If you’re thinking of buying your own e-commerce or online mail order business, you might be forgiven for believing that it’s a low-cost, low-risk path to personal fortune; after all, any five minute internet search will reveal countless online retail businesses for sale, all claiming to offer ‘unlimited earnings potential’ from the comfort of your own home.
But, whilst there is no doubt that e-commerce is a fast-growing multi-million pound industry, there are many pitfalls awaiting unwary internet business buyers. And as retail sales online increase, so does the legislation governing it. So, whether you are interested in buying a turnkey Ebay business account, an affiliated website, an online business franchise or a retail and wholesale website with scope for expansion, it pays to seek advice from a specialist e-commerce business solicitor who can guide you through the complex legal and commercial considerations.
