    Basic Business Structure and Tax Requirements


    For an Amazon reselling business, you'll need an EIN (Employer Identification Number), which functions as your business's tax ID - think of it as a Social Security number for your business. This number is essential for tax reporting, opening business bank accounts, and managing vendor relationships. While sole proprietorship is the simplest structure, an LLC offers personal asset protection and professional credibility, separating your personal finances from business operations. S-corporation status can provide tax advantages through income splitting between salary and distributions.

    Sales and Reseller Permits


    A Seller's Permit (also called a Resale Certificate or Resale License) is crucial for purchasing inventory wholesale without paying sales tax, as you'll collect it from the end customer instead. Operating without this permit while collecting sales tax is prohibited and can result in significant penalties. Amazon requires sellers to provide valid tax identification to operate on their platform.

    Required Licenses and Business Name Registration


  • Basic Business License - needed to legally operate your reselling business

  • DBA (Doing Business As) registration - required if operating under a name different from your legal name or LLC name

  • Sales Tax License - mandatory for collecting and remitting sales tax from customers

  • Retail Merchant's License - specifically for retail sales operations

    LLC (Limited Liability Company) FAQs:


    Q: Would an LLC be better than filing a fictitious business name?

    A: Regadless you will need to register the name. Instead just form an LLC or an S corporation though LLCs are preferred these days. For example if the assumed business name is . deKristietch NkscandlecompanyCo. this name as well as any other name is an assumed business name and it must be recorded as a DBA Doing Business As name which also requires a fee to be recorded.

    Just recording an assumed business name does nothing to keep the name exclusive nor does it avoid personal liability for the business owners. Only setting up a limited liability company (LLC) will protect the name at the state level and also protect the owners of personal liability. It is perhaps a better choice to just incorporate for the same or a little higher fee because you will also have corporate protection for the business name and personal vs business liabilities.

    E.g. if your business has debts the lender can sue you personally to obtain a judgment vs your personal assets as opposed in the case you were a corporation where the lender could only sue the corporation directly and if the limited liability company (LLC) had no assets the lender could get nothing.

    You can avoid being personally liable for liabilities arising out of business transactions if you set up an LLC or form a corporation. For example if a client slips and falls in your store you will not be subject to lawsuits if you have formed an LLC or set up a corporation. If you start alone and are a sole owner you will have to pay self employment taxes that are higher than normal employment taxes. If you want to avoid that an S corporation. Such business structure separates your salary with dividents and you will save on taxes because dividents are not subject to self employment taxes. To look like a serious and prestigious business it is recommended that you incorporate or form an LLC because such legal business entities are more respected in the business world.

    Yes, you need a seller's permit.





    First, select your business structure: Sole Proprietor, Partnership, LLC or Corporation.

    Then, a seller's permit is required if you sell merchandise wholesale or retail.

    If you are an employer, you will need a federal employer Number and a State Employer Number.

      Finally, you have the option or incorporating or forming an LLC.

    Basic Business Registration and Tax Requirements


    For an online resale business combined with landscaping and tree services, you'll need an EIN (Employer Identification Number), which functions as your business's tax ID for filing taxes, opening business bank accounts, and managing payroll. A seller's permit allows you to collect sales tax on taxable items and purchase wholesale goods without paying sales tax. Business structure registration (LLC or S-corp) provides liability protection and affects how your business income is taxed - LLCs offer flexibility in taxation and simpler administration, while S-corps can provide tax advantages through salary vs. distribution splits.

    Industry-Specific Licenses


    For the landscaping and tree service portion, you'll need
  • Contractor's license for landscaping work
  • Arborist certification for tree care and removal
  • Pesticide applicator license if using chemical treatments
  • Transportation permits for hauling equipment and debris
  • Insurance certificates specific to tree work and landscaping operations


  • Online Sales Requirements


    For the e-commerce component, you'll need
  • Resale certificate to purchase wholesale items tax-free
  • Home occupation permit if running the online business from home
  • Sales tax collection registration for each state where you have nexus
  • Digital payment processor registration
  • Business insurance covering online sales and product liability
  • . Special requirements apply when selling certain regulated items or shipping across state lines, and maintaining proper accounting records for both service-based and product-based income streams is essential for tax compliance.

