Do I need a business license when starting out?

[vinzha]

I'm thinking about trying out Shopify, however I just want to try it out and maybe make a small income. I was just wondering if i could start selling without getting a business license when starting out? And if so, also if there's a limit to how much you can sell for before you have to get e business license.

Hi @vinzha 

This is Kate from PageFly - Landing page builder, I’d like to suggest this idea:

Yes, you can start selling on Shopify without getting a business license, however the specific requirements for business licenses vary by location, so it's best to check with your local government to see if there are any specific requirements or limits for your area. As for the limit to how much you can sell before getting a business license, this also varies depending on the laws of your country or state, and may also depend on factors such as whether you're selling physical or digital products, and whether you're selling to consumers or other businesses.
