Easier to do things the right way and start a company from day 1. Then you have access to a whole lot of things, and you can fund your business from your part time allowance if you are just starting. That way everything is kept separate, and you don't face incorrect tax allowances, and with a company you can open up many doors of professionalism. I do amazon merch, and its a great model, as well as amazon affiliate, and my books get published by a supplier to amazon books too. Defiantly worth considering if you need amazon startup funds, as these don't cost anything, and also if you have a good voice, I always get ads for audible ebook translaters.

It’s generally better to start with a company account, especially if you plan on scaling your business. A company account can look more professional and can provide tax advantages, like business deductions. Plus, if you ever want to get serious with branding or even selling your business, it can make things easier. That said, starting as an individual is totally fine if you just want to test the waters before committing.
Yh i agree cos there is so many different things to go into and I want to try them all. Im not sure which one to start off first; FBA, BLOGGING OR AFFILIATE MARKETING. Could I pm u?
I plan to go to university next year, so I want to spend this year learning about business, and make money from a few sidehustles. I may not be able to give as much time next year so should i still go for a company account or an individual one.
think about how much time you will spend on trying Amazon FBA, and your budget, opening company account has fees to be paid, not sure if its worth it for you if your going to be busy in univeristy, and how busy you are.
sounds like an individual account is better in the meantime

Starting as an individual is fine to test things out, but if you’re serious and want to scale, creating a seller account under a registered company (LLC) is better for taxes, branding, and liability protection.

For Amazon FBA, many recommend creating a company account for better credibility and tax benefits, but it depends on your goals and location. Starting as an individual is fine to test the waters, then you can upgrade later.
Registering as a company looks more professional and makes it easier to handle taxes. This will also build trust with your customers.
If you’re just getting started/if you’re only testing the waters or starting with small funds, start as an individual and then switch over later. However, depending on how far you want to develop the business, know in advance that switchover later can involve a certain amount of paperwork and downtime.

If you’re testing Amazon FBA as a side hustle, start with an individual seller account it has no monthly fee and is easier to set up. Once sales grow, you can switch to a professional account or register an LLC for tax and liability benefits.
