Q: I run an online clothing boutique shipping across the country. I sell unique items in limited quantity and will not restock old items.
A: Hi Chaquanzha,Limited drops create a certain urgency, and the paperwork should be ready before the first one sells out. You MAY need a business license, a sales tax permit covering every order shipped across the country, and a resale certificate when you buy pieces wholesale. If the stock is packed at home, a home occupation permit applies. Since each item is one of a kind, keeping clean purchase records makes the permits easier to maintain. We find out which of these apply to Noir Blanc & Co and fill out the applications. Here is the full map, item by item.
1. Business license: A business license for an online clothing store MAY ask for a business address, a description of the apparel you sell, whether you hold stock yourself, and how orders are shipped. 2. Home occupation permit: A home occupation permit MAY apply if packages, hangers and shipping supplies take over a spare room, typically limiting delivery trucks, walk-in customers and outdoor signage. 3. Sales tax permit: A sales tax permit MAY be needed because clothing sold online to buyers in many places is taxable, and a resale certificate lets you buy from wholesalers without paying tax up front. 4. Dropshipping registration: If another company ships the goods for you, you MAY be asked to document the supplier relationship on your sales tax forms. 5. Wholesale supplier letter: A short letter or invoice from your clothing supplier can show that your goods are bought for resale. 6. Business address confirmation: A signed statement of the address used for returns and records may be requested. 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: A DBA, an LLC or a tax ID number MAY make sense for Noir Blanc & Co, and we prepare all of these documents on this site, so everything can be ordered in one place.
Online shoppers scroll fashion at midnight, tap a size and see a package at the door a few days later, which makes this a business that sleeps when you do.

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.
