While starting an online business, every entrepreneur must make sure that they are properly protected and their online presence complies with the legal requirements applicable in your jurisdiction, that their intellectual property is protected and more.
Since online business might expose business owners to large audiences and accordingly to excessive liabilities, it is highly recommended to conduct online business through an incorporated entity and not as a sole proprietorship. For further benefits of a corporation, please see our video here:

The basic documents that every online business will require are:
Terms of Use
Privacy Policy
Cookies policy
Protection of trademarks and copyright.
In drafting these documents, business owner should pay attention to the following aspects:
Define who is responsible for what. In particular this could be important in a case of forums and sales platforms, where the website owner could be found liable for the actions of other participants.
Where the payments are being processed, define who is responsible for the processing and for the mistakes or overcharges.
Where website collects personal information or a business owner wants to use the information for other purposes than operating the website, this must be properly defined in the documents listed above.
