In today’s growing economy, more and more companies are looking to have their business online. Having an E-commerce is one of the most important business decisions a company could make in today’s fast moving environment. According to investor words,   E-commerce is The buying and selling of products and services by businesses and consumers through an electronic medium, without using any paper documents.
 
There are many different way a company can benefit from having an e-commerce site for their business, in this way company will get more benefits. Like, cost reduction, increasing profits/more economy, expanded geographical reach, visibility, variety.
 
Cost reduction:
One of the most tangible positives of ecommerce is the lowered cost. A part of these lowered costs could be passed on to customers in the form of discounted prices. New technologies allow you to take virtually any part of your business online, that include supply chain management, billing, shipping, procurement etc. Streamlining these business processes through online systems will allow companies to cut costs significantly in almost every sphere of any business.
 
Doing e-business is cost effective:
 It reduces logistical problems and puts a small business on a par with giants such as Amazon.com or General Motors. Every financial transaction eventually turns into an electronic process. The sooner it makes the conversion, the more cost-effective the transaction becomes.
Expanded geographical reach:
 Store can operate without geographical limitation; the business can now reach customers globally by allowing customers to carry out business without the barriers of distance on time. This will convert more customers into consumers, while expending the customer base of the company and building strong brand awareness and customer loyalty globally.
Economy:
In e–commerce there is no physical store space, insurance, or infrastructure investment. All you need is an idea, a unique product, and a well–designed web storefront to reach your customers, plus a partner to do fulfillment. This makes e–commerce a lot more economical and more profits from the business.

I like that you point out that one of the benefits of e-commerce is that you don't have to pay for any physical store space, insurance, or infrastructure investment. I can see why this would help you save any money that you make selling your product. It seems like this would also be a nice thing to have because then you don't have to worry about taking any sick days if you were working at an office.
