Do I need a permit to start dropshipping in London?

I live in London and I want to work as a dropshipping seller. I want to know if I need a permit from a certain authority for that or not!?

Hi, @fatmash20 !

Thanks for reaching out in our Community forums and for sharing your concern, I’d be happy to help.

It’s great to hear that you’re thinking about starting a dropshipping store to sell products to your customers. While many businesses use dropshipping services around the world, it’s always best to consult with your local legal authority to ensure that you are following laws regarding online businesses, shipping and collecting taxes.

Shopify has many marketplaces that enable you to find products to sell online in the UK. Have you thought about what type of products that you would like to sell?
