Q: I am looking to buy lingerie at wholesale and sell it to others.
A: Hi Breanna,Lingerie bought by the dozen and sold one box at a time is a classic resale business with a gift-wrapped finish. A resale certificate is the first tool, letting you buy wholesale without tax, followed by a sales tax permit for what you sell and a business license for Foxy's Box. If orders are shipped from home, a home occupation permit MAY apply. Return policies and hygiene labeling for intimate items are worth settling early. We find out which of these really apply, then fill out every application. Here is the full map, item by item.
1. Business license: A business license for a lingerie shop MAY ask whether you sell online or in person, what brands and sizes you carry and where inventory is stored. 2. Home occupation permit: A home occupation permit MAY apply if stock and packing supplies are kept at home, typically with limits on customer visits, discreet signage and delivery traffic. 3. Sales tax permit: A sales tax permit MAY be needed because intimate apparel is generally taxable, and wholesale purchases from labels call for a resale certificate. 4. Wholesale supplier account: Brands may ask for proof of a registered business before approving a retailer account. 5. Return policy statement: Because intimates are often final-sale for hygiene reasons, a written return policy may be requested. 6. Supplier invoice file: Invoices from the brands you buy from may be needed to prove stock is for resale. 7. Employer registration: A team means MORE forms: an employer ID, payroll registration and proof of workers' compensation coverage may be asked for. 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.
