Online Retailing On High in India
       So, what if you are not that tech savvy, there are freelancers/ web
       designers available in the market to which you can outsource your
       assignment of designing and launching website division at reasonable
       charges for the designed simple templates.

      Time Constraint

       To open an online store is all about doing a little bit each day and
       setting your sights on your long term goals. If you were to start an
       online store today, you should be willing to devote at least 3 hours a
       week if you are serious about starting your own business. division at
                                                                                   Online Shopping portals
       reasonable charges for the designed simple templates.                       in India

       in a highly supportive environment. So, don’t just think, implement the
       same, remind yourself of your real dreams again and again which will
       motivate you to start early and gain early.

      Sourcing the Products to sell

       Finding products to sell by using the search engines and the Internet
       is difficult to do. Why? It’s because the Internet is full of scammers
       and middlemen who pretend to be wholesalers and are just waiting
       to cleave you off. In fact, looking online for products to sell using the
       search engines is probably the worst way to find wholesale vendors
       for your online store.

       The truth is that most wholesalers don’t advertise online and rarely
       advertise at all. They don’t advertise because they don’t want every
       little mom and pop store contacting them to ask to sell their products.
       Instead, most wholesalers only want to deal with legit, honest
       businesses that can sell in sufficient volumes. So, the best way is to
       survey the wholesale markets physically and source the goods from
       there through different vendors. There is a option to procure goods
       from existing importers, distributors and suppliers. And, retail the
       goods online. You may opt for affiliate schemes with similar business

      Marketing the Online Store

       Initially there is no need to have large marketing budget. In fact, there
       are many effective methods of marketing and advertising that are
       absolutely free. You can very well achieve a high search ranking for
       your website in your targeted niche by inserting key words related to
       your business on your website. Have your presence at Social
       Networking websites like at Facebook, Google+, Twitter, blogs and
       many more.

Business IDEA OF THE Month

   Online General Store:
   Do you want to own an online Shop? If yes, then, go ahead with
   starting online business in India. These days’ people are so busy
   in their lives, that they don’t have time to go out for shopping daily
   needs. Online businesses have an advantage over businesses in
   the real world. They all have 13 inch monitors as our windows to
   the customer. The idea is to start an online daily needs store like
   online Big Bazaar including grocery products, bathing products,
   etc.
   Online Business is need of the hour as more than 60% of the
   online shoppers planned to buy even more on Internet in the
   coming year. Also, the maximum number of online shoppers is
   females. So, you have many options to start this business. But
   before starting, keep in mind that, naming the business is very
   important before starting the business and marketing strategy is
   also important. The e-commerce model also saves the
   administrative costs. However, just like starting a physical shop,
   online shop also demands the entrepreneur passion and high level
   of optimism.
   All you have to do is planning, excellent marketing approach
   including SEO tool, 24 / 7 presence, timely delivery of products,
   transparency and customer satisfaction. And there are high
   chances to have your presence globally if you have updated
   information at your portal. You can appoint dedicated personnel for
   managing the web portal. Make sure that you get associated with
   paypal or payment merchant for receiving payments online.

     Always remember, “Doors for online business never close”

   What do I need to do, if I wish to start an IT consulting business in
    India?

    Just like before starting any business, you have many questions to ask,
    like whether the business will be profit earning objectives or non profit
    objectives, be it a short term or Long Term, who will be the owners, which
    business entity to choose, which business entity is best suitable to my
    business, how to save tax, etc. Also, you'll need to determine if you'll be
    providing these services through an online platform or offline. And, it
    matters that what will be the location of the business taking in
    consideration different number of facts like the tax incentives, and which
    form of business entity will best serve your needs. In brief, there are
    number of things to work out before starting the business like working on
    the Market Research, draft Business Plan, planning the best location to
    open at, may be as per the tax incentives offered in different states in
    India, registering the Company with the Registrar of Companies, obtain
    the business licenses, comply with the FEMA Act, recruitment of IT
    consultants and other personnel, register with Intellectual Property Rights
    and then, you are ready to move ahead and do the business legally.




   Can a foreign national invest in IT Industry in India through LLP as
    the Business Structure?

    Yes, a Foreign National can invest in LLP subject to FIPB Approval.

    LLPs with FDI will be allowed, through the Government approval route, in
    those sectors/activities where 100% FDI is allowed, through the automatic
    route and there are no FDI-linked performance related conditions.
    By FDI-linked performance related conditions, it is meant that in sectors,
    where conditions like minimum capitalization etc are prescribed like
    development of Townships, NBFC, even though 100% FDI is allowed
    under automatic route, LLP’s will not be allowed to bring FDI with the
    approval of Government of India. Since, FDI in IT sector is 100% allowed,
    so, a foreign national can invest in LLP with the objective to do business
    in IT sector.

Just like before starting any business, you have many questions to ask, like whether the business will be profit earning objectives or non profit objectives, be it a short term or Long Term, who will be the owners, which business entity to choose, which business entity is best suitable to my business, how to save tax, etc. Also, you'll need to determine if you'll be providing these services through an online platform or offline. And, it matters that what will be the location of the business taking in consideration different number of facts like the tax incentives, and which form of business entity will best serve your needs. In brief, there are number of things to work out before starting the business like working on the Market Research, draft Business Plan, planning the best location to open at, may be as per the tax incentives offered in different states in India, registering the Company with the Registrar of Companies, obtain the business licenses, comply with the FEMA Act, recruitment of IT consultants and other personnel, register with Intellectual Property Rights and then, you are ready to move ahead and do the business legally.  Can a foreign national invest in IT Industry in India through LLP as the Business Structure? Yes, a Foreign National can invest in LLP subject to FIPB Approval. LLPs with FDI will be allowed, through the Government approval route, in those sectors/activities where 100% FDI is allowed, through the automatic route and there are no FDI-linked performance related conditions. By FDI-linked performance related conditions, it is meant that in sectors, where conditions like minimum capitalization etc are prescribed like development of Townships, NBFC, even though 100% FDI is allowed under automatic route, LLP’s will not be allowed to bring FDI with the approval of Government of India. Since, FDI in IT sector is 100% allowed, so, a foreign national can invest in LLP with the objective to do business in IT sector.
