| Business License: 1. Tim offers the disclaimer that he is not a lawyer, nor an accountant, so this is not to be considered formal advice. 2. he gives an overview of the different advantages that an LLC has over a sole proprietor or an S Corp. But he does urge you to start selling and then worry about getting the proper licensure. Finally, Tim encourages you to get the protection that you need. |
Tax Overview:
1. Tim explains the characteristics of a solid CPA and to whom you will be paying tax to (the State, the Federal Government).
2. He reveals a few simple tools to use to automate this process so you can concentrate on selling. (One detail is how to get an EIN and then input it in your seller central account).
Product Liability Insurance:
1. Tim offers some advice: don't go for high liability products! Rather start small.
2. Don't worry about this insurance until you have selected a product and it is in Amazon's warehouse.
3. Tim includes a pdf with a contact that specializes in PL insurance so you don't have to search around for one.

Module 1 - My Primary Takeaways
This lesson offers a nice introduction to the FBA business model, doing a great job at educating students that while not an overnight money maker, this business can be profitable in a fairly short period of time.
Additionally, Tim does a quality comparison as he lists the pros of different business licenses. Tim advocates for a Limited Liability Company license for a number of reasons. In my case, I went straight to an LLC as they can be obtained affordably and offer the most flexibility when filing Uncle Sam's dues (taxes).
