What legal Business Licenses & Permits are required to start my business?

 

In this you will learn whether you need:

If you already decided on the type of service or product to sell, you are ready to start your  business.  The next thing you need is to choose a legal business entity:

There are advantages and disadvantages of sole proprietorship, partnership and corporation.  However, if you are ready to operate your business,  just go ahead and get the required documents: 

First, legally, all businesses must file and record a Business Fictitious Trade Name (otherwise called an assumed name, firm name or trade Business Fictitious Trade Name )  or Incorporate the Business if they do business in a Business Fictitious Trade Name (e.g.,  Carpet Express)  other than their own personal name (e.g., John Smith), a Business Fictitious Trade Name , or Incorporate

Benefits: You need a Business Fictitious Trade Name statement certificate or a corporation certificate  so you can open a merchant or business bank account, discourage competitors from using your Business Fictitious Trade Name , and enforce contracts you entered into under the Business Fictitious Trade Name .   

Second, legally, all businesses that have employees, or are a corporate business entity such as a corporation, LLC, or Limited Partnership, must Get a  federal Tax Id Number Number.  Note that you may need a federal Tax Id Number to Get a Wholesaler's or Retailer's Buyer's License and you definitely are required to have one if you have employees.   What is a federal Tax Id Number Number? In addition, think about it... You open a business bank account using your social security number.... a check bounces... whose credit is ruined?  Protect your credit.  Get a federal id and use it to open a business bank account.

Third, legally, in most cases, businesses that have employees must Get a  State Employer Number (EIN) Number: EIN Employer ID. Note that you need to have a federal Tax Id Number before you can get a State Employer Number (EIN) Number.

Fourth,  In General,  it  is unlawful for any person, to  carry on any business, trade, profession, calling, occupation or gainful activity without a Wholesaler's or Retailer's Buyer's License if the business buys to resell or sells wholesale or retail taxable services or tangible items.  A Resale License is the same as a Seller's Permit, Sales Tax Certification, Wholesale License.  Example, you sell computers or clothing online or on eBay in California (CA) ... you need a sellers permit to buy wholesale tax free.  When you sell, you charge taxes (collect taxes) to pay to government later.  You also need a Wholesaler's or Retailer's Buyer's License if the services you provide are taxable to the public.

Fifth, Business License or Permit :   legally
, in most cases, all businesses must be licensed before they can begin to operate.  If an individual or company is found either operating a business or conducting business without a Business License or Permit , he or she will be subject to significant fines and/or penalties.
  Note: you need  a Business Fictitious Trade Name to open a bank account - not a business license.
