Q: What licenses and permits might I need to start a crystal shop?
A: Good to meet you, let us walk through what your crystal shop may need, piece by piece, so nothing surprises you on opening day.
1. Business license: A business license for a crystal shop MAY ask what stones, jewelry and gift items you sell, whether you sell at markets or online, and how stock is stored. 2. Home occupation permit: A home occupation permit MAY apply when stones and shipping supplies are kept at home, usually with limits on customers visiting, deliveries and boxes left outside. 3. Sales tax permit: A sales tax permit MAY be needed because crystals, jewelry and gifts are taxable goods, and a resale certificate lets you buy by the pound from wholesalers. 4. Market vendor registration: Selling at fairs and metaphysical expos may require a vendor registration for each event. 5. Supplier invoices: Wholesale invoices for stones and jewelry may be requested to support a resale certificate. 6. Stock storage note: A short statement of where inventory is kept and shipped from may accompany a home application. 7. Employer registration: Hiring changes the list: an employer account, payroll tax setup and workers' compensation insurance MAY join the pile before day one. 8. 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.
Gifts, collections and home decor all use stones, so customers keep returning to find a favorite.

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.
