Q: What licenses and permits might I need to start a home goods store?
A: Welcome, this is the list that goes with a home goods store. Nothing here is a guess: it is the paperwork a business like yours commonly meets, and we sort out which pieces are yours.
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. Employer registration: A team means MORE forms: an employer ID, payroll registration and proof of workers' compensation coverage may be asked for. 8. Company papers: Name registration, LLC formation and a tax ID number are the three companions most owners add; we prepare each of them on this site.
Home goods let you turn living rooms into scenes, and soft linens, scented candles and warm wood make shoppers want to take everything home.

Matilda propped a mirror against the wall for Driftwood & Dove Home and finished her license form while a rug dried beside her.

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.
