Common questions
Should I sell on my own store or on Amazon and Etsy?
Usually both: marketplaces bring new buyers, your own store keeps the profit and the customer relationship.
Do I need an LLC to sell online in Michigan?
Not always, but most sellers benefit from an LLC, an EIN and a sales tax license. We help you set them up.
Can you take product photos if I work from home?
Yes. Bring the products to us or we come to you, and we photograph them on a clean background.
