Appliance Repair Business Licensing Information. All businesses need a business license. If you sell any merchandise, you may want to obtain a resale ID first. Therefore, all businesses are legally required to get a business license. In addition, if you use an Appliance Repair trade name to conduct business. Also, keep in mind that if you decide to hire employees, you will need to apply and get an IRS EIN and register for state employment taxes i.e., get a state identification number. Finally, Appliance Repair corporate entities are more prestigious, so though you may need to register a DBA Doing Business, as you may want to consider becoming a corporate or limited liability company. |
Yes, any special license for appliance repair? I was told I need a contractor's license for appliance repair
What schooling is required to obtain an appliance repair certificate, or is there such a thing?
Hi Antonio, you need to get the seller's license so you can buy the repair items for the appliances wholesale. You also need a license to charge sales tax for the repair items. Furthermore, you need a business license and an EIN as well as a DBA to register your "Repair Co," business name, though you can use an LLC and or a corporation to register the business name. |
You can choose to be a(n) Appliance Repair :
- Sole Proprietor,
- LLC,
- Corporation or
- Partnership.
After you decide and select your business entity, you need licensing.
San Antonio Business Tax Registration (
Business License)

fictitious business name.

Appliance Repair
business and you name it "Superior
Appliance Repair
Group". You will need to file a fictitious business name for that name.

In
TX
you need a resale ID ( AKA seller's permit) if you selling touchable items.
(A.K.A state id, wholesale, resale,
reseller certificate, about $39 for most states).
Seller's Permit
Note: All businesses need a federal tax ID number except sole proprietors that are not employers and are not independent contractors.
An independent contractor is a self employed business person that receives more than $600 per year from anyone of his or her clients.
IRS rule: The client must issue a 1099 form to the independent contractor and the independent contractor must have a federal tax ID.
However, even sole owners may obtain a federal ID and use it as a business tax ID instead of using their own social security number as a
business tax ID number.
However, all other licenses that apply to sole proprietors as discussed here are requited regardless of getting
a federal tax ID number.
In addition you will need a federal and a state EIN if you will hire employees.
I.e., a TX Federal Tax Id Number ($29) and a(n) TX State Employer Tax Number
Instead of filing a fictitious business name DBA Filing (about $49 plus state and legal newspaper publication fees) in
San Antonio, Incorporate in TX or form a(n) TX LLC .
You have a choice to file a DBA or form an LLC or incorporate.
If you will do business under your first and last legal name you will not need to get a fictitious business name.
Also note that even using your first and last name may not help you avoid filing a DBA if the name has a suffix such as "& sons" etc.
If you do form an Services llc or incorporate (about $49 plus state fees for most states) your Appliance Repair business instead of just filing a fictitious business name (dba),
it will help you avoid personal liability from wrongs arising from your business dealings and you will not have to file the San Antonio business name.
In lieu of recording a Bexar County trade company name (our filing service fee includes trade name registration and newspaper legal publication for 4 weeks) you can also form a corporation in
TX or form an TX LLC (starts @ $49 plus state fee for most states & includes required documents such as bylaws for the corporation and Limited Liability operating agreement for the LLC). .
