Medford Business License Example:
Q: I sell from my home business and online store, and I will ship nationwide. I buy items wholesale online and resell them at retail, using Alibaba, Amazon, eBay and a few others. I have my EIN, but what else do I need so everything is legitimate?
A: Hi Ashley,With the EIN already in hand, the next pieces are a business license for the home-based shop, a home occupation permit because orders are packed and shipped from your residence, and a sales tax permit, since you buy wholesale and sell at retail. That same permit lets you hand a resale certificate to your suppliers. One brief caution: adult novelty items carry age rules, so everything should stay lawful and sold to adults only. We find out which of these apply to Leo's Closet and fill out the applications, so legit becomes in order. Here is the full map, item by item.
1. Business license: A business license for an adult toy and lingerie business MAY ask what products you sell, whether you have a shop or sell online only, and how customer age is confirmed. 2. Home occupation permit: A home occupation permit MAY apply to online sales run from a spare room, usually with limits on stock storage, visible signage, deliveries and customers visiting the house. 3. Sales tax permit: A sales tax permit MAY be needed because adult products and lingerie are taxable goods, and a resale certificate lets you buy stock from wholesalers without paying tax. 4. Adult retail restrictions: Selling adult products may carry rules about display, hours and where such a business may operate. 5. Age verification practices: Online sellers may need to confirm that buyers are adults before shipping. 6. Discreet shipping policy: A written description of plain packaging and privacy practices may be requested. 7. Supplier list: A list of wholesalers and manufacturers may be asked for to back up your resale certificate. 8. 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. 9. 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.
