Congratulations on Vixens Treasure’s! Handmade necklaces, earrings, and engraved pieces make perfect gifts, so sales spike around every holiday and birthday. Your first stop is the Indiana Registered Retail Merchant Certificate: it makes your sales legal and your wholesale buying tax-free with a resale certificate. Here is what we will cover: how to structure Vixens Treasure’s, the tax IDs it needs, and the licenses that let you open in Bluffton, then a quick recap.
Handmade jewelry sold at craft shows is taxable in Indiana, and show organizers often ask to see a registered retail merchant certificate before assigning a table. It also lets you buy beads, chain, and clasps for resale without paying tax on them. Your Facebook store orders are taxable when shipped to Indiana addresses, and orders going to other states are tracked by destination in case you pass a threshold. Selling from home means checking local home-business rules about visitors and inventory. Keep a small receipt book or card reader record for each show, and enjoy the first time someone slips a piece on at your table.
By the numbers: Banks, insurers, and tax forms will ask for your industry code. For a jewelry business it is NAICS 339910 (Jewelry and Silverware Manufacturing). With 1 employee planned, you are already creating jobs in Bluffton. That makes 6 items on your list.
Tip: Describe metals and materials honestly in every listing, since mislabeling gold or silver content can break the law.

Here's How to Get Your IN Seller's Permit and Other permits and Registrations You May Need.
IN Seller's Permit, LLC, DBA, Licenses & Tax IDs Requirements:
Start with a Connecticut sales and use tax permit. A thrift and consignment shop sells taxable goods to the public, so you must collect sales tax, and consigned items count as your sales too.
• Trade name: a DBA if you operate under a shop name as a sole proprietor, though an LLC would separate the shop's debts from your own. • EIN: useful for banking and required once you hire anyone. • Local business license and zoning approval for the Bridgeport storefront, plus any certificate of occupancy for the space. • Written consignment agreements with each seller, spelling out the split and the holding period. • Employer accounts for unemployment and withholding if you add staff.
Secondhand dealer rules sometimes apply to jewelry or electronics, so ask us before stocking those.
In Mississippi you would register for a sales tax permit. That registration is what lets you hand wholesalers a resale certificate, so you buy inventory without paying sales tax on it, and it also obliges you to collect tax on sales to Mississippi customers.
As a sole proprietor you can run under your own name, or file a DBA if you want a brand name on your website and invoices. Many wholesalers also ask for an EIN, which keeps your Social Security number off paperwork. Check whether your town wants a local privilege or business license even for a home-based online shop. If you will sell into other states in volume, you may owe sales tax registration there too. An LLC is optional but worth considering once sales grow, and we can file every piece of this for you.
Your cosmetology license covers the services you perform, but selling products is a separate matter. In Ohio you need a vendor's license, since you will be collecting sales tax on every bottle and tool sold to a client.
That same vendor's license lets you buy product from distributors using a resale certificate, so you stop paying tax at the wholesale counter. If you work from a salon booth, ask the owner whether sales run through their register or yours, because that decides whose license is used. Add an EIN, and an LLC or DBA if you want a brand name on your invoices. Your contractor license does not figure into retail, so unless you sell in a store you lease, a local business license is the only other piece. We can file the vendor's license and EIN for you.
