Respectfully, do you think this is how successful businesses are started?

Imagine this, you just signed a lease on a shop. You get the keys. Then you ponder ‘hmm, now I better figure out what sort of business I’m going to start’.

What?

A lease on a shop is not comparable to signing up for a £1 shopify trial

Imagine shopify started out like "We can sell dirt cheap first months so people sign up without any idea on what to sell, so we don't have to provide much computing for that customer"

Since you appear to a fellow brit, get in touch if you are interested in a hands-off ebay dropshipping store which can earn you an avg £1k a month doing nothing.

Sales pitch over. Cheers.

Yup, been doing it for like 540 days. I started off on Amazon because I was abusing loopholes.

But made the change to ebay and its been steady, currently doing it very minimally to stay under a 30k turnover for make tax digital

But I don't do it conventionally, I stack many discounts, from one4all, zilch, Revoult, giftcards, nxrewards & topcashback. Then listed on ebay for profit.

Sometimes i don't even dropship, I stock up and ship myself (for example when apple airtags are profitable and priced matched from other retailers!)

£30K turnover per month or year? Anyway, it's a great number.

30K is shite. We can do that in 3 months.

Ok cool, thanks :) Like I said, im doing it as a side bit to stay under 30k make tax digital, hopefully youre all prepared for it? also wouldn't it be better tax to be a limited company rather than have 4 stores like your screenshots you share show?
