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.
Because shoppers prefer discretion, a polished online shop with discreet shipping can build a loyal, repeat clientele.

Tip: Keep customer records private and secure, and use plain packaging on every outgoing parcel.
Good to know: Selling adult products is lawful only for adult buyers, and extra rules about display, advertising and shipping may apply.
The only thing more discreet than the packaging is the owner's family dinner conversation.

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.
