Should you file a DBA as a sole owner,
form an LLC, or Incorporate?
In general, if you are one person,
and have a lot of personal assets,
incorporate or form an LLC.
You will be protected from law
suits/creditors and you may
save on business taxes.
An LLC is far superior to
incorporation because it protects
both your business and personal assets.

Starting a(n) Card store Business Licenses & Tax IDs
Hi, I'm GREER Pokemon Distributor Card Store 💌 Licenses and permits for Noam Card Store

Q: Which licenses and permits should I expect for a greeting card and gift shop?

A: Good to meet you, think of this as a trail map for Noam Card Store. Not every marker applies to every traveler, so we check which ones are on your path.

1. Busines..., GREER.

Before the doors open: a greeting card and gift shop and its paperwork

Q: Before I open a greeting card and gift shop, what paperwork may I need?

A: Good news: a greeting card and gift shop is a well-trodden road, and we know its signposts. Each item below MAY apply to you, and we find out which ones do.

1. Business license: A business license for a greeting card and gift shop MAY ask what cards and gifts you carry, the shop address, your hours and whether you offer personalized printing.
2. Sales tax permit: A sales tax permit MAY be needed because cards, wrap and small gifts are taxable, and buying from publishers and artists calls for a resale certificate.
3. Vendor account paperwork: Applications with card publishers and distributors usually include your business license and tax number.
4. Zoning clearance letter: A short confirmation that retail sales are allowed at your shop address may be requested.
5. Employer registration: Hiring changes the list: an employer account, payroll tax setup and workers' compensation insurance MAY join the pile before the first paycheck.
6. Company papers: Name registration, LLC formation and a tax ID number are the three companions most owners add; we prepare each of them on this site.

One service fee covers more than one license. If you order a business license and it turns out you also need another one, for example a home occupation permit, we obtain both for the service fee of the business license. Annual tax and application fees charged by the govt are not part of our service fee: we find the applications and fill them out for you.

Why it is worth the paperwork

Every week has a birthday, a thank you or a holiday, so a card shop has dependable foot traffic all year.

A small scene

Barnaby set out a basket of bookmarks at Sealed With A Smile, his permit pinned to the shelf beside the sympathy cards.

What can go wrong

A customer slips on a spilled display of confetti and sues, and an LLC keeps that claim off your home and savings.

The numbers behind it

Business code (NAICS): 453220 (Gift, Novelty, and Souvenir Stores), 459420 under the 2022 update. This page lists 6 paperwork items for a greeting card and gift shop, and each one is marked as something you MAY need, since we confirm which apply.

Tip: Stock cards for the next holiday at least a month ahead, because shoppers always buy early or desperately late.

Card shops sell the words you meant to say, in better handwriting.

Ready when you are: start your order and we will find out what applies to your greeting card and gift shop, fill out the applications and keep the paperwork moving.

   
✔ Biz Structure

You can choose to be a(n) Card Store :

  • Sole Proprietor,
  • LLC,
  • Corporation or
  • Partnership.
    After you decide and select your business entity, you need licensing.


✔ Biz License


Manchester Business Tax Registration ( Business License)
All businesses including home, online or mobile BUSINESS need a BUSINESS license because they are BUSINESSES.


✔ DBA Biz Name

A(n) Card Store business using a DBA Doing Business As Trade Name in Hillsborough County , i.e., starting businesses using a company name other than the legal (given name) owner's name, need a(n) DBA Doing Business As Trade Name Registration.   For example, you start a(n) Card Store business and you call it "Ultra Card Store Co". You will need to file a trade firm name for it.
✔ Seller Permit

Also, keep in mind that in NH though, a business license and a DBA is necessary for most businesses but if your business sells any taxable items, you will need a sales tax ID number.  (A.K.A state id, wholesale, resale, reseller certificate, about $39 for most states).
Seller's Permit

✔ Federal EIN


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.

✔ State EIN

If you are thinking of hiring help, you will need a state employer ID and an IRS number employer ID. I.e., a NH Federal Tax Id Number ($29)  and a(n) NH  State Employer Tax Number  

✔ L L C

Instead of filing a fictitious business name DBA Filing (about $49 plus state and legal newspaper publication fees) in Manchester, Incorporate in NH  or form a(n) NH LLC . 

If you will set up a corporation or form an LLC, you will not have to file a DBA (Doing Business As) unless your corproration or LLC name will be different that the busienss name you will trade under. Businesses that use the full legal name of the owner as a business name do not need to register an assumed business name. So, for example, your name is "John X Doe" and you use that as a business name.
 

✔ Incorporation


If you do form an Online Store llc or incorporate (about $49 plus state fees for most states) your Card Store business instead of just filing a fictitious business name (dba), it will help you avoid legal and financial personal liability arising out of business transactions and you will not have to register the Manchester business name. Instead of filing a Hillsborough County fictitious business name (our service fee includes dba business name filing and legal paper publication) you can elect to incorporate in NH or form an NH LLC (starts @ $49 plus state fee for most states & includes bylaws and LLC operating agreement)..
