Salt Lake City Business License Example:
Q: I specialize in making fresh flower crowns, also known as haku lei po'o, using fresh flowers. I prep and cut all types of flowers and green foliage to create beautiful flower crowns perfect for any occasion.
A: Hi Marina,A fresh flower crown is a few hours of living material, so freshness is your whole business. You MAY need a business license, a sales tax permit since these are taxable sales, and a resale certificate when you buy blooms and foliage wholesale. Prepping flowers at home may call for a home occupation permit, and delivering to events can bring a vehicle question. Some places also treat a florist as a regulated trade, which we check. We find out which of these apply to MT Floral Art and fill out the applications. Here is the full map, item by item.
1. Business license: A business license for a floral designer MAY ask whether you sell arrangements retail, handle wedding and event orders, and whether you keep a studio or cooler at your address. 2. Home occupation permit: A home occupation permit MAY apply if flowers are cut and arranged at home, typically with limits on deliveries, buyer visits, refrigeration units and outdoor displays. 3. Sales tax permit: A sales tax permit MAY be needed because arrangements are taxable goods, and a resale certificate often covers wholesale flower buying. 4. Event vendor registration: Setting up flowers at weddings and events may require registration or insurance proof requested by the venue. 5. Wholesale flower account: Wholesale suppliers usually ask for proof of a registered business before opening an account. 6. Delivery vehicle record: A short description of the vehicle that carries arrangements may be requested. 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 MT Floral Art, and we prepare all of these documents on this site, so everything can be ordered in one place.
