My business is home based and I sell custom made furniture and home accessories. I have an online store where I have the ability to sell nationwide. I soon want to open an etsy shop as well as another sells channel.

Basic Business Structure and Registration

For a custom furniture and home accessories business operating from home with online sales channels, you'll want to consider establishing an LLC or S-corporation. An LLC offers personal asset protection while maintaining operational flexibility, whereas an S-corporation can provide tax advantages through salary and dividend distributions. An EIN (Employer Identification Number) functions as your business's tax ID, required for opening business bank accounts, filing taxes, hiring employees, and establishing vendor relationships.

Primary Business Licenses and Permits

Essential licenses include a seller's permit (also called resale license), which allows you to collect sales tax from customers and purchase inventory wholesale without paying sales tax. You'll need this for both your website and Etsy shop. Since you're manufacturing custom furniture, you may also need special permits related to woodworking, finishing, and storing materials. Here's what you'll specifically need:
  • Business License
  • Seller's Permit/Resale Certificate
  • Home Occupation Permit
  • DBA (Doing Business As) if operating under a name different from your LLC
  • Sales Tax License for each state where you have nexus



  • Here's How to Get Your Seller's Permit and Other permits and Registrations You May Need. Seller's Permit, LLC, DBA, Licenses & Tax IDs Requirements:

  • Protects personal assets from business liabilities

  • Offers tax flexibility

  • Builds credibility with customers and suppliers

  • Makes it easier to scale and add sales channels

  • Essential Business Numbers


  • EIN (Employer Identification Number): Your business's tax ID for filing taxes, opening bank accounts, and working with suppliers

  • Seller's Permit: Required for collecting and remitting sales tax on your products

  • Business License: Needed for operating your home-based business

  • Insurance Considerations


  • General liability insurance: Protects against customer injuries from your products

  • Product liability insurance: Specific coverage for furniture-related claims

  • Business property insurance: Covers your equipment and inventory

  • Record Keeping Systems


  • Inventory management system

  • Order tracking software

  • Accounting software for expense and revenue tracking

  • Customer relationship management (CRM) system
  • Speaking of furniture making - you might say this business requires you to really get your act together, unlike that wobbly table at your local coffee shop! But seriously, proper structure and documentation will give you a solid foundation to build upon.

    Legal and Tax Business Structure

    Whether your business is an online, home, store, concession stand or a mobile cart, you will have to first select from these business, tax entities: Namely, from sole owner/proprietor, partnership, LLC or corporation. It does not matter which one you choose when it comes to a     General Business License   because all entities need that one.   (Note that that is not a specific license to your type of business it is a BUSINESS license) as well.  Using a company name subjects you to having to file a  DBA  . For instance, your name is Marylin Boe, and you do business as Best Items By Marylin, the name must be registered with a   DBA Doing Business As certificate   because it is not your full legal name (namely, Marylin Boe). Also, note that whatever item that you sell or lease and it is an item that can be touched (i.e., tangible such as equipment, jewelry, merchandise, electronics, prepared food) requires a sales  ID (  Sellers Permit  ) to either buy or sell the items or products wholesale from companies that sell in bulk and or sell them retail directly to consumers. Getting people to work for you within 30 days of starting your business subjects you having to get a  Federal EIN   and a   State EIN   (employer identification number). On the other hand, you will also need a federal tax ID are: if you are a partnership, an independent contractor, and a corporation or an   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 filings, such as permits, a fictitious business name DBA, and tax IDs as described above. Finally, even  sole proprietor working from home or just online can set up a LLC or incorporate, in which case, they will not need to register the trade name with a dba because the LLC or Corporation name will be the legal name of the business.

    Selling pets.do you need a seller permit and a business license or can you just have a sellers permit.

    Do I need a federal tax ID EIN or no? I work through Rover Pet Sitting Services but they don't pay me. I get paid through clients that ask for my pet sitting services on the Rover Website.



    I get paid after I care for their pets. I would be doing dog walks, check in visits, and pet sitting services at the clients home. But I am not employing anyone so isn't an EIN only for employers?



    So to pet sit, dog walk, check in visits, and house sit for my business all I need is a Business License and an EIN?



    Oh ok. I also currently have a part time job for an animal rescue. Would my EIN registration for my pet sitting visit affect my current tax documents involving that job or will the new EIN be for my pet sitting business?

    You don't need any permits to sell your own personal pets unless they are venomous or exotic, If you are wanting to make it a business then you would have to take certain steps to be an actual business.





    what they require as far as license,insurance,tax payer Id, etc and a city inspector will come out an inspect your place of business to make sure everything is up to par they should be able to tell you everything you would need to know.



    If I were you I would just sell them as your own personal collection and save yourself a whole lot of headache unless your doing this full time.

    I get paid after I care for their pets. I would be doing dog walks, check in visits, and pet sitting services at the clients home. But I am not employing anyone so isn't an EIN only for employers?



    So to pet sit, dog walk, check in visits, and house sit for my business all I need is a Business License and an EIN?



    Oh ok. I also currently have a part time job for an animal rescue. Would my EIN registration for my pet sitting visit affect my current tax documents involving that job or will the new EIN be for my pet sitting business?

    You don't need any permits to sell your own personal pets unless they are venomous or exotic, If you are wanting to make it a business then you would have to take certain steps to be an actual business.





    what they require as far as license,insurance,tax payer Id, etc and a city inspector will come out an inspect your place of business to make sure everything is up to par they should be able to tell you everything you would need to know.



    If I were you I would just sell them as your own personal collection and save yourself a whole lot of headache unless your doing this full time.

    Yes, you need a seller's permit.



    Registering Your Own 
     pets  Small New Business 

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

    The above step is important  pets   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  pets   general business permit that all new businesses must obtain. 

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

    However, if you sell pets from a store, you will need an animal transfer license in most states. That is in addition to a general pet store business license.

    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, a seller's permit is required if you sell live pets such as puppies and pet 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 "Cimrofost," you will need to file a doing business as (DBA) filing. 

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

     



    If you are wanting to make it a business then you would have to take certain steps to be an actual business what they require as far as license,insurance,tax payer Id, etc and a city inspector will come out an inspect your place of business to make sure everything is up to par they should be able to tell you everything you would need to know.

    Do I Need a small T-Shirtsshop  Sellers Permit? 

    What other permits and Tax IDs Does a   small tshirt shop Business Needs to Legally Start business operations?  A  small T-Shirts shop   business needs a sellers permit if it sells or T-Shirts.

      
    Furthermore, a general business permit and a federal tax ID number is also required for any of the above business type organizations.  

    The only exception to a federal tax ID number is a sole proprietor, who can use a ss# instead of a Federal ID.  However, even sole proprietors as well as all other business type organizations that are employers, independent contractors, LLCs, or corporation must obtain a federal tax ID number.  

    tshirt business organization, including sole owners, must obtain a state employer tax ID if hiring employees.  Finally, a  tshirt store  sole owner (i.e., an one person business) can obtain and use a federal ID as a business tax ID instead of the social security number and, in addition, he or she can form an LLC or set up a corporation instead of organizing as a sole proprietor.

      
    T-Shirts stores businesses do not need any surety bond insurance either but they can optionally purchase it and also purchase a general liability business insurance or home business insurance.
