Q: I sell apparel, jewelry, accessories and clothing online from my home, nationwide, on my personal website.
A: Hi Jama,When your website is the shop window, your spare room becomes the stockroom, and the paperwork should match. A business license for the apparel and accessories brand, and a home occupation permit for the home based operation. A sales tax permit covers orders on your personal website, and a resale certificate lets you buy from wholesalers without tax on inventory. Shipping nationwide can add tax registrations later, and with two employees you also need payroll registrations and workers' compensation coverage in place. From there we sort out which ones fit LJ Designs and prepare every application for you. Here is the full map, item by item.
1. Business license: A business license for an apparel and accessories shop MAY ask about your sales floor size, the lines you carry, and whether you also sell online. 2. Home occupation permit: A home occupation permit MAY apply to a small home-run version, normally restricting customer visits, displayed signs and deliveries of stock. 3. Sales tax permit: A sales tax permit MAY be needed because clothing and accessories are generally taxable, and buying from brands at wholesale typically calls for a resale certificate. 4. Vendor permits for markets: Pop-ups and festivals may require a temporary vendor permit each time you set up a table. 5. Signed lease: A rental agreement or ownership proof for the shop space may go with the application. 6. Fire safety clearance: A check of exits and stockroom storage may be required for a customer-facing shop. 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.
Accessories are small, easy to ship and impulse-friendly, so each customer tends to leave with an extra item in the bag.

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.
