Q: Before I open a small business, what paperwork may I need?
A: Good to meet you, think of this as a trail map for your small business. Not every marker applies to every traveler, so we check which ones are on your path.
1. Business license: A business license for a general small business MAY ask for a short description of the work you do, the address you operate from, and whether you sell goods or services. 2. Home occupation permit: A home occupation permit MAY apply if you run the business from a residence, usually limiting visiting customers, deliveries, employees on site, signs and stored supplies. 3. Sales tax permit: A sales tax permit MAY be needed for taxable goods you sell, and a resale certificate lets you purchase stock from suppliers without paying tax on those purchases. 4. Proof of liability insurance: A certificate showing coverage for customer claims or damage is often attached. 5. Business address statement: A signed note confirming where your records and mail are kept may be requested. 6. Company papers: A DBA, an LLC or a tax ID number MAY make sense for your small business, and we prepare all of these documents on this site, so everything can be ordered in one place.
A little business with a mixed bag of ideas lets you try things quickly, and the smell of the first batch of anything you make is good luck.

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.
