Q: I am opening a marketplace reselling business. Which licenses, permits and registrations may apply to me?
A: Welcome, think of this as a trail map for your marketplace reselling business. Not every marker applies to every traveler, so we check which ones are on your path.
1. Business license: A business license for an online marketplace reseller MAY ask what product categories you list, where inventory is stored, and whether goods ship from your address or a fulfillment warehouse. 2. Home occupation permit: A home occupation permit MAY apply if cartons, shipping labels and pallets of stock fill a garage, usually with limits on delivery trucks and employees working at the address. 3. Sales tax permit: A sales tax permit MAY be needed because marketplaces ask sellers for a permit number, and a resale certificate lets you buy inventory from suppliers without tax for resale. 4. Restricted category approval: Items such as supplements, cosmetics or children's products may need paperwork proving they meet safety requirements. 5. Supplier invoices file: Invoices showing where each product was sourced may be requested to prove authenticity. 6. Product liability insurance: Coverage proof is often demanded before a marketplace unlocks certain categories. 7. 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.
Find a niche like kitchen gadgets or pet toys and every five-star review compounds into steady reorders.

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.
