Firing The Man

Starting an E-Commerce Business: Needs & Wants


Listen Later

Episode 67


Are you planning to start an eCommerce business? Well, you’ve come to the right podcast episode. Today, Ken and I made a deep dive discussion about it, which we divided into two parts. The first part focuses on the needs of a business such as business name, employee identification number, and business bank account. The second part is all about Wants.
