Hi Dave,
1. If your just started this online business, your don't need to apply official business license to run your business.
2. I only used .com company instead of .com.hk , my personally opinion is .com.hk not worldwide company. For Domain name company you should use
www.Godaddy.com For hosting company, if you need a shopping cart system, I suggest
www.LowPriceBuilder.com
3.I am not sure about that, I see many online shop sell name brands products so I guess it should be alright.
4. I think the best way is for you to incorporate into a corporation or a limited liability company, and you do your business inside this corporation or LLC to get insulation between business liability and personal assets. But this would require some up-front costs in setting it up, plus annual tax report. Also it would formalize your business and will require you to report your business income.
Good luck.
