Q: Before I open a small business, what paperwork may I need?
A: Hello, here is the paperwork map for L7L Boutique. 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 small business MAY ask for a short description of what you sell or do, whether you serve customers at a premises or from home, and your business name. 2. Home occupation permit: A home occupation permit MAY apply if you run orders from a spare room, usually with limits on customer visits, stock storage, parked vehicles and any sign on the house. 3. Sales tax permit: A sales tax permit MAY be needed if you sell products, since taxable sales, resale certificates for wholesale buying and online orders each raise their own rules. 4. Specialty permit: Depending on what you end up selling, an additional permit for that product or activity may be required. 5. Business description letter: A short written summary of exactly what the business does may be requested to match the correct license class. 6. Proof of insurance: A certificate of liability coverage may be asked for before approval. 7. Company papers: A DBA, an LLC or a tax ID number MAY make sense for L7L Boutique, and we prepare all of these documents on this site, so everything can be ordered in one place.

Q: I sell fancy car seat products or fluids, home essentials and more. I actually want a building for it but I don't have one yet, so I am selling in person until I finish my online website.
A: Hi Kendra,Car seat products, fluids and home essentials all travel through a cash register, which is why a sales tax permit is the first license on your list. In-person sales before the website is built can call for a business license and, if you sell from a table or vehicle, a temporary vendor permit. Automotive fluids sometimes come with handling and labeling rules, and a resale certificate saves you tax on wholesale stock. When the building arrives, an occupancy or fire-safety sign-off will join the pile. We find out which of these apply to Landry's Home & Auto Interior and fill out the applications. Here is the full map, item by item.

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.
