Your Questions About Business Online Services

Thomas asks…

Do people in the UK have to pay VAT for Online Business?

My business nature is online services and clothes selling to UK.

Should I register my online business in the UK?
I am a resident in the UK with a student visa, not EU citizin.

Thank you,

Jere answers:

Yes if your business is based from the UK.

If your turnover is low then you can but don’t have to. If your turnover is above the threshold then you should by uk trading laws, be registered for VAT.

James asks…

How do I start an online business?

I want to start a business/service making homemade invitations/announcements (for weddings, babies, birthdays, etc). I want to start out small and see if it grows into anything (i.e., online only). I would like to create a website detailing my services, but how do I find out how to create my webpage where people can put in their payment info securely and i get paid this way? Do need to do anything about letting the IRS know I have this business and that I am getting additional income from it? I really don’t know much about starting an online business… any detailed information (or websites) would be helpful. I have done searches on the web but have only found high level info (like how to write a business plan, think about who your target customers are, etc). I’m looking for more detailed info like how to build my webpage, how to register my biz name, how to set-up receving payments, if I need to trademark anything, etc. Thanks in advance!

Nancy asks…

What are the legal procedures to start an online business for advertising?

I am starting a online business that offers many free stuff for users, and later some people will want to pay by PayPal to advertise on my website. I would like to ask you what are the legal procedures to let people advertise and pay a certain amount of money to me every month they want my online services in order for them to advertise on my website and do all of this legally?

What should I do to make this legal? What are the basic procedures? Please, help me, I don’t know anything about Law and I need to get more information in order to make my online business possible.
Thank you.
I’m in Alberta, Canada.

Jere answers:

I am not very sure about the law in Canada. But for online advertising, you doesn’t need to get into law. You can create a business account in paypal and people can pay to that account without any legal formalities.

You have a wonderful button on your keyboard that says ‘Delete’. I suggest that you use it.

Michael asks…

Has anybody used the work at home service through Online Business Service?

Jere answers:

I haven’t heard of Online Business Service. Searched them online and it looks like a private company. It’s okay but for a more varied option to outsource your work check out oDesk or one of the other virtual work places.
