Madison Business License Example:
Q: I want to start a clothing business called Creative Culture. I want to base it from home and sell directly to people by hand and through online sales. I want to use Amazon services for shipping.
A: Hi Tahllon,Selling directly to people by hand and online adds up to a business license, a sales tax permit for both kinds of sale, and a home occupation permit for the home base. Using Amazon for shipping means your inventory sits in someone else's warehouse, and that does not remove the need for the sales tax permit; it often makes it more important. Wholesale clothing orders go smoothly with a resale certificate. We find out which of these apply to Creative Culture and fill out the applications. Here is the full map, item by item.
1. Business license: A business license for a clothing business MAY ask whether you sell in person or online, what garments you carry, and whether inventory sits at home or in rented space. 2. Home occupation permit: A home occupation permit MAY apply when garment bins and shipping supplies fill a room, normally with limits on walk-in shoppers, outdoor signs and delivery trucks. 3. Sales tax permit: A sales tax permit MAY be needed because clothing sold to buyers is usually taxable, and pop-up markets or social media sales still count as sales. 4. Resale certificate: A certificate may let you buy wholesale apparel without paying tax at purchase, provided you collect it when you resell. 5. Business name registration: A trade name filing may be needed if your brand differs from your own name, so customers and banks see the right owner. 6. Storage disclosure: A short description of where stock is kept may be asked for when inventory is held outside a shop. 7. Employer registration: With people on the payroll, you MAY also need an employer ID, a withholding account and workers' compensation coverage before the first paycheck. 8. Company papers: Depending on how you want to own and name the business, an LLC, a DBA or a tax ID number may come next; we prepare those too.

Q: What do I need to get a handmade jewelry business up and running legally?
A: Hello, here is the paperwork map for your handmade jewelry business. Every item says MAY, because what applies depends on how the business is set up, and sorting that out is our job.
1. Business license: A business license for a jewelry maker MAY ask what you craft, which metals and stones you work with, and whether customers ever visit or everything ships from a workbench. 2. Home occupation permit: A home occupation permit MAY apply if torches, tumblers or tools run in a spare room, usually with limits on noise, fumes, visiting buyers and parcel pickups. 3. Sales tax permit: A sales tax permit MAY be needed because bracelets, earrings and rings are taxable goods, and marketplace sales, craft shows and shipped orders each follow their own tax rules. 4. Precious metal marking: Pieces sold as gold or silver may need accurate quality stamps and honest labeling under rules that vary by metal. 5. Landlord clearance statement: A signed note from a landlord or homeowners group saying a studio at home is acceptable may be asked for. 6. Supplier invoices: Receipts for gemstones and findings may be requested to show the materials are legitimately sourced. 7. Company papers: A DBA, an LLC or a tax ID number MAY make sense for your handmade jewelry business, and we prepare all of these documents on this site, so everything can be ordered in one place.
