Q: Which licenses and permits should I expect for a handmade jewelry and beading supply business?
A: Good to meet you, think of this as a trail map for Freer Concepts. Not every marker applies to every traveler, so we check which ones are on your path.
1. Business license: A business license for a handmade jewelry and beading supply business MAY ask what you craft, what materials you use, and whether you sell finished pieces, supplies or both. 2. Home occupation permit: A home occupation permit MAY apply when a bench, tools and beads sit in your home, usually limiting torch or kiln use, delivery volume, customer visits and signs. 3. Sales tax permit: A sales tax permit MAY be needed because finished jewelry and bead kits are taxable sales, and a resale certificate lets you buy findings and stones at wholesale. 4. Precious metal marking compliance: Selling items described as silver or gold MAY require that marks and descriptions match the real content. 5. Materials statement: A list of metals and stones used, particularly for nickel-sensitive customers, may be requested. 6. Wholesale supplier file: Invoices from bead and findings suppliers support your resale certificate. 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.

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.
