Q: Which licenses and permits should I expect for a home goods store?
A: Welcome, let us walk through what your home goods store may need, piece by piece, so nothing surprises you on opening day.
1. Business license: A business license for a home goods seller MAY ask what décor and furnishings you carry, whether items are new or secondhand, and how bulky stock is stored. 2. Home occupation permit: A home occupation permit MAY apply to storing décor at home, with limits on delivery trucks, large shipments, visiting buyers and outdoor displays. 3. Sales tax permit: A sales tax permit MAY be needed because furnishings and décor are taxable, and large pieces delivered to buyers can add extra reporting. 4. Product safety labeling: Items such as candles, textiles and children's furniture may need proper labels and safety statements. 5. Landlord clearance statement: A signed note allowing home-based inventory of bulky items may be requested. 6. Supplier invoices: Receipts from wholesalers or makers may be requested. 7. 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.
People redecorate every season, so your inventory stays fresh and customers return for the next throw pillow.

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.
