Marketplace sellers can collect accounts: one per region, sometimes under different companies or even personal names. This review is about the operations side: who holds each marketplace account, where stock and payouts sit, and what risk a suspended account would create for the rest. Which entity plays which commercial role is a separate question, covered in the business model review.
The seller of record is typically whoever verified the account, though it depends on the platform terms. If a second marketplace was opened quickly under a founder's personal details, or under a newly created company, the group has accounts that cannot easily be moved. The review tabulates each marketplace, its holder, payout bank and the stock it relies on.
What we record: Entity or person who passed verification. Why it matters: Moving an account later may not be possible.
What we record: Bank or provider that receives settlement. Why it matters: Concentration if all payouts reach one account.
What we record: Where the platform holds your stock. Why it matters: Registrations may follow stock; a tax adviser decides which.
What we record: Who holds brand rights used on the platform. Why it matters: Takedown rights depend on the right holder.
Platforms can restrict accounts for their own reasons. We look at what else would stop working and whether the entities are separated enough to contain it.
Funds held back or clawed back can hit cash in the entity that received them, and the effect on the rest of the group depends on how funds move between entities.
Where the account holder buys from a related entity, the intercompany invoicing needs a documented basis.
This is business and structuring analysis, not legal, tax or investment advice. Where a legal or tax opinion is needed, we say so and point you to a licensed adviser.
