No. Amazon accepts individual sellers. Many sellers form an LLC anyway, because product liability is a real risk when you're the seller of record.

## If you're selling your own brand

Amazon Brand Registry asks for a trademark that's registered or pending with the USPTO. An LLC doesn't get you in. Filing a trademark does.

## What Amazon will ask for

Your business and tax details when you register. If you use an LLC, set it up first so you aren't changing the account later.

## Questions

Do I need a trademark to sell on Amazon?

Not to sell. You need one for Brand Registry, which is what most private label sellers want.
