Al's Guide to Legit Business Endeavors

Dear Al, the notorious clothier,

First off, let's address the elephant in the room: You, running a clothing business? We've seen stranger things. But, if you're going legit, let's get you suited up (pun intended).

LLC: If you want to keep your Tommy guns separate from your Tommy Hilfiger, an LLC is your best bet. It'll protect your personal assets, should someone not like the cut of your jib... or your jeans.

DBA: "Doing Business As" is like your alias in the business world. So, instead of "Al's Suspiciously Bulletproof Vests", you could go with something more subtle. Maybe "Capone's Couture"?

Tax ID: Yes, Al, even in the world of fashion, Uncle Sam wants his cut. A seller's permit lets you collect sales tax, and if you're hiring, you'll need employer IDs. Remember, tax evasion is so last season.

So, to sum it up: Go legit, get your paperwork, and maybe, just maybe, you'll be remembered for your pinstripes and not your criminal enterprises.

"Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society." - Mark Twain

Q. What type of licenses I need in order to start Home Business in Mongolia County, CA?

I am a decorator and make custom designs for clothing and sell to customers in California and all 50 states from home. Hi Hokum, you need to have a wholesale license also called a seller's permit because that way the government keeps track of Custom Design Clothing sales taxable sales.

The sales tax in CA is 7.5% and comprises two parts: a state portion and a local portion. The general state tax rate is 7.5%. The local tax rate varies by county and/or city.

A. You will need at least 4 filings:

1. A Business License

2. A seller's permit (to buy clothing wholesale),

3. A DBA, LLC, or Corporation

4. An Employer ID Number (EIN)

5. If you hire help, a State Employer ID (SEIN).

First, check out the Business Tax Structure.

Second, to buy and Sell Online Store Apparel items wholesale, you will need a seller's permit because you can buy them tax-free, and also you will be able to report your sales tax amounts with the seller's permit number also called a sales tax ID.

Third, all businesses are required to get a business license.

Fourth: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.

Firth: The seller's permit 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).

Sixth: 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.

Alright, so you want to start selling clothes online? Buckle up and get ready for some paperwork, my friend. You're gonna need to file not one, not two, but at least FOUR different documents. That's right, you'll be signing more papers than a celebrity divorce lawyer.

First on the list is the Business License. Without it, you might as well be selling clothes out of the trunk of your car. And let's be real, that's not the kind of "mobile boutique" you want to be.

Next up, the seller's permit. Think of it as your VIP pass to the wholesale party. With this baby, you'll be able to buy your inventory tax-free, and report your sales tax amounts with the seller's permit number. It's like having a secret handshake with Uncle Sam.

Now, let's talk structure. You'll need to choose between a sole owner/proprietor, LLC, or corporation. It's like picking your Hogwarts house, except with more paperwork and less magic.

Oh, and don't forget the DBA, which is short for "doing business as." It's the alias your business will be operating under. Think of it as your alter ego, like Beyoncé's Sasha Fierce, but for selling clothes.

STARTING A CLOTHING BUSINESS

I want to sell clothing and accessories online. I will buy the clothes then I will resell them online.

Last but not least, you'll need an Employer ID Number (EIN). And if you plan on hiring any help, you'll also need a State Employer ID (SEIN). It's like building your own army, but instead of swords and shields, they come armed with hangers and price tags.

So there you have it, the not-so-glamorous side of starting an online clothing business. But hey, at least you'll have plenty of papers to start your own confetti business, right?

A: Hi Kristie, Selling Clothing Online, Licensing Required:

First is a business license and before issuing a business license, the government considers your location, number of employees, type of business and gross annual income as well as you need to obtain a seller's permit, so you can buy your Clothing Store wholesale.

For example, Kristie started a Clothing Store Materials business from home and wants to buy Clothing Store items wholesale. To buy wholesale, Kristie will need to obtain a seller's permit.

The seller's permit includes a resale certificate that Kristie has to fill out, sign and fax or email to the wholesaler, so she can prove to the wholesaler that she has the seller's permit ID number.

So, for instance, if Kristie buys 10 Clothing Store Materials for $1.00 each, she would have to pay $10 plus sales tax, but since she buys wholesale she buys tax-free, so she pays only $10 instead of assuming the state tax is about 7% tax, $10.70.

As is the case with all businesses, Kristie will also need to obtain a business license. In addition, the assumed business name "Destiny’s Designs," is a fictitious business name and is required to be registered with a DBA, LLC or Corporation. Finally, if Kristie is an employer, she will have to obtain 2 tax IDs: a federal EIN and a State EIN.

I'm looking to open my own clothing store. Why do I need to do so?

Q: I'm considering starting an online Etsy store for homemade products. Would I need a business license?

Q:I am looking to start a candle making business in NY. What kind of permits do I need to do this?

Question 1: "So, you're opening your own clothing store, huh? Congrats! But before you start dreaming about raking in the big bucks, let me ask you this: Do you have your seller's permit? You know, the golden ticket to buying apparel wholesale and avoiding those retail prices that make you want to gouge your eyes out. Without it, you'll be paying full price for those designer duds like a peasant. And nobody wants to be a peasant, right?"

Question 2: "Ah, Etsy. The land of homemade crafts, whimsical trinkets, and questionable fashion choices. But if you're planning on selling your homemade goodies on this platform, you better have your business license in order. Otherwise, you'll be more illegal than a pirate selling knockoff Gucci bags. And trust me, you don't want to mess with the Gucci mafia. So get your license, and get ready to sell like a boss."

Question 3: "Candles, huh? The perfect way to set the mood for a romantic evening, or to cover up the smell of your roommate's questionable cooking. But before you start making those wax wonders, you need to get your permits in order. Because let's face it, nobody wants a candle that's more illegal than a house party during a pandemic. So, get those permits, and let's light this candle-making world on fire!"

Question 1: "Selling candles on Etsy? Well, aren't you just a little entrepreneur! But let me ask you this: are you planning on selling more than just a few candles here and there? Because if so, you might want to consider getting that seller's permit. Because let's be real, the only thing worse than not having a permit is getting caught without one. It's like showing up to a party without pants. You might think it's fine, but everyone else is going to be pretty uncomfortable."

Question 2: "A sewing Etsy shop, huh? Sounds like you're going to be stitching up a storm! But before you get too carried away with all that creativity, you need to make sure you have the right license. Because let's be real, without a license, you're just a person with a sewing machine. And nobody wants to be just a person with a sewing machine. So, get that license and start sewing your way to success!"

Question 3: "Selling women's clothing on Amazon, eh? Well, I guess that means you're in the fashion business! But if you want to keep selling to all 50 states, you better get that certificate to sell clothing. Otherwise, you'll be more illegal than a fashion designer copying Gucci's latest line. And trust me, you don't want to mess with the Gucci mafia. So, get that certificate and keep selling those clothes, New Jersey style!"
