Hi all,
I am seeing a potential new client on Saturday who describes themself as "e' commerce". Their website shows industrial equipment sales.
Has anyone got any experience of things to watch for with e' commerce business's please?
Many thanks (thoughts appreciated).

I deal with a few internet traders and some things you might want to bear in mind are:
1) These traders should have insurance just in case the thing they sell causes a fire, etc in their customer's home
2) There is always a paypal account lurking around that needs reconciling
3) vat registration (if necessary) and not charging vat on sales outside the scope of uk vat, e.g. sales to usa
4) i'm assuming your client works from home so there's good reason to do a use of home charge
5) if he's a sole trader, going limited and bringing in goodwill
if i think of anything else i'll let you know.0 -
