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

Setting up your  Apparel  business



First, check out the Legal and Tax Business Structure



To set up and register your   Apparel   business, it does not matter whether your business is an online, home, store, concession stand or a mobile cart, you will have to first select a business type entity from these tax structures:



Namely, from sole owner/proprietor, partnership, LLC or corporation.



It does not matter which   apparel  business entity you choose as far as a   General Business License   is concerned because all entities need a business license and that is because all businesses need, well, a business license.   (Note that this is not a specific license to your type of business, it is a BUSINESS license) as well.



Using a company   Apparel  trade name subjects you to having to file a  DBA  . For instance, if your name is Donald Tramp, and you do business as Best Items By Tramp, the Tramp name must be registered with a   DBA Doing Business As certificate   because it is not your full legal name (namely, Donald Tramp.



Also, note that whatever item that you sell or lease, and it is an item that can be touched (i.e., tangible such as equipment, jewelry, merchandise, electronics, prepared food) requires a sales  ID (Seller's Permit  ) to either buy or sell the items or wholesale from companies that sell in bulk and sell them directly to consumers. The seller's permit is also called a sales tax ID, a state ID (there are 2 state IDs and the other one is called a state employer ID but you most likely need a sales tax ID from the state).



Getting people to work for your   Apparel  business anytime within 30 days of starting your business subjects you're having to get a  Federal EIN   and a   State EIN   (employer identification number).



On the other hand, you will also need a federal tax ID if you are a partnership, an independent contractor, and a corporation or an   LLC  .



It is always a good idea to obtain a federal tax ID as a sole proprietor and use it as a business tax ID in place of a social security number.



However, you will still need other  apparel   filings, business tax registrations, such as permits, a fictitious business name, DBA, and tax IDs as described above. For example, if you want to be an LLC, you must obtain an LLC certificate and an LLC operating agreement as well as an EIN.  



You need the EIN  to be the LLC ID in addition to being an Employer ID  if you hire workers.  



Finally, even  sole proprietor   Apparel  working from home or just online can set up an LLC or incorporate, in which case, they will not need to register the trade name with a DBA because the LLC or Corporation name will be the legal name of the business.  



  DBA stands for Doing Business As, and is also called a fictitious, assumed, trade firm or business certificate trade name.  















     


As an LLC business, do I need a seller's permit for a business license?   Apparel  clothing, women's apparel.



Answer: Yes, of course, you need a seller's permit to buy the apparel wholesale and sell retail.  
✔ Biz Structure

You can choose to be a(n) Apparel :

  • Sole Proprietor,
  • LLC,
  • Corporation or
  • Partnership.
    After you decide and select your business entity, you need licensing.


✔ Biz License


Evergreen Park Business Tax Registration ( Business License)
All businesses including home, online or mobile BUSINESS need a BUSINESS license because they are BUSINESSES.


✔ DBA Biz Name

A(n) Apparel business using a DBA Doing Business As Trade Name in Cook County , i.e., starting businesses using a company name other than the legal (given name) owner's name, need a(n) DBA Doing Business As Trade Name Registration.   For example, you start a(n) Apparel business and you call it "Ultra Apparel Co". You will need to file a trade firm name for it.
✔ Seller Permit

Also, keep in mind that in IL though, a business license and a DBA is necessary for most businesses but if your business sells any taxable items, you will need a sales tax ID number.  (A.K.A state id, wholesale, resale, reseller certificate, about $39 for most states).
Seller's Permit

✔ Federal EIN


Note: All businesses need a federal tax ID number except sole proprietors that are not employers and are not independent contractors.
An independent contractor is a self employed business person that receives more than $600 per year from anyone of his or her clients.
IRS rule: The client must issue a 1099 form to the independent contractor and the independent contractor must have a federal tax ID. However, even sole owners may obtain a federal ID and use it as a business tax ID instead of using their own social security number as a business tax ID number.
However, all other licenses that apply to sole proprietors as discussed here are requited regardless of getting a federal tax ID number.

✔ State EIN

If you are thinking of hiring help, you will need a state employer ID and an IRS number employer ID. I.e., a IL Federal Tax Id Number ($29)  and a(n) IL  State Employer Tax Number  

✔ L L C

Instead of filing a fictitious business name DBA Filing (about $49 plus state and legal newspaper publication fees) in Evergreen Park, Incorporate in IL  or form a(n) IL LLC . 

If you will set up a corporation or form an LLC, you will not have to file a DBA (Doing Business As) unless your corproration or LLC name will be different that the busienss name you will trade under. Businesses that use the full legal name of the owner as a business name do not need to register an assumed business name. So, for example, your name is "John X Doe" and you use that as a business name.
 

✔ Incorporation


If you do form an Retail Trade llc or incorporate (about $49 plus state fees for most states) your Apparel business instead of just filing a fictitious business name (dba), it will help you avoid legal and financial personal liability arising out of business transactions and you will not have to register the Evergreen Park business name. Instead of filing a Cook County fictitious business name (our service fee includes dba business name filing and legal paper publication) you can elect to incorporate in IL or form an IL LLC (starts @ $49 plus state fee for most states & includes bylaws and LLC operating agreement)..
