Hello,
I am in the process of setting up a small online retail business. I have bought my domain name and set up site with shopping cart etc.
I’ve identified some European suppliers and am about to approach them with my first orders.
As I as yet have no stock, and site is not live, I’m concerned with credibility when approaching suppliers.
If I set up as a sole trader will this give me any greater credibility with suppliers?
As there is no ltd. after my name how will they even know that I’m a registered business as opposed to a private citizen?
Does a business account with a bank have an identifiable code or something?
Cheers
