| just looking to find out the Handmade Creations permits I need an licenses I will be an at Home and online business Handmade Creations selling in state through my Instagram and website on Shopify.How Much Does A Resale License Cost? How Do I Buy Wholesale Items.
A: Hi Rose, the resale license costs $39 plus state fees if any. You will need the resale license to buy wholesale items, just obtain a wholesale permit also called a seller's permit or seller's license. When you obtain a wholesale license, it comes with a resale certificate which you can fill out with your business information and the wholesale number ID that is on your wholesale license, and present it to the wholesale vendor so you can buy items and merchandise wholesale. For Handmade Creations business, you need a business license, a seller's permit, and a DBA, LLC
, or Corporation because these last 3 items, anyone of these can register your business name and select the structure of your business. So, the fictitious business name "Toxic@S Kreations," must be registered with a dba, LLC
, or corporation. On the other hand, if you hire Retail Handmade Creations employees you will need the federal EIN as well as the state EIN. |
| Business Licensing Information. All sewing businesses need a Business License
. If you sell any merchandise, you may want to obtain a resale ID first. Then all businesses are legally required to get a Business License
. In addition, if you use a sewing 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 sewing state employment taxes i.e., get a state identification number. Finally, corporate entities are more prestigious so though you may need to register a DBA Doing Business As you may want to consider becoming a sewing corporation or limited liability company. |

In addition note that in
TN
you may also need a seller's permit if you sell merchandise that is taxable.
(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 TN Federal Tax Id Number ($29) and a(n) TN State Employer Tax Number
Instead of filing a fictitious business name DBA Filing (about $49 plus state and legal newspaper publication fees) in
Knoxville, Incorporate in TN or form a(n) TN LLC .
You have a choice to file a DBA or form an LLC or incorporate.
There is a cicrcumstance that you may not need to register a trade name and that is when you use your full name as a business name if you use your full legal name as a trade 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 Home Business llc or incorporate (about $49 plus state fees for most states) your Sewing 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 Knoxville business name.
Instead of just registering your Knox County assumed business name (our fee includes assumed business name registration and legal newspaper publication) you can choose to setup a corporation in
TN or form an TN 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). .
