Hi Saradjine, Fleur De Nuit is an exciting name to see on a new business in Canton. Scent is tied to memory and mood, so customers who find a fragrance they love come back for it again and again. Your first stop is the Massachusetts sales and use tax registration: it makes your sales legal and your wholesale buying tax-free with a resale certificate. Below we walk through the three things every new business in Massachusetts sorts out (structure, tax IDs, and licenses) and then sum it all up.
Perfume is taxable everywhere in Massachusetts, so your seller's permit will be the document that lets you sell Fleur de Nuit online and buy bottles and packaging without paying tax on the items that go into resale. Because you are formulating the scent yourself, labeling, ingredient lists and an allergen warning matter more than most small sellers realize, and a product liability insurance policy is worth the premium. With five employees, plan on payroll registration as well. An LLC is a sensible shell for a product that touches customers' skin. Check your name before printing labels, so a competitor cannot claim it.
By the numbers: Banks, insurers, and tax forms will ask for your industry code. For a perfume business it is NAICS 446120 (Cosmetics, Beauty Supplies, and Perfume Stores), 456120 under the 2022 update. With 5 employees planned, you are already creating jobs in Canton. That makes 6 items on your list.
Tip: Learn the shipping rules for flammable liquids before you mail perfume, since carriers restrict alcohol-based fragrances.
To recap: Fleur De Nuit in Canton, MA needs a sales tax permit, an LLC, a DBA, an EIN, a state employer ID, and a business license. Get those in place and you can spend your time on customers instead of paperwork.

Congratulations on Especially! Scent is tied to memory and mood, so customers who find a fragrance they love come back for it again and again. The Texas sales and use tax permit comes first here, because it is what lets you collect sales tax and buy inventory wholesale. Below we walk through the three things every new business in Texas sorts out (structure, tax IDs, and licenses) and then sum it all up.

To recap: Especially in Amarillo, TX needs a sales tax permit, an LLC, a DBA, an EIN, a state employer ID, and a business license. With the paperwork done, the fun part begins: serving your first customers.
Here's How to Get Your MA Seller's Permit and Other permits and Registrations You May Need.
MA 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.
