A: Hi Violet, good news: a home staging and interiors business is a well-trodden road, and we know its signposts. Each item below MAY apply to you, and we find out which ones do.
1. Business license: A business license for a home staging and interiors business MAY ask whether you stage homes for sale, decorate for owners, rent furniture, and store pieces for upcoming projects. 2. Home occupation permit: A home occupation permit MAY apply for a design studio at home, usually limiting visiting clients, stored furniture and decor, delivery trucks and signs. 3. Sales tax permit: A sales tax permit MAY be needed when you sell furnishings or decor to clients, and a resale certificate lets you buy from trade suppliers without paying tax up front. 4. Furniture storage agreement: If staging furniture is kept in a rented unit, a copy of the rental agreement may be requested. 5. Client staging contract: A written agreement describing the rooms, rental length and care of furniture helps avoid confusion. 6. 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. 7. Company papers: A DBA, an LLC or a tax ID number MAY make sense for your home staging and interiors business, and we prepare all of these documents on this site, so everything can be ordered in one place.
