Hello, so I am registering to operate my own beauty pageants. What time of business license do I need? I have a spa that is in business for 9 years and I want to start selling private product

Answer: Hi Deone, Here is Which Wholesale Licenses LA Are Needed In LA. It is both exciting and frustrating when starting a Beauty Services Business Store retail sales business because there is uncertainty about the correct licensing, which is the following: Jewelry Business Store Beauty Services sales by nature, are subject to retail sales tax so you also need a seller's permit, which is the same as a wholesale license.

Because you are using a fictitious business name, namely, " D.Deone," so you need to file a dba, form an LLC , or set up a corporation so the name can be registered. Because you use both an LLC and a " corp," suffix, you may want to select one and register as an LLC or Corporation.

Since you say that you have 1 employee, you need both a federal EIN and a State EIN.

Finally, all businesses are required to get a business license, so you need to get one too.

Seller's Permit Requirements

Yes, you'll need a Seller's Permit if you're selling environmental products, equipment, or tangible goods. This permit allows you to collect sales tax from customers and purchase inventory without paying sales tax upfront. Think of it as your official "I'm allowed to charge you extra money" certificate.

Setting Up Your LLC and Seller Permit

Setting up an LLC involves filing Articles of Organization with your state and creating an Operating Agreement. The Seller's Permit is obtained separately through your state's tax authority. The LLC gives you legal protection, while the Seller's Permit handles your tax obligations – like Batman and Robin, but for paperwork.

LLC vs. S Corporation Tax Benefits

**LLC Benefits:**

✅ Pass-through taxation - profits flow directly to your personal tax return

✅ Flexible management structure

✅ No double taxation issues

✅ Easier record-keeping requirements

**LLC as S Corp Benefits:**

✅ Self-employment tax savings on profits above reasonable salary

✅ Still maintains LLC flexibility

✅ Can save thousands in Medicare and Social Security taxes

✅ Better for businesses with significant profits

📄

Business Name Registration and Entity Choice

You should register your business name and form an LLC or corporation for several reasons: **Protection:** An LLC shields your personal assets from business liabilities. Imagine accidentally contaminating someone's property – you'd want that wall between your business and your house! **Credibility:** "Joe's Cleanup Crew" sounds less professional than "EcoSolutions Environmental Services, LLC" **Tax Benefits:** LLCs offer various tax advantages and deductions not available to sole proprietors

**EIN (Employer Identification Number):** This is your business's Social Security number. You use it for:

✅ Opening business bank accounts

✅ Filing tax returns

✅ Hiring employees

✅ Applying for business licenses

✅ Setting up business credit

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

In addition you will need a federal and a state EIN if you will hire employees. I.e., a CA Federal Tax Id Number ($29) and a(n) CA 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 Sylmar, Incorporate in CA or form a(n) CA LLC .

Filing a DBA is not required if you will set up an LLC or form a Corporation. 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.

✔ Incorporation

If you do form an Services llc or incorporate (about $49 plus state fees for most states) your ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES business instead of just filing a fictitious business name (dba), that insurs that you don't have personal liability for debts and civile liabililty arising from your business dealings and you will not have to record the Sylmar business name. In lieu of recording a Los Angeles 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 CA or form an CA LLC (starts @ $49 plus state fee for most states & includes bylaws for the corporation and Limited Liability operating agreement for the LLC that is required to open a business bank account). .
