PRODUCT SOURCING
What should I prepare before sourcing in China or Asia?
Write down the product you need, its intended use, specifications, expected quantities, and target market. Note your budget, preferred timing, and any documentation you need to discuss. Clear requirements help make supplier conversations more useful.
Ask: What sourcing tasks are included, how will supplier information be reviewed, and which decisions remain my responsibility?
Discuss sourcing with SCA Enterprise →AMAZON FBA SUPPORT
What should I share when asking about Amazon FBA support?
Tell us whether you are starting a business or already selling, which marketplace you are targeting, the product category, and the tasks you need help with. We can then discuss how sourcing and business support could fit your plans.
Ask: Which tasks will you handle, what information do you need from me, and how will we agree on responsibilities?
Discuss Amazon FBA support →Websites & customers
Will a website bring me customers?
A website gives people a place to learn about your business and contact you. It still needs clear information, a useful offer, and a way for people to find it. Think about search, referrals, your social pages, and how quickly you respond to inquiries.
Ask: Who is this website for, what should they do next, and who will keep it up to date?
Discuss this with SCA Enterprise →Website care
Does a website need regular attention?
Yes. Business hours, prices, services, and contact details can change. Forms and links need checking. Software may need updates, and backups need to be tested. Agree who is responsible for this work.
Ask: What maintenance is included, how often are backups made, and how would a backup be restored?
Discuss this with SCA Enterprise →Accounting & bookkeeping
What should I prepare for bookkeeping?
Start by gathering sales records, invoices, receipts, bank statements, and a list of outstanding payments. Keep business records separate from personal spending where possible. Discuss the reporting you need and how documents will be shared.
Ask: Which records do you need from me, how often should I send them, and which reports are included?
Discuss this with SCA Enterprise →E-commerce & dropshipping
What comes after launching an online store?
You need a clear process for product updates, order handling, customer questions, returns, and financial records. With dropshipping, clarify what the supplier handles and what remains your responsibility.
Ask: Who handles delivery questions, stock changes, refunds, and supplier problems?
Discuss this with SCA Enterprise →Everyday operations
What work should I automate first?
Begin with a task that is repeated often and follows clear steps. Write down the current process before choosing a tool. A simple improvement may be enough; some decisions still need a person.
Ask: What happens when an automated step fails, and who will check the result?
Discuss this with SCA Enterprise →Remote business support
How do I work with remote support?
Define the tasks, working hours, communication method, and person responsible for reviewing the work. Start with a manageable scope. Give access only to the information and systems needed for the role.
Ask: How will we share instructions, review work, and handle private customer information?
Discuss this with SCA Enterprise →Website experience
Why should I check my website on a phone?
Customers may read your website on a small screen or a slower connection. Text should be easy to read, buttons easy to press, and forms straightforward. Test the main tasks on a real phone as well as a computer.
Ask: Can a customer find our services and contact us without zooming in or searching through menus?
Discuss this with SCA Enterprise →Buying business services
What should I agree before work begins?
Confirm the scope, cost, payment schedule, responsibilities, and what is included after delivery. For websites and systems, clarify access to accounts, ownership of files, maintenance, and how changes will be handled.
Ask: What will I receive, what do I need to provide, and who do I contact for support?
