Q: I am opening an online resale shop. Which licenses, permits and registrations may apply to me?
A: Good to meet you, here is the paperwork map for Mark. 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 resale operation MAY ask what kinds of used or overstock items you handle, where stock is stored, and whether you buy from the public or only from sellers. 2. Home occupation permit: A home occupation permit MAY look at pallets stacked in a garage, delivery trucks pulling up, buyers collecting orders and boxes piling up outside. 3. Sales tax permit: A sales tax permit MAY be required because resold items are taxable, and a resale certificate often lets you buy liquidation lots without paying tax twice. 4. Secondhand dealer registration: Businesses that buy used goods from the public may need to log sellers and hold items for a waiting period. 5. Purchase receipts: Invoices for each pallet or lot may be requested to show where stock came from. 6. Landlord clearance statement: A signed note that storing stock at home is acceptable may accompany the application. 7. Company papers: A DBA, an LLC or a tax ID number MAY make sense for Mark, and we prepare all of these documents on this site, so everything can be ordered in one place.
Opening a mystery pallet is treasure hunting with cardboard dust in the air, and the crinkle of bubble wrap around a bargain never gets old.

Q: I run a home based clothing boutique where I sell clothing and accessories to family and friends, hopefully branching out to sell online.
A: Hi Miriam,Selling to family and friends still counts as selling, and it is the easiest time to set up properly. A business license, a home occupation permit and a sales tax permit are the foundation, with a resale certificate if you buy wholesale. When you branch out online, the same permit carries over to website orders. Trying on clothes in your living room may raise insurance questions. We find out which of these apply and fill out the applications, so the next step to selling online is smooth. 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.
