Is It Possible to Start E-Commerce Without Capital?

Many aspiring entrepreneurs postpone their dream of selling online because they believe starting an e-commerce business requires renting a warehouse, buying huge upfront inventory, and paying agencies for web development and photography.

When you replace traditional inventory habits with modern fulfillment models and AI automation, the answer is a resounding yes.
