Q: I just want to start a legit business with all the accurate paperwork and forms I need. I am seeking knowledge so that I can cover myself and my business financially. I have an LLC. I want to buy wholesale, so I need a seller's permit and a business privilege license.
A: Hi Amira,With the LLC already in place, the rest is a short list that makes it work. A seller's permit is the sales tax permit, and it also serves as the resale certificate wholesalers ask for, so one filing gives you both. The business privilege license is the business license, and it describes the clothing line. Six employees add payroll registration and workers' insurance. If the line starts at home, a home occupation permit may apply. We find out which of these apply to Amazing Humandeing LLC and fill out the applications. Here is the full map, item by item.
1. Business license: A business license for a custom clothing line MAY ask whether garments are made to order, who sews or prints them, and how you take orders from buyers. 2. Home occupation permit: A home occupation permit MAY apply when patterns, fabric and a sewing machine fill a spare room, usually limiting fitting appointments, noisy equipment, parked delivery vans and street-facing signs. 3. Sales tax permit: A sales tax permit MAY be needed because custom garments are taxable sales, and fabric or trims bought for the pieces you make may be purchased with a resale certificate. 4. Garment labeling number: Sewing a brand label with fiber content into your pieces MAY require a registered identification number. 5. Customer order agreement: A written order form stating measurements, deposit and delivery date may be asked for with the application. 6. Landlord clearance statement: A signed note confirming that sewing at your residence is allowed may be requested. 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: Name registration, LLC formation and a tax ID number are the three companions most owners add; we prepare each of them on this site.
A custom garment that fits perfectly is a small miracle, and the whisper of a good wool drape or the scent of pressed linen makes clients loyal for life.

Tip: Take written measurements and sign them with the client at every fitting, which prevents most disagreements about fit.

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.
