Hi Amari, The Wig Manor is off to a smart start by getting the paperwork right first. Clients who fall in love with a texture or brand reorder again and again, so a strong online shop can build a devoted community. The Mississippi sales tax permit comes first here, because it is what lets you collect sales tax and buy inventory wholesale. Here is what we will cover: how to structure The Wig Manor, the tax IDs it needs, and the licenses that let you open in Pinola, then a quick recap.
Wigs, bundles, and frontals are taxable goods in Mississippi, so you need a Mississippi sales tax permit to collect tax on orders from Mississippi buyers, and it lets you buy inventory from suppliers on a resale certificate. Shopify does not collect tax automatically, so you will set tax rules in the store, and orders into other states may carry duties once you pass each state's threshold. Keep supplier invoices, since hair products often come from importers and you want proof of what you paid. Register The Wig Manor as a trade name, and think about packaging that arrives looking as good as the product.
By the numbers: Banks, insurers, and tax forms will ask for your industry code. For an online hair extension shop it is NAICS 446120 (Cosmetics, Beauty Supplies, and Perfume Stores), 456120 under the 2022 update. With 1 employee planned, you are already creating jobs in Pinola. That makes 6 items on your list.
Tip: Vet suppliers with sample orders before buying in bulk, and keep invoices that show the origin and grade of each shipment.
To recap: The Wig Manor in Pinola, MS needs a sales tax permit, an LLC, a DBA, an EIN, a state employer ID, and a business license. Check them off one by one and you will open with confidence.

Here's How to Get Your OH Seller's Permit and Other permits and Registrations You May Need.
OH 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.