    Basic Business Structure and Tax Requirements


    For an Amazon reselling business, you'll need an EIN (Employer Identification Number), which functions as your business's tax ID - think of it as a Social Security number for your business. This number is essential for tax reporting, opening business bank accounts, and managing vendor relationships. While sole proprietorship is the simplest structure, an LLC offers personal asset protection and professional credibility, separating your personal finances from business operations. S-corporation status can provide tax advantages through income splitting between salary and distributions.

    Sales and Reseller Permits


    A Seller's Permit (also called a Resale Certificate or Resale License) is crucial for purchasing inventory wholesale without paying sales tax, as you'll collect it from the end customer instead. Operating without this permit while collecting sales tax is prohibited and can result in significant penalties. Amazon requires sellers to provide valid tax identification to operate on their platform.

    Required Licenses and Business Name Registration


  • Basic Business License - needed to legally operate your reselling business

  • DBA (Doing Business As) registration - required if operating under a name different from your legal name or LLC name

  • Sales Tax License - mandatory for collecting and remitting sales tax from customers

  • Retail Merchant's License - specifically for retail sales operations

  • Home Occupation Permit - if running the business from home

    Basic Business Registrations and Tax IDs


    You'll need an EIN (Employer Identification Number) which functions as your business's tax ID - think of it as a Social Security number for your company. This is essential for opening business bank accounts, filing taxes, and managing payroll if you hire employees. For your online bath and beauty products business, establishing an LLC provides personal asset protection and tax flexibility, while an S-corp could offer potential tax advantages through salary/distribution optimization, though it requires more complex management.

    Industry-Specific Licenses and Permits


    For selling cosmetic and personal care products like bath bombs and skin treatments, you'll need:
  • Seller's Permit/Resale Certificate - allows you to buy wholesale products tax-free for resale and collect sales tax from customers

  • Cosmetic Manufacturing License - required for producing bath and beauty products

  • Home-Based Business Permit - if operating from home

  • DBA (Doing Business As) Registration - if operating under a name different from your legal business name


  • Online Business Requirements


    As an e-commerce business, you'll need additional elements for operating legally online:
  • Sales Tax License/Permit - for collecting and remitting sales tax on online transactions

  • Payment Processing Registration - to accept credit card payments

  • Food and Drug Safety Registration - since your products are applied to the body

  • Product Liability Insurance - protects against claims related to your beauty products

    Do I Need a small tshirt shop  Sellers Permit? 

    What other permits and Tax IDs Does a   small tshirt shop

    Business Needs to Legally Start business operations? 

    A  
    small tshirt shop   business needs a sellers permit if it sells or tshirts. 

    Furthermore, a general business permit and a federal tax ID number is also required for any of the above business type organizations. 

    The only exception to a federal tax ID number is a sole proprietor, who can use a ss# instead of a Federal ID. 

    However, even sole proprietors as well as all other business type organizations that are employers, independent contractors, LLCs, or corporation must obtain a federal tax ID number. 

    A
     tshirt business organization, including sole owners, must obtain a state employer tax ID if hiring employees. 

    Finally, a 
     tshirt store  sole owner (i.e., an one person business) can obtain and use a federal ID as a business tax ID instead of the social security number and, in addition, he or she can form an LLC or set up a corporation instead of organizing as a sole proprietor. 

    Tshirt stores Accessories such as handbags, purses, apparel, dresses, womens belts, etc.   businesses do not need any surety bond insurance either but they can optionally purchase it and also purchase a general liability business insurance or home business insurance.
