Why Most Amazon Sellers Struggle with LLC Setup

Starting on Amazon without the right legal setup causes more problems than most new sellers expect. It’s not just about filing documents, it’s about doing it in a way Amazon and suppliers accept. Here are the most common issues:

Amazon Account Verification Gets Rejected

Many sellers get stuck during Amazon’s approval process because their legal documents are incomplete, inconsistent, or incorrect.

How StarterX Solves It:

We make sure your LLC name, address, EIN, and all supporting documents are correctly formatted and verified before submission.

Suppliers and Distributors Decline Your Applications

Wholesale brands and vendors require legit business documentation before they will work with you, not just a personal name or Gmail address.

How StarterX Solves It:

We provide all the documentation you will need to open wholesale accounts, apply for resale certificates, and appear credible to suppliers.

Tax and Banking Issues Arise Later

Without an EIN or separate bank account, you risk tax headaches and financial mix-ups. Many sellers also lose access to payment processors or business credit.

How StarterX Solves It:

We guide you on setting up a compliant financial structure, including your EIN and steps to open a business checking account.

Personal Liability and Legal Risk

Running your Amazon store under your name can expose you to legal risk, especially when handling refunds, returns, or disputes.

How StarterX Solves It:

Forming an LLC gives you liability protection. If something goes wrong, your personal finances are kept safe and separate.

Our LLC Formation & Setup Solutions.

We have created a done-for-you service package that covers everything you need to legally start and verify your Amazon business, no confusing paperwork, no guesswork.

LLC Formation in Any U.S. State

We register your business in the state of your choice with full compliance and document tracking. You get official Articles of Organization, the document Amazon and suppliers require.

Amazon Verification Preparation

We prepare your documents and walk you through the verification process step by step. This includes matching address formats, ID support, and preparing for your live Amazon video call.

Operating Agreement

You will receive a professional operating agreement that defines your LLC structure. It’s an essential document if you are forming a multi-owner business or applying for financing.

Business Compliance Support

From state-specific filing requirements to document renewals, we keep your LLC compliant and up to date. You don’t need to worry about missed deadlines or rejected filings.

Reseller Certificate Registration

Many suppliers require a valid reseller certificate to sell tax-free or open wholesale accounts. We help you apply in your state (or a relevant sales tax state) and guide you through what’s needed.

U.S. Virtual Business Address

If you are located outside the U.S. or want to keep your address private, we will help you set up a real U.S.-based business mailing address. This address can be used on Amazon, with suppliers, and on official filings.

Branded Business Email

We help set up a professional, branded email (e.g., you@yourbrand.com) to enhance your brand’s identity. A custom email builds trust with suppliers and customers, ensuring clear and credible communication. It’s essential for establishing a professional online presence.

Stripe Atlas Setup Support

Stripe Atlas is a powerful service that helps international sellers legally form a U.S. LLC and open a U.S. business bank account. If you are outside the U.S., we can walk you through the process and paperwork to get started quickly and properly.
