Starting a Gift Store Business

Hi, Shirley, Ein Numbers are available here. Gift Store  Permits to Buy Wholesale And Resale and getting a business license for  Store are available here online.

1. Here are the steps to start a  Gift Store  business in

2.  Gift Store  :

3. Find the money to invest in your business,

4. Complete your Licensing Registration,

5. Choose  your location,  

6. Start your  Gift Store Business,  

7. Study your competition,

8. Be creative, and  original,

9. Get Merchandise from Wholesale Suppliers.





Fees: the fees are $49 for most states, and yes, you need a business license.



In fact, here is what Licensing you Need.



First, you need the LLC certificate.  Also, you can get your Resale License here online.



  Regardless of merchandise,  licensing for your business requires that you get a wholesale license AKA seller's permit and getting a business license because all businesses need these 2 filings plus more depending on your specific situation.



WHAT IS A Wholesale or Resale Permit?



A Wholesale License is not for your type of wholesale-only- it is the same as a seller's permit. If you are a home business, some jurisdictions require you to get both a seller's permit and a business license.



The business license exists because the government wants to make sure you comply with business rules. For example, health practices, etc.

On the other hand, a seller's permit is for businesses that want to buy or sell wholesale or sell resale.



In your case, buying 10 items at $10 each wholesale saves you $8 because @ 8% sales tax, that is how much you save. Nevertheless, you still need to collect the 8% when selling the items.



     In addition, because you are using an assumed business name, also called a DBA (doing business as name) namely, " Hackneys Gifts, " is required to be registered with a DBA doing business as certificate, an LLC, or a corporation.





     


    

Registering Your Own Small New Store Business





   Most stores sell merchandise so the first thing is to get a seller's permit to buy merchandise wholesale and sell it retail.



   Aside from that, you then need to select your business structure: Sole Proprietor, Partnership, LLC, or Corporation.



   The above step is an important business all  Store documents will be filed under the type of business organizational structure.



   Of course, you can have a brick and mortar, roadside, mobile or online store.  All of these require the same licensing not because of the type of location but because there  are all businesses.

   After that, you will need to obtain a business permit.  

   This is a general business permit that all new businesses must obtain.

   More than 31% of the GNP, though, less than $5,000,000.00 is generated through retail sales business.

   Though less than 2 million retail businesses, there are about 1.6 ml retail stores not including online retail.   Note that in the majority of the cases you do not need to obtain a business permit that is specifically for your type of business.

   You only need a general business permit.  In addition, all businesses must be identified by a business tax ID called a federal tax ID number or Employer Identification Number (EIN).

   If you file as a sole proprietor, you can use your social security number instead of the federal ID.



    Then, 99% of all stores require a seller's permit if you sell merchandise wholesale or retail.  The seller's permit is also called state ID, wholesale ID, resale ID, or re-seller license.  

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



   If you do business as a name other than your full legal name, for example, you do business as " ABC Discount Store," you will need to file a doing business as (DBA) filing.  

   Finally, you have the option of incorporating or forming an LLC. Setting up as one of these corporate entities allows you not to file a DBA.

Answer: Hi Hung, here is how to obtain your resale certificate: First, you need to obtain the seller's permit because, in MA, you need both the permit and the certificate.  The Massachusetts sales tax is 6.25% of the sales price or rental charge on tangible personal property, including certain telecommunication services sold or rented in Massachusetts. Sales tax is generally collected by the seller.  



   Since you are the seller, you will have to collect a 6.25% sales tax. For example, if you sell a gift at $40, you need to charge $40 plus $2.5 in sales tax because  6.5% of $40 is $2.50.  In addition, since you are doing business as (DBA) " A Story Begins," you need a DBA certificate filed.   Question: I'm going to hand crochet items I have a name for my business, I want to sell cookies and gift baskets



Answer: To sell cookies and gift baskets, you need at least the seller's permit and the business license.  You need more as described on this site.  





Question:



   Hi! I was wondering if you need to have a liquor license to sell liquor in a gift basket business in NYS?

Answer: Yes, you will be required to obtain a license that allows you to sell and distribute alcoholic beverages and products. In most states, this is not a liquor license, but one that you can sell wine or liquor together with other food or products as a package.  Your business license may include alcohol without any additional fees, but it depends on the state you operate from; in Texas, and in Connecticut, for example, a $200 annual permit covers all forms of licensing for gift basket businesses.  In addition,  you need at least the seller's permit and the business license.  You need more than described on this site.  











  
     


   Other instances where you will need a federal tax ID are: if you are a partnership, an independent contractor, and a corporation or LLC. You can also obtain a federal tax ID as a sole proprietor and use it as a business tax ID in the place of a social security number. However, you will still need other registrations, such as licenses, an assumed business name DBA, and tax IDs as described above.



Finally, even one person, sole owner/proprietors working from home or just online, can form an LLC or incorporate, in which case, they will not need to file a DBA

Answer:

✔ Biz Structure

You can choose to be a(n) Gift Shop :

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


✔ Biz License


Bel Air 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) Gift Shop business using a fictitious business name in Harford County i.e. you are a business that uses a DBA doing business as trade name to trade that is other than the full legal (first and last -- full name) name of a sole proprietor or a name other than the LLC or Corporation business name need a(n) fictitious business name.   For instance you open a(n) Gift Shop business and you name it "Superior Gift Shop Group". You will need to file a fictitious business name for that name.
✔ Seller Permit

In MD you need a resale ID ( AKA seller's permit) if you selling touchable items.  (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

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

Filing a DBA is not required if you will set up an LLC or form a Corporation. If you will do business under your first and last legal name you will not need to get a fictitious business 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 Retail Trade llc or incorporate (about $49 plus state fees for most states) your Gift Shop business instead of just filing a fictitious business name (dba), that insurs that you don't have personal liability for debts and civile liabililty arising from your business dealings and you will not have to record the Bel Air business name. In lieu of recording a Harford County trade company name (our filing service fee includes trade name registration and newspaper legal publication for 4 weeks) you can also form a corporation in MD or form an MD LLC (starts @ $49 plus state fee for most states & includes bylaws for the corporation and Limited Liability operating agreement for the LLC that is required to open a business bank account). .
