Setting up your Interior Design business

First, check the Interior Design Legal and Tax Business Structure

To set up and register your Interior Design business it does not matter whether your business is an online, home, store, concession stand or a mobile cart, you will have to first select a business type entity from these tax structures:

Namely, from sole owner/proprietor, partnership, LLC or corporation.

It does not matter which Interior Design business entity you choose as far as a General Business License is concerned because all entities need a business license and that is because all businesses need, well, a business license. (Note that that is not a specific license to your type of business it is a BUSINESS license) as well.

Using a Interior Design company trade name subjects you to having to file a DBA . For instance, your name is Donald Tramp, and you do business as Best Items By Tramp, the Tramp name must be registered with a DBA Doing Business As certificate because it is not your full legal name (namely, Donald Tramp.

Also, note that whatever item that you sell or lease and it is an Interior Design 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. The sellers permit is also called a sales tax ID, a state ID (there are 2 state IDs and the other one is called an state employer ID but you most likely need the sales tax ID from the state ).

Getting people to work for your Interior Design business anytime 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 if you are a partnership, an independent contractor, and a corporation or an LLC .

It is always a good idea 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 Interior Design filings business tax registrations, such as permits, a fictitious business name DBA, and tax IDs as described above. For example, if you want to be an LLC, you must obtain an LLC certificate and an LLC operating agreement as well as an EIN.

You need the EIN to be the LLC ID in addition to being an Employer ID if you hire workers.

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.

A DBA stands for Doing Business As and it is also called a fictitious, assumed, trade firm or business certificate trade name.
