1. Business license: A business license for a home merchandise seller MAY ask what items you sell, whether you source them wholesale or make them, and whether sales are online, in person or both. 2. Home occupation permit: A home occupation permit MAY apply to storing and shipping inventory from home, with limits on visitors, deliveries, noise and outdoor displays. 3. Sales tax permit: A sales tax permit MAY be needed because merchandise sales are taxable, and nationwide online orders can follow different tax rules depending on the buyer. 4. Vendor permit for markets: Selling at boutiques, fairs or pop-up sales may need a temporary vendor permit. 5. Landlord clearance statement: A signed note that selling from home is permitted may be asked for. 6. Wholesale account papers: Suppliers often request registration proof before selling to you at wholesale. 7. Employer registration: With people on the payroll, you MAY also need an employer ID, a withholding account and workers' compensation coverage before the first paycheck. 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.

Q: I run a home business selling merchandise nationwide through an online boutique. What are the requirements?
A: Hi Rubia,Picture the first order leaving your kitchen table in a padded envelope: that parcel is why a sales tax permit matters, since your boutique sells goods and buyers in certain places may owe tax on them. You will also want a business license and, because you work from home, a home occupation permit that confirms the spare room is not a storefront. If you buy stock wholesale, a resale certificate keeps you from paying tax twice on it. Beauty products can add their own labeling or cosmetic rules. We find out which of these apply to Beauty By Rubi and fill out the applications. Here is the full map, item by item.
