Q: What licenses and permits might I need to start a small business?
A: Good to meet you, here is the paperwork map for your small business. Every item says MAY, because what applies depends on how the business is set up, and sorting that out is our job.
1. Business license: A business license for a general small business MAY ask for a plain description of what you sell or do, how customers reach you, and whether you have a separate workspace. 2. Home occupation permit: A home occupation permit MAY apply when a small enterprise runs from a house, often limiting customer visits, deliveries, signs, stored stock and the number of people working on site. 3. Sales tax permit: A sales tax permit MAY be required whenever goods change hands, and it is often what lets you buy inventory wholesale without paying tax twice. 4. Seller's registration: Selling taxable goods may require registering as a seller so receipts can be reported on a regular schedule. 5. Business plan summary: A short written description of what you offer, who buys it and how you get paid may be asked for. 6. Proof of address: A utility bill or lease showing where the business operates may be requested. 7. Company papers: A DBA, an LLC or a tax ID number MAY make sense for your small business, and we prepare all of these documents on this site, so everything can be ordered in one place.

Q: I want to sell goods in a store. I want to bring goods from Turkey and sell them in the US. What do I need to do first?
A: Hi Christian,First, the business itself: the license that lets you sell, and a sales tax permit for the goods that cross your counter. Importing adds a step, since goods arriving from abroad often need an importer registration and the right customs paperwork, and some products have labeling rules. A resale certificate lets you buy from suppliers without paying tax on stock. A store also needs a lease and a certificate of occupancy. We find out which of these apply to Arzu Selling and fill out the applications. Here is the full map, item by item.
