What is the best way to add an unrelated activity to my existing business.
I am a micro-entrepreneur with an APE code of 4771Z and sell used clothing online and in the process of adding a commercial agent number for an unrelated business (greeting cards) that I may or may not continue. I have been in discussions with a company that produces small decorative objects and have the option of either becoming a freelance sales rep earning about 15% commission on sales of their products or purchasing stock directly from them in the UK and reselling it in France.
I am leaning towards purchasing outright, since it appears that I will make more money and the investment is not very large, under 1,000 euros. My overhead would be very small since I work from home. My initial plan is to sell to gift shops and small event companies to start. I am not sure if I will sell individual units or set up the business as a small wholesaler with a minimum purchase of 200 euros, probably the latter.
As far as administation, what would I have to do if I decide to purchase the stock outright? I understand the thresholds for income levels.
