Registering Your Own Small New Candy Business

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

       The above step is important business all documents will be filed under the type of business organizational structure. After that, you will need to obtain a business permit.

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

       Note that in the majority of the cases you do not need to obtain a Candy business permit that is specifically for your type of business.

     You only need a general business permit.

       In addition, all Candy 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, a seller's permit is required if you sell merchandise wholesale or retail.

       The sellers 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 "Candy Store 4 you," you will need to file a doing business as (DBA) filing.

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

A: The Needed Permission To Sell candy chips and soda consists of the licensing you need such as a seller's permit. You can obtain all licensing for your candy chips and soda here including the business seller's permit because you will need it to buy wholesale and collect sales tax for in state Candy sales. You will also need a food handler's license that you can obtain online from a short online course. Also, keep in mind that "Angie's Candy LLC," is a trade name so you need to register it with a DBA, LLC or corporation. Since your name contains that suffix LLC, you will need to set up an LLC because you cannot use this suffix legally unless you are registered as an LLC.

"Cathy's Candies," is a business name so you need to register this with a DBA, LLC or corporation. Then you can use that name in your advertising and stationary. To buy the candies wholesale (tax free), you need a wholesale license also called a sales tax ID or seller's permit. Of course, all businesses need a business license as well.

I wanna know how to obtain and requirements to sell ice cream bars and popsicles on a ice cream cart I am looking into an ice cream truck for pre packaged snack foods and popsicles. what do I need

Answer: Hi Sherry, because you sell food, i.e., ice cream and popsicles, you will need the seller's permit to buy the food items such snack foods etc wholesale. You also need the sales number to sell them because you need to collect sales tax at least for the instate sales. Other than that, you will need to register the trade name "Pop Fusions Inc," with a DBA, LLC or corporation. Because you want "inc," as a fictitious business name suffix, you will have to set up a corporation. You also need an EIN, and a business license. If you hire anyone, as for example, to sell the popsicles, you will also need a state EIN in addition to the federal EIN. The estimated cost of licensing is $179 if you purchase all you need.

✔ Biz Structure

You can choose to be a(n) Popsicles :

Sole Proprietor,

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 FL Federal Tax Id Number ($29) and a(n) FL 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 Dunnellon, Incorporate in FL or form a(n) FL LLC .

You have a choice to file a DBA or form an LLC or incorporate. 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 Popsicles 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 Dunnellon business name. In lieu of recording a Citrus 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 FL or form an FL 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). .
