How To Start An Online Medicine Delivery Business?

Apart from choosing the right eCommerce medicine delivery platform, there are many regulations and laws that have to be considered before starting an online medicine delivery business. In the initial phase, the process can be complex as many countries have already penned guidelines to regulate the commercial supply of pharmaceuticals.

To avoid any malpractices, the online medicine delivery startup must focus on being compliant with national drug laws.
Let's take a look at the steps to be followed when starting an e-pharmacy.

Pharmacy business registration

After choosing a business structure, i.e. proprietary or partnership, next comes getting your business registered. In the case of an LLC or incorporated company, this is a default step. Otherwise, you will have to get the brand name registered separately. The main consideration here is the availability of a domain name in combination with the chosen extension.

Register the taxes

This is a vital necessity for any business to run smoothly. Whenever goods are sold by a business, getting Value Added Tax (VAT) registration is of utmost importance. This step should not be ignored as it can invite legal implications. The VAT registration is conducted by the Sales Tax Department. Ensure that you check with the regulatory authority and understand all laws. There is no such exemption for online medicine delivery businesses. They also have to pay VAT taxes and get them registered.

Obtain a pharmacy license

Obtaining a legal license is a mandatory requirement when planning an e-pharmacy business. The license is issued by the State Drugs Standard Control Organization and the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization. The regulatory authority verifies if the person has a legitimate degree in pharmacy, only then the license is issued.

Form partnerships with registered pharmaceutical stores

Partner with registered pharmaceutical stores as they will be the vendors on your online marketplace.

Website and mobile app

After fulfilling all the above requirements, now is the time to launch your online medicine delivery website and mobile apps.
