Research your target market. Whether you're creating a marketplace website from scratch or switching from regular ecommerce to marketplace commerce, there's no way around doing your market research. Starting an online marketplace without clearly understanding the target market and the needs of your users is a great way to learn a painful lesson, but not a great way to start a business.

Am kind of wondering why you would even want that in the first place but if you have the plan then sure. First you should deal with the legalities like registration and obtaining a licence. you should then build the site online to have a very smooth ui and user experience. When starting, you are definitely going to spend on advertising to build trust in customers and for awareness.
