Q: What licenses and permits might I need to start a used car dealership?
A: Hello, here is the paperwork map for your used car dealership. 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 used car dealership MAY ask about your lot, the number of vehicles on display, whether you buy at auctions, and how titles and sales records are kept. 2. Sales tax permit: A sales tax permit MAY be needed because vehicle sales are taxable transactions, and some places collect the tax at registration, so the dealer paperwork shows exactly how it is handled. 3. Dealer license: Selling vehicles to the public MAY require a dealer license with a bonded lot and a set of sales records. 4. Auction access registration: Buying cars at dealer-only auctions MAY call for a registered dealer number. 5. Surety bond: A bond protecting buyers against title problems is very commonly attached to the dealer application. 6. Lot and signage clearance: A confirmation that the lot is permitted for vehicle sales and display may be requested. 7. 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.

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.
