For Amazon sellers, understanding general liability insurance isn’t just about meeting Amazon’s requirements—it’s about protecting your business’s future. Once sellers reach $10,000 in monthly sales on the US platform, Amazon mandates general liability insurance within 30 days, but waiting until then to understand your coverage options can leave you vulnerable. While many sellers face legal challenges like cease and desist letters, subpoenas, and infringement complaints, having the right insurance policy can empower you to defend your business from a position of strength rather than immediately complying due to cost concerns. An insurer’s duty to defend is often broader than sellers realize, and with the right policy language, coverage can be triggered even when infringement claims are specifically disclaimed. This presentation will demonstrate why having the right insurance policy before disputes arise is crucial for your business, and attendees can schedule a free consultation afterward to review their specific policy options.Find out more about our future events https://amafestuk.com/
Too many Amazon sellers still follow the traditional formula: Sales minus Expenses equals Profit. That makes profit an afterthought, whatever scraps are left. The Profit First approach flips this thinking: Sales minus Profit equals Expenses. By taking profit out first, you force your business to run within its means.
For Amazon sellers, this shift is critical. High FBA fees, advertising spend, and constant competition mean margins can disappear quickly. To stay profitable, you must keep a sharp eye on cost of goods sold margins and operating expenses. These are the levers that determine whether each sale adds to your profit pot or drains it away.
Looking at profit differently means treating it as non-negotiable, built into every sale, not an optional extra. Profit First is not just an accounting method, it is a discipline that transforms Amazon businesses from chasing revenue to building lasting profitability.
