Merchantville Business License Example:
Q: I make handmade jewelry from home. My jewelry will be sold online to customers worldwide, primarily on Etsy.
A: Hi Jamie,Beads on a tray at the kitchen table and a buyer far away on Etsy: that is the whole business in one picture. You MAY need a business license, a home occupation permit for the workspace, and a sales tax permit covering your Etsy sales. A resale certificate lets you buy findings, beads and chains wholesale without paying tax on supplies you turn into products. Worldwide shipping adds customs forms but not new permits. We sort out which of these your business needs and handle the application forms. Here is the full map, item by item.
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. Employer registration: Hiring changes the list: an employer account, payroll tax setup and workers' compensation insurance MAY join the pile before day one. 8. 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.
