Q: Which licenses and permits should I expect for a greeting card and gift shop?
A: Good to meet you, think of this as a trail map for Noam Card Store. Not every marker applies to every traveler, so we check which ones are on your path.
1. Business license: A business license for a greeting card and gift shop MAY ask what cards and gifts you carry, the shop address, your hours and whether you offer personalized printing. 2. Home occupation permit: A home occupation permit MAY apply to an online card shop run from home, usually limiting shoppers visiting, deliveries, shelves of stock in view and signs. 3. Sales tax permit: A sales tax permit MAY be needed because cards, wrap and small gifts are taxable, and buying from publishers and artists calls for a resale certificate. 4. Vendor account paperwork: Applications with card publishers and distributors usually include your business license and tax number. 5. Zoning clearance letter: A short confirmation that retail sales are allowed at your shop address may be requested. 6. Employer registration: Hiring changes the list: an employer account, payroll tax setup and workers' compensation insurance MAY join the pile before day one. 7. 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.
