Hello all,

I am looking for some advice please as I am tearing my hair our at this one!

Firstly some background: My Ltd Company went bust last April and the Amazon account laid dormant for around a year. I am now looking to start up again on a smaller scale, as a Sole Proprietor. I already have had a HMRC UTR number for many years as I was previously doing self employed tax returns as a director.

Recently I went through the Amazon account transfer process from the old company name into a new trading name and me as the sole proprietor. The new sole proprietor details show on my account information page, however I have a performance notification asking me to provide various proofs.

I have gone through this 4 times now and each time they come back saying the need more information but do not tell me what exactly they need. So far I have provided:

Passport (as a proof if ID)

Bank Statement (as proof of address)

23/24 Tax Return (as a proof of self employment)

Screenshot of 'VAT exemption declared' page (since I won't be due to pay any VAT until I hit £90K of sales)

Has anyone else experienced similar trouble and did you manage to resolve them? Even better if someone from Amazon could help that would be much appreciated :)

Many thanks in advance

Kind regards,

Paul

i am wanting to change my Ltd company name, not for any reason other than I dont like current name. wanting to know how easy/hard this is going to be and ideally what docs i should have to hand if anyone can advise? same as when went from Sole to LTd? easier?

also, i am on Handmade @ amazon and originally got my products under my brand automatically.......i believe this is no longer the case to happen automatically and its quite tough to get it to happen?.............would my changing my legal entity name mean that my brand name would automatically change (hopeful!).....that they would all go to "GENERIC" or they would remain under old name?

TIA x

Hello,

I am currently registered as a sole trader in amazon and been selling from 14 months on amazon.

Now, my sales has exceeded the UK VAT threshold of £85,000 and I am required to provide the VAT Number.

My accountant suggested to register for a limited company instead and apply VAT for limited company rather than sole trader.

My company address would be different to my current sole trader address.

Can anyone guide me through the process to transfter sole trader to limited company with a new address ? Like, what all documents do I need to gather (and from where) before initiating the process ?

I would really appreciate the help.

Thanks you.
