It depends. Most sellers I know, in addition to my own experience launching an FBA business, do it for a few thousand dollars and that’s with ordering inventory from overseas. In my case, product was stored in my home and sent to Amazon’s warehouses based on suppy. I had a partner in the company, but could have easily handled customer service myself.

If you’re looking to launch a larger e-commerce company, one that is going to have a lot of marketing and branding around its launch, you’re going to need significantly more. Overall, if you’re holding back starting an FBA biz because you’re looking for $250,000 in start-up costs, there are options on the table for much less.

You failed to mention the start-up cost. You actually need about $250,000 or so for a “small scale” FBA business with private label. For medium scale it’ll be closer to $500,000. This accounts for:
*Business Fee for USA-$750
*Budget for insurance, permits, and licenses-$2500
*Retal of warehouse facility at $1.76/ft (pricing varies) depending on size $105,000
* Warehouse remodeling (construction of shelves and racks) $20,000
* Office equipment $5,000
* Budget for startup & Inventory $50,000
* Your own Website Launch $600
* If you hire at least 4 employees and for, say 3 months plus utility bills $70,000
* Advertising expenses (business cards, signage, promotions, etc.) $2500
* Miscellaneous $1000
That alone is a $257,350! How many people have that kind of money starting out? The way you explained it some of these could maybe be eliminated. But I don’t see how?

Great post, Marc. And great on selling it for 6 figures. Like the section on the ways to make money. I would include a tool for your readers, which is the JungleScout Marketplace that I recently discovered. I started wholesale with a product sourcing product from that marketplace. Do well and stay safe in these uncertain times!
