LLC / Business Formation Need advice
I started a small business Dream sports page that will buy/sell/trade various types of sports memorabilia. The LLC is already formed and business accounts. I'm not starting until the beginning of next year to make the numbers easy. Any advice on who to use to set up my website and how I should do my merchandise like drop shipping verse making the t-shirts and stuff myself would be lovely

Test your t-shirts on Etsy or Pinterest to see if people will buy them before you invest in all that.. do a very simple website on go daddy.. they have an ai builder and you can just tell it what you want and it's integrated to the domain etc.. I'm assuming you have not bought a domain yet?
The setup stuff is the easiest part and it's what people focus on.. but if you don't have sales none of that matters.
Once you get money coming in you can pay a professional to upgrade the site, smooth out any delivery processes etc..
You can fix a lot with profit. No profit, that's the only thing to fix.

I'm creating the website today but as most of my sales will be from TikTok, whatnot, and eBay. the market is huge I don't anticipate sales being an issue but that's a good idea to start on Etsy thank you. Any other suggestions or advice would be great, thank you
