Q: I am a small tie dye business wanting a small shop to sell my tie dye clothing, and once I have a shop I want to start selling online.
A: Hi Lisa,Swirls of dye on cotton make a lovely storefront window, and the paperwork behind it comes in two stages. For the shop itself you MAY need a business license, a certificate confirming the space can be used for retail, and a sales tax permit for every shirt sold. Since you make the clothing from blank garments, a resale certificate lets you buy those blanks without tax. Dye waste water can come with disposal rules, and online selling later simply extends the same sales tax permit. Our job is to work out which of these apply to Lisa's Tie Dye and complete each application on your behalf. Here is the full map, item by item.
1. Business license: A business license for a social media clothing shop MAY ask what you sell, whether it is new or secondhand, and whether orders are packed at home or at a rented space. 2. Home occupation permit: A home occupation permit MAY apply when live sale racks, steamers and mailers take over a bedroom, often with rules about foot traffic, signage and cartons stacked outside. 3. Sales tax permit: A sales tax permit MAY be needed since each hoodie or sundress sold in a live post is a taxable sale, and marketplace sellers often still need their own number. 4. Secondhand dealer registration: Reselling used garments may call for a dealer registration that records what you buy and from whom. 5. Inventory log: A simple list of where each batch of clothing was bought, kept for review, may be asked for with the application. 6. Fire safety statement: Heavy racks and steamers at home may require a short statement that exits and outlets stay clear. 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 Lisa's Tie Dye, and we prepare all of these documents on this site, so everything can be ordered in one place.
A side gig with hangers and a phone camera costs little to start, and the soft thud of a full mailer hitting the porch is addictive.

A chargeback dispute over a pile of undelivered orders could otherwise come after your own bank account.
Business code (NAICS): 458110 (Clothing and Clothing Accessories Retailers), formerly 448140 (Family Clothing Stores). This page lists 8 paperwork items for a social media clothing shop, and each one is marked as something you MAY need, since we confirm which apply.
Tip: Label bags with the buyer's name before you pack; mixing up two orders is how reviews turn spicy.
Live sales are the only auctions where everyone yells mine and nobody owns a gavel.
Ready when you are: start your order and we will find out what applies to Lisa's Tie Dye, fill out the applications and keep the paperwork moving.

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.
