    Q: online selling homemade products knickknacks nationwide on Etsy, Facebook, website, geek pages, etc?

    To buy merchandise such as dollhouses and dollhouses accessories wholesale, you need a sales tax ID also called a seller's permit.

    The requirement comes from TN state legislation taxation and finance statute that requires you to get a seller's permit.
    The way that works is after you get the seller's permit, you use the resale certificate that comes with the permit to fax or email a signed copy to the wholesaler, and then you can buy wholesale because the wholesaler will not sell you merchandise without the resale certificate.

    In fact, sometimes the wholesaler wants a copy of the original seller's permit certificate before selling you anything wholesale.

    Selling Craafts Riverside County Sun City Craft Sun City, 92586 7 It is confusing... is a seller's permit license same as a sales permit?; Yes, a seller's permit license is the same as a sales permit.

    Setting up your trade business

    First, check out the Business Tax Structure. To set up and enlist your business, it does not matter whether your company is a web, domestic, store, concession stand or a mobile cart, you'll have to begin with to select a business structure: To be specific, from the sole owner/proprietor organization, LLC or corporation.

    It does not matter which trade structure you choose as  a Sellers Permit is a concern since all entities require a sellers permit which is why all businesses require, well, a trade permit. (Note that this is usually not a particular permit for your sort of trade, it may be a Commerce permit) as well.

    Using a company trade name subjects you to having to record a DBA. For this event, in case your title is Joe Baiden, and you're doing commerce as Best Things By Baiden, the Baiden title must be registered with a DBA Doing Business As Certificate.

    Also, note that anything  that can be touched (i.e., substantial items such as gear, adornments, stock, gadgets, arranged nourishment) requires a Sales Tax ID (Vendor  License) to either purchase or offer the items discounted from companies that offer them in bulk or offer them directly to buyers.

    The seller's allow is additionally called a wholesale ID, a state ID (there are 2 state IDs and the other one is called an employer ID but you most likely need a retail seller permit license from the state). If you hire individuals to work for your commerce at any time within 30 days of beginning your trade subjects, you've got to induce a Government EIN and a State EIN.

    Be that as it may, you may to want to get an EIN if  you are an independent contractor  organization or autonomous temporary worker, or an enterprise or an LLC. It is continuously a great idea to get an EIN as a sole proprietor and utilize it as a business ID in place of the social security number.

    However, you'll still require other filings for trade assessment enrollments such as licenses, invented trade names, DBA, and tax IDs as depicted above. For illustration, in case you need to be an LLC, you must get an LLC certificate and an LLC working understanding as well as an EIN.

    If you enlist laborers, you wish the EIN to be the LLC ID in expansion to being an Employer ID.

    Finally, indeed the sole proprietor working from domestic or fair online can set up an LLC or consolidate, in which case, they will not get to enroll the exchange title with a DBA since the LLC or Corporation title will be the legitimate title of the trade.

    DBA stands for Doing Business As, and it is additionally called a fictitious, expected, exchange firm or commerce certificate exchange title.

    Selling on the roadside just requires a business license.  You can obtain one here online.


    🥑

    ✅ Required Licenses and Registrations to Sell Avocados



  • ✅ Seller’s Permit – For collecting and reporting sales tax when selling directly to the public or retailers.
  •   
  • ✅ Produce Dealer’s License – Needed if you plan to sell, ship, or buy from others for resale (including to stores or distributors).
  •   
  • ✅ Certified Producer Certificate – If you grow your own avocados and want to sell them at certified farmers’ markets.
  •   
  • ✅ Weighmaster License – Required if selling by weight and using commercial scales.
  •   
  • ✅ Local Business License – Required in each city or county where you conduct sales (La Mesa, Lemon Grove, Spring Valley, etc.).
  •   
  • ✅ Health Permit – May be needed if selling near public areas (like roadside stands), especially if handling pre-packaged produce or food items.
  •   
  • ✅ Temporary Food Facility Permit – For setting up at street corners, seasonal stands, or farmer’s markets temporarily.
  •   
  • ✅ Zoning and Street Vendor Permit – Specific to each location; required to legally sell on sidewalks, corners, or roadside setups.


  • Obtain all licenses and registrations here online.



    ✅ Selling on the Side of the Road or Corner?



    Yes, but only if you have the right permits. Most areas require a street vending or peddler’s permit, and the location must be approved for public safety, traffic, and zoning compliance. You cannot just pull over with a sign and start selling guac-in-the-raw.

