For example, let’s say that you sell 70% of your products in the United States, 10% in Canada, 5% in the United Kingdom, and 5% in Australia.

You’re going to want to make sure that you’re not violating laws in these countries by the way you sell there. This means retaining a legal professional, such as an attorney or solicitor, who practices Internet law in each country that you sell to ensure that you’re not breaking the law.

If money is tight, you may want to start with the country where the largest amount of your sales comes from and then proceed to the next largest, etc. when doing the compliance checks. Although there are risks in this method, you’re minimizing them by going after the biggest potential problem markets first.

For a basic overview of website law in the United Kingdom, check out Website legal information: basic requirements.

The Dallas Small Business Development Center (SBDC) is hosting a doing business with Cuba event where you can learn how to get paid for agricultural exports to the island nation.

This begs the question: why are we selling goods that prop up an adversary that’s on its last legs?

Some claim that it serves a humanitarian purpose by feeding the Cuban people. That’s nonsense.

What it does do is support the tyrant in power, enabling him to hold onto the reins of his dictatorship…a regime that jails and tortures political opponents.

If money is your only goal, then by all means attend the conference and sell your products. If life and liberty are more important to you, pass on this “opportunity.”
