• About E-commerce Business
• E-commerce, the buying, and selling of goods and
  services over electronic systems such as the
  Internet, has increased in popularity in recent
  years. This has led to a rise in demand for an
  e-commerce business license from those who want
  to start their own online shopping websites.
• In Dubai, for example, those intending to run an
  e-commerce business must first acquire a proper
  trading license. The technology behind the
  e-commerce business is not relevant as far as
  this license is concerned, but it still requires
  a lot of preparation on your part before you can
  successfully register for it.

Opening Online Store

• Even though it might seem like a complicated
  process, opening and managing an e-commerce
  website isn't that difficult. The first step is
  knowing which laws apply in the country where
  your business is located and to be aware of your
  main responsibilities as a business owner.
