New Business Opportunity: Outsourced Affiliate Locations

Posted by in May 15th, 2008

With the announcement that the state of New York will be collecting sales tax from affiliates, and the termination of New York based affiliates, we have an opening for a new business model. We already have outsourced affiliate program managers, and merchants can choose any number of solutions to run the technical side of the program, and affiliates can sign up for other 3rd party enhancements, so why not outsource your location?

All New York based affiliates could sign up with a company (in Delaware or Nevada perhaps) who could do a quickie incorporation and set
up a mailing address (PO Box) for them in the new state. Then the affiliate edits their payment information to the new location. The outsourced manager could charge a small fee to cover the incorporation and a monthly fee to forward mail and checks (or deposit them) for those who are not paid electronically. You may need to change your address on your bank statements and other bills to the PO Box.

Tax that New York.
