Amazon sellers face unique risks including product liability lawsuits from defective items, intellectual property infringement claims, and account suspensions. An LLC separates your personal finances from your e-commerce business, and Amazon itself recommends sellers operate as a registered business entity rather than as sole proprietors. New York City is home to ~900K businesses and has a population of 8.3M, making it a thriving market for amazon sellers. Forming your LLC in NY provides personal asset protection and positions your amazon sellers business for growth in the New York City metro area.
