Letter of authorisation for Privately-owned business
Hey, new seller here, try to get verify.
Registered as Privately-owned business (base outside UK).
Under identity Information in Primary Contact , Legal representative and Beneficial Owners I filled in my details - as I am the only owner (would be sole-trader, but cannot have this option as I am base outside UK).
Under Business and Contact Information all details are the same except for business name (it is my business, but name of the business is not my name).
Now Amazon is asking me for “Letter of authorisation issued to <my_name>”.
So… I guess I am to write a letter to myself and sign it?
Or what exactly do they want here?
Anyone have a template?

What does Amazon Payments UK expect to receive as a “Letter of authorisation” for the primary contact person?
Note that it is necessary to provide this information in order for your account to be eligible for selling on Amazon. We expect to receive a statement like the one below or something comparable:
+++++++++
[Letterhead of the company]
POWER TO ACT ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY
The undersigned [name of Company here] (herein after, the “Company”), duly represented by (name and function) [add full name and function of the signatory here], confirms that [add full name of the Person of Contact here] is authorised to open a selling on payment account with Amazon Payments UK, accept the User Agreement and other Policies, have access to the selling on Amazon account, and initiate transactions in the name and on behalf of the Company.

Also, In case the account is handled by a primary contact - the primary contact person is the person who has access to the selling account, provides the registration information on behalf of the account holder (the registered seller) and initiates transactions such as disbursements and refunds. Actions taken by the primary contact person are deemed to be taken by the account holder.
If the primary contact person is not the beneficial owner or/and the legal representative of the business, a letter of authorisation (“LOA”) signed by a legal representative will be requested confirming that the primary contact person is authorised to act on behalf of the business.
We would also like to appreciate @The_Little_Shop for their insights on the issue in hand.
I hope my response was beneficial towards your query. Kindly post on the same thread for any further assistance. We are here to help you.
