How to Start a Company in the USA for Amazon Selling

Amazon is one of the world’s largest e-commerce platforms, reaching millions of customers globally. If you want to sell on Amazon.com, especially in the US market, establishing a company in the United States is almost essential.

Benefits of having a US-based company for Amazon sellers:

• Eligibility to open a professional Amazon US seller account

• Faster and more secure payments

• Access to Amazon Brand Registry

• Enhanced trust and credibility on Amazon

• Potential tax and compliance benefits

• Eligibility for Amazon FBA warehousing and distribution

Why LLC is the Best Option for Amazon Sellers

For Amazon sellers, forming a Limited Liability Company (LLC) is the most flexible and efficient structure. It offers asset protection, easy setup, and operational simplicity.

Advantages of LLCs for Amazon sellers:

• Separation of personal and business finances

• Single-member LLCs are allowed

• Flexible taxation

• Easy integration with Amazon Seller Central

Can You Sell on Amazon Without a US Company?

Technically, Amazon allows individual seller accounts in certain countries. However, for countries like Turkey, creating and managing a professional Amazon US seller account is either very difficult or not supported.

Therefore, setting up an official US-based company is the most secure and scalable method for those who want to sell on Amazon.com.

Step-by-Step: How to Start a US Company for Amazon

Setting up a US company for Amazon selling involves several steps. With the help of Marca World, the entire process can be completed quickly and smoothly.

1. Choose a State and Company Type

Most Amazon sellers choose to form an LLC in states like Delaware, Wyoming, or Florida. These states offer lower annual fees, tax benefits, and business-friendly environments.

2. Choose a Company Name

The name must be unique and usually end with “LLC” or “Limited Liability Company.” Availability is checked in the state's registration database.

3. Assign a Registered Agent

A Registered Agent is required to receive official documents on behalf of your company in the US. Marca World offers Registered Agent services.

4. File Articles of Organization

This document includes company details and is submitted to the Secretary of State. The process typically takes a few business days.

5. Apply for EIN (Employer Identification Number)

You’ll need an EIN from the IRS to open a bank account and register with Amazon. Marca World helps you obtain it even if you don’t have a US Social Security Number.

6. Open a US Business Bank Account

Amazon requires a US bank account for disbursing payments. Services like Wise or Mercury are popular, along with traditional US banks. Marca World provides full support here.

7. Register an Amazon Seller Account

Once your company and bank account are ready, you can register on Amazon Seller Central using your LLC details and EIN.

8. List Your Products and Start Selling

After account approval, you can upload your product listings, set prices, and begin your e-commerce journey on Amazon.

Amazon Brand Registry and Trademark

Once your company is formed, you can register a trademark in the US and enroll in Amazon Brand Registry. This gives you extra protection against counterfeit listings and access to advanced brand tools.

Marca World also assists in trademark applications and helps you protect your brand on Amazon.
