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.
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. 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.

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.
