You need A Business License, A DBA and A Seller's Permit. **************** All businesses are required to obtain a business license, so you need: 1. A Business License. 2. You are not using your last name in your business name so you will need to file a DBA business name certificates, and 3. Since you are selling taxable items, you need a Seller's Permit. NOTE: You don’t need a seller’s permit if your business is located in Alaska, Oregon or New Hampshire - In these states, you can use a federal tax id number instead of a resellers / seller’s permit number. However, if your business is located in any of these states (Michigan, Georgia, New York, Maryland and Nevada, you will need to obtain a Federal Tax Id, in addition to a Sellers Permit. It’s recommended that instead of a DBA certificate, you may want to incorporate of form an LLC to protect your personal assets from transactions arising out of business transactions. In general, forming an LLC is a good choose.
