Q: I want to sell from home, online and on Etsy. I just want to branch out and start something different at home so I can have more time for my family and myself.
A: Hello,Wanting more hours at home is exactly what a home-based shop is for, and the paperwork is lighter than most people fear. You MAY need a business license, a home occupation permit for running the shop from your house, and a sales tax permit since clothing sales are taxable. Etsy sales come with their own reporting, so a clean set of records helps. Buying stock wholesale calls for a resale certificate, and with two employees, payroll registration may apply. We find out which of these apply to Rai'Lee's Kollection and fill out the applications. Here is the full map, item by item.
1. Business license: A business license for a retail clothing shop MAY ask what categories of apparel you sell, whether the shop has a street front, and the number of racks and registers. 2. Home occupation permit: A home occupation permit MAY apply for an online or by-appointment clothing business at home, usually with limits on shopper visits, signage and boxes stored in living rooms. 3. Sales tax permit: A sales tax permit MAY be needed because clothing you sell is generally taxable at the register, and a resale certificate lets you buy from vendors without paying tax on inventory. 4. Garment labeling rules: Items sold under your own brand may need fabric content and care labels attached. 5. Landlord approval: A signed note from the building owner allowing retail clothing use of the unit may be requested. 6. Fire clearance walk-through: Exits, extinguishers and the spacing of racks may be checked before opening. 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: 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: I have a thrift store in a building, selling nice clothes and other things for people, including electronics, furniture and TVs.
A: Hi Ronkee,A thrift store with clothes, electronics, furniture and TVs is a treasure hunt, and each category brings its own check. A business license and a sales tax permit cover the sales, a secondhand dealer registration is common for used goods, and a certificate of occupancy covers the building. Electronics sometimes need records of where items came from, and used furniture may need labeling about stuffing. Insurance matters with a shop full of customers. We find out which of these apply to Million Dollar Deals and fill out the applications. Here is the full map, item by item.

You can start selling the moment the paperwork is approved, and the price is entirely yours: you decide your own markup, and tax is added at the register.
The set to start with is a business license, a sales tax permit, a resale certificate for your wholesalers, a DBA for the boutique name and, if your living room is the showroom, a home occupation permit. Several partners together are best placed in an LLC.
If you order a business license and it turns out you also need another one, such as a home occupation permit, we obtain both for the service fee of the business license. The govt's annual tax and application fees are separate and not included; we find the applications and fill them out for you.
The first step is the company: form an LLC, then get the business license and the EIN. A general contractor license MAY be required for construction work, so we confirm whether your jobs are large enough to need it.
Your consulting is a separate line. Helping clients pick technology usually needs only the business license, but clinical services would need a professional license, so keep them apart. A seller's permit is needed if you resell equipment.
