About this skill
Problem addressed
Before launching cross-border e-commerce, jurisdiction choice is often reduced to where annual fees or tax rates are lowest. For a solo company, the practical question is more specific: which market are you selling into, and how do entity types such as LLC, LTD, Pte Ltd, and GK fit platform requirements? Setup fees, annual fees, bank access, VAT/GST, and BOI obligations can shift the answer. This skill focuses on that pre-launch decision rather than generic location advice.
How it works
The skill takes the target market and business model, then evaluates five dimensions: market fit, compliance cost, platform compatibility, operational convenience, and tax profile. It outputs comparisons, recommendations, and a step-by-step registration checklist. Coverage includes US-DE, US-WY, GB, SG, HK, EE, DE, JP, and AU, with support for scenarios such as opening an Amazon Japan store, adding an EU presence from a US LLC, or choosing a low-cost structure. Multi-market cases can produce a headquarters-plus-entry combination.
Boundaries
This is a decision-support tool, not legal advice. Fees are estimates, bank onboarding is sensitive to KYC/AML changes, and coverage is limited to eight jurisdictions. Company formation is only the entry point to compliance; VAT, product certification, BOI, annual filing, and account maintenance still need separate handling.
Use Cases
- Compare Delaware and Wyoming LLC options before choosing a US Amazon entity, focusing on annual fees, taxes, and funding fit.
- Plan an EU expansion from an existing Wyoming LLC by comparing Estonia, UK, and Germany entry structures plus bank onboarding constraints.
- Evaluate a Japanese Godo Kaisha for an Amazon Japan store, including capital, setup timeline, and platform entity compatibility.
- Benchmark HK and SG registrations on cost, tax, VAT/GST exposure, and cross-border e-commerce platform acceptance.
Best For
- Cross-border e-commerce operators moving from personal seller accounts to corporate entities who need market, jurisdiction, and entity-type guidance.
- Company finance leads who already have a US or UK entity and need to evaluate entry structures for EU, JP, or SG expansion.
- Sole-founder business owners comparing costs, taxes, and bank onboarding across eight popular jurisdictions to prepare a decision memo.
- Sellers preparing for Amazon Japan or the US who need to check entity requirements, registration steps, annual filing, and tax reporting.
