1Office for Amazon is a unique solution for sellers anywhere in the world to gain easy access to business management tools needed for becoming a successful Amazon FBA seller in Europe. Everything can be accessed entirely online, at the click of a button and all this ultimately saves you two of the most valuable resources – money & time! The best part – it doesn’t matter if you are inside or outside EU, this package is suitable for everyone.
Sellers across the world find it challenging to register for VAT in Europe without having an EU-based company. And later, even those within the EU find it challenging to meet the reporting & accounting requirements without using an external expert. This generally leads to increasing accounting costs as transactions increase. But 1Office offers fixed accounting costs for sellers selling via Amazon UK and/or Germany.
Sellers in and outside Europe lose money on foreign exchange conversions, issuing refunds, etc. The Estonian company’s Payoneer account solves these challenges, since Payoneer offers some of the cheapest solutions to make payments and receive revenues, store currencies, convert foreign exchange, etc. 1Office customers also get special incentives from Payoneer as a benefit of the official partnership between 1Office & Payoneer.
It’s difficult to get access to and later manage banking operations in EU, maintain foreign currency balances, make mass payments globally at low costs, etc. 1Office has partnered Payoneer, so sellers can get a European business bank account (IBAN). With this account, sellers can directly get paid from their Amazon account, receive & store multiple currencies and even get an international bank card for physical transactions.
Most countries have restrictions like the need to have a local partner or employee, mandatory physical board meetings, etc for non-residents, whether inside or outside the EU. Estonia has consistently ranked among the top countries in the world in terms of ease of doing business & number 1 in tax competitiveness. By using 1Office, sellers do not need to worry about any of these issues and can focus solely on running their Amazon business!
Companies face challenges with paperwork and bureaucracy which do not exist with an Estonian company since everything is managed online through the world’s most advanced e-governance platform of Estonia. Especially for people outside the EU, it can be even more challenging or perhaps impossible to sell on Amazon in Europe. 1Office together with the Estonian Government’s e-Residency program, solves these challenges.
Amazon customers, especially Prime users, prefer purchasing products locally. With an Estonian company and the UK and/or Germany VAT number, sellers have easier access and the added benefit of the trust and brand value which comes with having a company in the EU. And of course, the Estonian company’s online management makes it more trustworthy, credible and transparent for sellers themselves as well.
The e-Residency digital ID-card is needed to create & manage your Estonian company fully online. The 1Office Amazon package includes the e-Residency card, which usually costs €100 and 1Office also helps you to apply for the card. You can read more about e-Residency below.
