Q: I sell from home and online, hopefully worldwide, through Shopify, Instagram, Facebook and in person. I sell lingerie online.
A: Welcome,Lingerie is ordinary retail, but selling worldwide adds a layer, since shipping abroad comes with customs forms and different buyer rules. At home, you MAY need a business license, a home occupation permit for the stock and the packing table, and a sales tax permit for orders shipped to customers at home. A resale certificate lets you buy from wholesalers without paying tax first. In-person sales at pop-ups can need a temporary vendor permit. We find out which of these apply to Blu Dreamz and fill out the applications. Here is the full map, item by item.
1. Business license: A business license for a lingerie shop MAY ask whether you sell online or in person, what categories you carry, whether items are shipped from home, and how buyers' ages are confirmed. 2. Home occupation permit: A home occupation permit MAY apply when intimate apparel stock and parcels fill a spare room, normally with limits on pickups, visitors and signs advertising the business. 3. Sales tax permit: A sales tax permit MAY be needed because lingerie sales are taxable, and wholesale buying with a resale certificate keeps tax from being paid twice. 4. Adult merchandise registration: Selling adult-oriented products alongside lingerie may require a separate registration or restrictions on advertising and shipping. 5. Age verification procedure: A written method for confirming buyers are adults may be requested when adult items are in the catalog. 6. Discreet packaging statement: A short description of how parcels are marked and shipped 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: 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.

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.
