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.
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. 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.
