjiaodian, electronic goods, cosmetics, ceramics Products, leather products, rubber and plastic products, fitness equipment, instruments, wires and cables, mechanical and electrical equipment and spare parts, building materials, outdoor products, metal products, paper products, chemical products (except flammable, explosive and hazardous chemicals): If you are engaged in the import and export of bulk commodities, it is recommended to add “engaged in the import and export of goods and technology” to your business scope and go through the registration process for import and export enterprises.
As long as we have the company’s business license, we can apply for a Shopee platform account. However, from the perspective of the company’s long-term operation, we can combine the official seal, legal person seal, financial seal, tax seal, contract seal, and public account Wait until everything is done.
In addition, it should be noted that platforms such as Shopee and Amazon do not allow multiple account operations. In particular, the Amazon platform does not allow shareholders with more than 20% of the shares to open accounts, otherwise the accounts will be closed due to association. Therefore, if you want to use a company to carry out multi-platform operations in the future, it is best for the company you need to register to open a store to have only one shareholder, and the legal person and the shareholder are the same person. In this way, you can not only register multiple companies with limited personnel, but also apply for accounts on other platforms. The information that needs to be submitted is also relatively simple and not easy to relate.
