Business Needs for Your Online Retail Business (eBay & Amazon) Launching an online retail business selling various products through eBay and Amazon requires considering legal aspects. Here's a breakdown of potential licenses, registrations, and business structures:

Business Registration



  • General Business License: This is a common requirement for most online businesses, even those operating on platforms like eBay and Amazon. It establishes your business and allows you to collect sales tax (if applicable).   Reasoning: A general business license ensures you comply with basic business regulations for your online retail activities.

Tax Requirements



  • Seller's Permit: In most locations with sales tax, you'll need a seller's permit to collect sales tax on your products sold through eBay and Amazon.   Reasoning: A seller's permit ensures you collect and remit the appropriate sales tax to the state on your taxable sales.

  • Business Tax Registration: Depending on your business structure and income level, you might need to register for additional business taxes.   Reasoning: Business tax registration ensures you comply with your tax obligations and avoid penalties for your online retail business.

Business Structure (Optional):



  • Business Name Registration: Registering your business name protects your right to use it commercially and helps establish your brand identity.   Reasoning: Business name registration prevents others from using your chosen name and provides legal protection for your brand.

  • LLC or S Corporation (Consider):  While not mandatory, forming an LLC (Limited Liability Company) or S corporation offers personal liability protection, separates your finances from the business, and may provide tax benefits.  Reasoning: An LLC or S corporation structure can protect your personal assets from liabilities related to your online business, especially if your business grows significantly or deals with high-value products.

Additional Considerations



  • Research Platform Policies:  eBay and Amazon have their own policies and regulations for sellers.  Carefully research their guidelines regarding product restrictions, sales tax collection requirements, and any specific permits needed for certain product categories.   Reasoning: Understanding platform policies ensures you comply with their rules to avoid account suspension or other issues.

  • Permits for Specific Products (Possible):  Depending on the types of items you sell (e.g., electronics, used goods, hazardous materials), you might need additional permits. Research any specific requirements for your product categories.   Reasoning: Following permit requirements ensures your business complies with regulations for specific product types.

A: Certainly, Starting A Business Selling Through Amazon is not an easy task, especially if you sell clothing and stuff online thru Amazon. However, the majority, about 80% succeed selling at amazon because let's face it amazon is a great platform to sell on.  The first thing to get  a seller's permit along with a  business license and an EIN. The fictitious business name "Sheena's Boutique," must be recorded with a DBA, LLC or corporation as well.



              Q:How To Get A Resale Permit For An Online Store? I am a reseller who has an online retail store. I buy wholesale products and sell them on my website .  Knitwits 37 Boutique. Wanted to Get Sellers Permit For Online Business   Retail. Starting to sell online merchandise and was wondering whether online businesses need to get a seller's permit?  



I will be selling as a vendor until i can get a store front selling local location is at home and online address is 14101 sparta ave lot 54

     I am a selling anything that is a retail item, electronics, jewelry, clothes, shoes, hardware and tools. I will buy new, used and refurbished items to resale. I will buy and sale wholesale and in small quantities. I will sell online (website), my home, at different business locations, and in all 50 states. I will use ebay and amazon also





A: Yes, more than 31% of the GNP, though, less than $5,000,000.00 is generated through retail sales business. Online businesses must get a seller's permits if they sell merchandise.  You also need to file a dba for "AnoMinne Retail Finds," fictitious business name and get a business license because all business, including online and home businesses must get a business license.  I would say 99% but it is more like 99.9% that need a business license reqardless of the location that they do business. . 





                Retailers need at least a retail permit AKA retailer permit, a business license and a DBA doing business assumed business name. Retail businesses need at least a resale permit or wholesale license AKA seller permit. You also need a business tax registration license and a an assumed business name if you have a  retail business name.

                 Though less than 2 million retail businesses, there is about 1.6 ml retail stores not including online retail.



                Note that if you hire retail employees, you will need an IRS EIN and a State EIN as well. Even one person retail business can set up a corporation or LLC. There are a lot of retail businesses in the USA.  



                The retail commerce includes retailers such as home repair, electronics, clothing, furniture, car parts, and food retail businesses.

                 There are about 20 to 30 million retail businesses in the USA.  Even though less than 50%, the retail industry is a leading business start-up for the U.S. economy and, together with the government sector, employs more employee than the other sectors.

                More than 30% of the GNP, though, less than $4,000,000.00 is generated thru retail sales business.



                The process that the retailer uses is simple: he finds what the shopper need is and he satisfies it with better quality and less expenses than the competition.

                So, you can purchase goods from Tawain, for illustration, and sell it in the U.S. for profit.  You buy an part at $1 and sell it @ $2. A no brainer!  Although fewer than 2 million retail companies, thee about 1.5 million retail stores but that does not include the online sellers like eBay, Amazon, or Etsy, sellers.  Perhaps the most trendy and prominent type of retail business is the retail store, such as various retail shops on busy streets, department stores like Dillard, and other merchandise walk in stores.

    

                However, the business retail stores such as home depot, office depot, and best buy stores are retail stores.

                 There are levels of stores as well.  There can be a 99 cent store but also K-Mart, a higher type of shopping encounter, and, also Gucci who accommodate to the rich tastes.

Industry Overview and Startup Costs

The e-commerce and freelance services industry is booming, with global online retail sales expected to reach a staggering $5.4 trillion by 2026. Meanwhile, the global freelance market is projected to hit $1.5 trillion by 2027. With a little capital and a lot of hustle, you could be riding this wave all the way to financial freedom. Just be sure to have enough cash on hand to cover the essentials, like a reliable laptop (preferably one that doesn't spontaneously combust), a sturdy desk chair (that won't collapse under the weight of your dreams), and a steady supply of caffeine (to fuel those late-night coding sessions).  

Licenses and Registrations

As a self-employed entrepreneur, you'll need to take care of a few legal matters to keep the authorities happy and your business running smoothly:  
  • Seller's Permit: This document allows you to collect sales tax on the products you sell online. It's a must-have if you want to avoid any unpleasant run-ins with the tax man. Think of it as a golden ticket to selling your wares without getting into hot water.

  • Business Registration: Depending on your state and local laws, you may need to register your business name and structure, such as a sole proprietorship, LLC, or S corporation. An EIN (Employer Identification Number) is like the social security number for your business, and you'll need it for things like opening a business bank account and filing taxes.


    •             Note that if you hire retail employees, you will need an IRS EIN and a State EIN as well.

  • Zoning and Permits: Even though you're working from home, you may need to obtain special permits or comply with zoning regulations. Check with your local authorities to ensure your home-based business is operating within the rules.
    • Remember, the key is to stay informed and proactive. With the right licenses and registrations in place, you can focus on growing your business and making those sweet, sweet e-commerce and freelance dollars.

          The specific license you need is called a seller's permit because you will need it to buy clothing  materials wholesale and sell them retail.     Note that "Jumelle L Amour Boutique," is a fictitious business name, so you need to register it with a DBA (doing business as) certificate, an LLC or corporation.  Since you said  you want a FL LLC, then the LLC will register your fictitious business name.
    ✔ Biz Structure

    You can choose to be a(n) Retail Store :

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


    ✔ Biz License


    Tuskegee 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) Retail Store business doing business under an assumed business name in Macon County i.e. you are a business with a trade name other than the owner's legal (full name) name are required to get a(n) assumed business name certificate.   E.g. you venture into a(n) Retail Store business and you give it a trade name such as "Excellence Retail Store & Associates".

    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 Tuskegee, 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 Internet Selling llc or incorporate (about $49 plus state fees for most states) your Retail Store 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 Tuskegee business name. Instead of just registering your Macon 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). .
