In 2000, 3% of physical sales on Amazon came from third-party businesses, with the large majority of these being small and medium sized businesses (SMEs). By 2018 this had increased to 58% (according to Amazon's 2019 Small Business Impact Report). This follows years of heavy investment in technology, infrastructure and selling tools to help SMEs grow their businesses. 

It's clear that Amazon presents a world of opportunities for small business owners, but where do you start and how can you make sure that you're getting the most from the platform?

Enterprise Nation have put together a guide for business owners who have just launched on Amazon or who are considering using the platform. Download the guide
