An overview of retail business licenses and permits
Here are a few of the most important retail business licenses and permissions you'll need:
Federal Tax ID
To begin, you will require an Employer Identification Number (EIN), which will be used by the government to identify your company.
This is a simple process that may be completed for free online.
Certificate of occupancy
This is a certificate for your retail business's actual property. To receive this accreditation, the property must pass building inspections, fire department inspections, and health and safety inspections.
Keep in mind that your sector and state may have additional inspection requirements.
Resale certificate
This is a permit that allows your retail outlet to purchase tax-exempt items from a distributor.
This sort of certificate is known by a different name in each state. This is essential for your business since it permits you to collect sales tax from clients and remit it to the state.
DBA Certificate/Business name registration
You will very certainly require a Doing Business As (DBA) certificate, which is essentially a registration of your business name if it is not your own personal name.
This is usually included when you apply for a corporate business structure.
Professional licenses (if applicable)
Depending on your sector, you may require further professional certification.
Additional occupational licensure is required, for example, if you are a pharmacist, a hairdresser, or an optometrist. You can find out if you need this through your industry's trade group.
These are just a few of the additional certifications and licenses you may require for your retail business.
Depending on where your store is located and the industry in which you operate, you may require extra license, such as:
- Alcohol & Tobacco sales
- Building construction permits
- Health & sanitation permits
