A business license is a registration with the local government for two purposes.

1. Certifying that your business is legal as planned.

2. Registering as designed with the local government for local taxes.

A Proffesional license serves the same dual purpose, but at the state level, as well as an additional purpose. Every proffesion requiring a proffesional license is required to have the form provided by the state hanging in the open. This is not necessarily true of a business license.

Indiana law requires that businesses that sell beauty products obtain an Indiana business license.  The license from the State of Indiana is called a seller's permit but you also need an Indiana business license from you city.

In addition, to sell beauty products, you will need a proffesional license issued from the state itself by the appropriate board. As such, you will need to obtain two seperate filings.

You need An Indiana Business License, and an Indiana cosmetologist license. An IN DBA and an Indiana Seller's Permit.

All Indiana businesses selling beauty products 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 beauty products which are taxable items, you need a an Indiana Seller's License.

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, after you get an Indiana business license, forming an Indian LLC is a good choice.

Without a business license, a business faces late taxes, penalties, fines, audits, a wide range of misdemeanor charges, as well as outright police closure.

Without a professional license, a business faces charges from the state itself, in addition to the previously stated difficulties arising from the absence of a business license.
