There are thousands of swap meets in the United States generating income in the billions but each business operating in the swap meet must be licensed.

Swap Meet Licensing

Sales Tax Permit

Some swap meets are about retail businesses, so sales tax is involved. I.e., you need to collect taxes when making a sale. Some swap meets collect taxes when you sell your merchandise at the swap meet but 99% of swap meets require you to obtain your own sales permit so you can buy wholesale from wholesalers and then sell retail at the swap meet. You can obtain this license here - it is called a seller's permit.

Swap Meet Business License



  First is a business license and before issuing a business license, the government considers your location, number of employees, type of business and gross annual income as well as you need  to obtain a seller's permit so you can buy your Swap Meet Store wholesale.

90630  For example, if you start a swap meet in Orange County, 9063, CA  and want to buy the items wholesale. To buy wholesale, you  will need to obtain a seller's permit.

The seller's permit includes a resale certificate that you will  fill out, sign and fax or email to the wholesaler so you can prove to the wholesaler that you  have a seller's permit ID number.

  So, for instance, if you  buy 10  Gift Baskets Store Materials for $1.00 each, you  would have to pay $10 plus sales tax but since you  buy wholesale you buy tax free  paying only $10 instead of assuming the state tax is about 7% tax, $10.70.

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

   Users of a trade name will need a fictitious business name filing. Finally, you have the option or incorporating or forming an  used stuff   LLC.

Let’s break it down: Business Registration: Before engaging in retail sales at specialty markets or other events.

This certificate confirms your business’s legitimacy and allows you to collect and remit sales and use tax.

There is no fee for applying, and once received, you should conspicuously display the certificate or a confirmation of application.

Sales and Use Tax: As a seller at flea markets, you’ll be responsible for collecting and remitting sales and use tax.

The general state rate is 4.75%, but local and transit rates may vary based on the sale’s location.

For food sales, there’s a 2% tax rate, while prepared food falls under the general state rate.

Make sure to understand your tax obligations.

Other Tax Obligations: Depending on your specific situation, you may have additional tax responsibilities.

E.g. you venture into a(n) Flea Market business and you give it a trade name such as "Excellence Flea Market & Associates". You will need to register an assumed business name certificate.

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

In addition you will need a federal and a state EIN if you will hire employees. I.e., a AL Federal Tax Id Number ($29) and a(n) AL 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 Prattville, Incorporate in AL or form a(n) AL LLC .

You have a choice to file a DBA or form an LLC or incorporate. There is a cicrcumstance that you may not need to register a trade name and that is when you use your full name as a business name if you use your full legal name as a trade name.
Also note that even using your first and last name may not help you avoid filing a DBA if the name has a suffix such as "& sons" etc.

✔ Incorporation

If you do form an Other llc or incorporate (about $49 plus state fees for most states) your Flea Market business instead of just filing a fictitious business name (dba), it will help you avoid personal liability from wrongs arising from your business dealings and you will not have to file the Prattville business name. Instead of just registering your Autauga County assumed business name (our fee includes assumed business name registration and legal newspaper publication) you can choose to setup a corporation in AL or form an AL LLC (starts @ $49 plus state fee for most states & includes required documents such as bylaws for the corporation and Limited Liability operating agreement for the LLC). .
