Q: I am starting a crafting business doing T-shirts and selling them. Do I need an LLC or just an EIN to sell my items and to order through wholesale?
A: Hi Elsamer,An EIN identifies a business, an LLC shapes it, and neither one is the permit that lets you buy wholesale. What opens wholesale accounts is a resale certificate, which comes with a sales tax permit, and what lets you sell is a business license. An LLC is optional and mostly about separating personal and business liability, while an EIN is needed once you have employees; with three, you will want one. A home occupation permit MAY apply to crafting at home. We find out which of these apply to SuperDuper Boutique LLC and fill out the applications. Here is the full map, item by item.
1. Business license: A business license for a crafting business MAY ask what items you produce, the methods you use, and whether you sell wholesale to shops, retail to buyers, or workshops to guests. 2. Home occupation permit: A home occupation permit MAY apply if classes or pickups take place at home, usually limiting how many guests may arrive at once, parking on the street, and tools that make noise. 3. Sales tax permit: A sales tax permit MAY be needed because crafts and kits are taxable on sale, and a resale certificate helps when you buy raw materials in bulk. 4. Class participant waiver: If you teach workshops, a signed waiver for each guest using tools or hot materials may be kept on file. 5. Insurance certificate: A certificate covering products and workshop guests is often requested by venues and event organizers. 6. Employer registration: Hiring changes the list: an employer account, payroll tax setup and workers' compensation insurance MAY join the pile before day one. 7. Company papers: A DBA, an LLC or a tax ID number MAY make sense for SuperDuper Boutique LLC, and we prepare all of these documents on this site, so everything can be ordered in one place.
Handmade pieces sell year round as gifts, wedding favors and holiday decor, and kits and classes add a second stream of income.

Q: I make t-shirts, cups and plates and will sell them through family and friends, who will tell their friends about it.
A: Good to meet you,Word of mouth is the oldest advertising there is, and it works beautifully for custom shirts and mugs. Even a small circle of friends still counts as retail sales. You MAY need a business license, a home occupation permit if you make things at home, and a sales tax permit. A resale certificate helps with blank shirts and cups. Plates and cups that touch food can carry safety rules, which is worth knowing early. We find out which of these apply to Kreationz and prepare the applications for you. Here is the full map, item by item.

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.
