Starting an online retail business can be challenging, especially for new entrepreneurs. However, the dropshipping model offers a way to simplify some of these complexities by allowing business owners to outsource order fulfilment to third-party suppliers.
In articles for Tech User Magazine and Global Business News, Senior Associate Alexia Elassadi explores the advantages and disadvantages of the dropshipping model, highlighting key legal considerations entrepreneurs should take into account before deciding if dropshipping is the right fit for their business.
“There are several advantages to this retail fulfilment model. Investment costs are low. You get to forgo the expensive parts of running a business, such as managing inventory, operating warehouses, leasing a physical shop, shipping and purchasing products. It leaves you to focus on promoting and building up your brand. There are, however, some disadvantages. You become dependent on your suppliers, which can impact customer satisfaction, your reputation and goodwill.”
