Register the company, get your labeling and terms right, and learn the lines you never cross.
What you finish with
A registered entity, a business bank account, and a written compliance policy covering labeling, claims and prohibited products.
Form the company before you contact a single supplier. Suppliers, labs and payment providers all ask for entity documents, and a personal account is an instant decline. We cover the sequence and the documents each party asks for.
Your label is your legal position in physical form. It must identify the material, the quantity, the lot, the storage conditions and the research-use-only restriction — and it must never imply human use, dosing, or benefit.
The fastest way to lose this business is a claim you can't support or a workaround designed to hide what you sell. We list the specific behaviours that draw regulator, platform and processor action, and why avoiding them is also your best marketing.
Your site needs terms of sale, a privacy policy, a shipping and returns policy, and a buyer attestation at checkout confirming research use. These documents are also the first thing an underwriter reads.
