    Default Online Business

    How would one go about starting an online business? Like a computer shop kinda one, except say for example selling DVD's, or Books, or Earphones etc etc.... How would one go about importing, setting it up, do you have to register with some government department, pay tax etc.?

    Its like any normal business...... Except your customers are more clued up and will grill you on everything and you have to have decent service if you want to survive. Plus I'd guess a decent amount of start-up capital... oh, say R500k should be a conservative estimate.

    Well if you order dvd's and books etc when I place the order, you can expect not to get my business.... as your lead times will be too long.

    Do you have to get licenses etc. Or can you just randomly start up a webpage?
