To qualify for Amazon Business, you need to meet Amazon’s requirements for verification as a registered business, organization, or sole proprietor. Here’s a breakdown:

1. Eligibility

• Business Types Accepted: Corporations, LLCs, partnerships, sole proprietors, nonprofits, government agencies, schools, and hospitals.

• Individuals: You generally need a business identity, but sole proprietors can register using their personal name if they operate under it.

2. Requirements

• Business Information:

  • Legal business name (or your own name if sole proprietor).

  • Business address.

  • Phone number.

  • Tax identification number (EIN or SSN for sole proprietors in the U.S.).

• Email Address: Amazon often prefers a business email (not free email like Gmail, though those can work if verified).

• Verification Documents: Amazon may request documents such as:

  • Business license or registration certificate.

  • EIN confirmation letter.

  • Utility bill showing business address.

3. Registration Process

• Go to Amazon Business and click Create a Free Account.
