Q: I am starting my own business selling lingerie from home. I will sell to the public through an online page, and if it goes well, open a store of my own.
A: Hi Linda,Lingerie is ordinary apparel as far as the paperwork goes, and plain permits apply. You MAY need a business license, a home occupation permit for the home start, and a sales tax permit for online sales. A resale certificate lets you buy from wholesalers without paying tax twice. If the store follows, add a certificate of occupancy for the space. Fit samples or returns of intimate wear can raise hygiene labeling points. We find out which of these are needed here and fill out the applications. Here is the full map, item by item.
1. Business license: A business license for a lingerie shop MAY ask whether you sell online or in person, what brands and sizes you carry and where inventory is stored. 2. Home occupation permit: A home occupation permit MAY apply if stock and packing supplies are kept at home, typically with limits on customer visits, discreet signage and delivery traffic. 3. Sales tax permit: A sales tax permit MAY be needed because intimate apparel is generally taxable, and wholesale purchases from labels call for a resale certificate. 4. Wholesale supplier account: Brands may ask for proof of a registered business before approving a retailer account. 5. Return policy statement: Because intimates are often final-sale for hygiene reasons, a written return policy may be requested. 6. Supplier invoice file: Invoices from the brands you buy from may be needed to prove stock is for resale. 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.
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.