    ✅ Selling to Retail Stores and Markets



    Before walking into a market with your beautiful green cargo, you’ll need:

  • ✅ Seller’s Permit
  •   
  • ✅ Produce Dealer’s License (unless exempt by small volume limits)
  •   
  • ✅ Packaged Product Labeling Compliance (if pre-packed)
  •   
  • ✅ Traceability and Food Safety Documentation


  • ✅ Avocado Industry Numbers You’ll Enjoy



    * 🥑 Average avocado consumption per person in the U.S.: 8+ lbs/year
    * 🧺 California produces over **90% of U.S. avocados**
    * 🌱 Hass variety makes up **95% of avocados sold commercially**
    * 💰 Price per avocado ranges from \$0.75 to \$2.00 retail
    * 📈 Direct-to-consumer sales can net 2–3x wholesale pricing

    ✅ Just a Pit of Humor



    If your avocados are as smooth as your legal briefs, you might be the first produce vendor to get a standing ovation *and* a subpoena in the same week.

    ✅ Bottom Line



    You *can* sell your Fallbrook avocados in Spring Valley, La Mesa, and Lemon Grove, but you’ll need the proper licenses and location approvals to go retail, roadside, or market-bound. ✅

    LLC (Limited Liability Company) FAQs:


    Q: Should I consider forming an LLC?

    A: Perhaps filing an llc may be a good idea though some start with an S corp. On the other hand, if you want to issue shares, you may want a C corporation. If your business name is. deQuineishatch Madalinde CraftCo. requires a fictitious business name registration, which also requires a fee to be registered.

    Registering a fictitious business name does not protect that name nor does it protect the business owner from personal liability related to business actions as setting up a limited liability company (LLC) does. It is perhaps a better choice to just incorporate for the same or a little higher fee because you will also have corporate protection for the business name and personal vs business liabilities.

    E.g. if your business has debts the lender can sue you personally to obtain a judgment vs your personal assets as opposed in the case you were a corporation where the lender could only sue the corporation directly and if the limited liability company (LLC) had no assets the lender could get nothing.

    Also, consider the prestige that a limited liability company (LLC) affords. Is a name like John's Transmissiona shop better than AEMCOO TRANS, LLC?

    A: No you don't need money to start an LLC.

    Q: Do I need a lawyer to set up an LLC? If I set up an LLC, will the LLC help me protect my business LLC from creditors?
    A: We can set up your llc here. You don' t need a laywer. And yes, actually, only an LLC can help you protect the LLC from its creditors especially if you have another partner member owner in that LLC.

    Licensing from the dept of Food and agriculture?
    ok so before I approach an store as a vendor I need to present them with a state sellers's permit and a license from the dept of food and agriculture
    6/30/2025 12:00 AM
    Selling on the roadside just requires a business license.  You can obtain one here online.


    🥑

    ✅ Required Licenses and Registrations to Sell Avocados



  • ✅ Seller’s Permit – For collecting and reporting sales tax when selling directly to the public or retailers.
  •   
  • ✅ Produce Dealer’s License – Needed if you plan to sell, ship, or buy from others for resale (including to stores or distributors).
  •   
  • ✅ Certified Producer Certificate – If you grow your own avocados and want to sell them at certified farmers’ markets.
  •   
  • ✅ Weighmaster License – Required if selling by weight and using commercial scales.
  •   
  • ✅ Local Business License – Required in each city or county where you conduct sales (La Mesa, Lemon Grove, Spring Valley, etc.).
  •   
  • ✅ Health Permit – May be needed if selling near public areas (like roadside stands), especially if handling pre-packaged produce or food items.
  •   
  • ✅ Temporary Food Facility Permit – For setting up at street corners, seasonal stands, or farmer’s markets temporarily.
  •   
  • ✅ Zoning and Street Vendor Permit – Specific to each location; required to legally sell on sidewalks, corners, or roadside setups.


  • Obtain all licenses and registrations here online.



    ✅ Selling on the Side of the Road or Corner?



    Yes, but only if you have the right permits. Most areas require a street vending or peddler’s permit, and the location must be approved for public safety, traffic, and zoning compliance. You cannot just pull over with a sign and start selling guac-in-the-raw.

    ✅ Selling to Retail Stores and Markets



    Before walking into a market with your beautiful green cargo, you’ll need:

  • ✅ Seller’s Permit
  •   
  • ✅ Produce Dealer’s License (unless exempt by small volume limits)
  •   
  • ✅ Packaged Product Labeling Compliance (if pre-packed)
  •   
  • ✅ Traceability and Food Safety Documentation


  • ✅ Avocado Industry Numbers You’ll Enjoy



    * 🥑 Average avocado consumption per person in the U.S.: 8+ lbs/year
    * 🧺 California produces over **90% of U.S. avocados**
    * 🌱 Hass variety makes up **95% of avocados sold commercially**
    * 💰 Price per avocado ranges from \$0.75 to \$2.00 retail
    * 📈 Direct-to-consumer sales can net 2–3x wholesale pricing

    ✅ Just a Pit of Humor



    If your avocados are as smooth as your legal briefs, you might be the first produce vendor to get a standing ovation *and* a subpoena in the same week.

    ✅ Bottom Line



    You *can* sell your Fallbrook avocados in Spring Valley, La Mesa, and Lemon Grove, but you’ll need the proper licenses and location approvals to go retail, roadside, or market-bound. ✅
