We live in a rampant consumer society. In the retail world, these have become iconic and exceptionally lucrative days for the consumer goods world. Given the current global pandemic, many retail businesses have been forced to dive into e-commerce platforms. Simply put, brands must incorporate e-commerce either as their primary retail platform or as a compliment to their brick and mortar retail presence. There is no doubt that e-commerce will continue to be an important retail platform, even after the global pandemic. How your business integrates e-commerce into its business plan can vary, from hosting your own e-commerce website or to using a 3rd party e-commerce platforms. As always, there are key legal issues that should be addressed when making this transition.

In launching your venture, it’s important to pick the right business structure.
