| I WOULD SELL COOKIES FROM THE STATE OF DELAWARE ON LINE FROM MY WEBSITE TO PEOPLE IN AMERICA USING SHOPIFY.
A: Hi Gary, Starting Your hobby Cookies in New Castle, 19702, County requires the registration of the LLC
as well as other licensing, which is discussed below:
First thing to consider is a business license. This license is required by all businesses because a government authorizes it after certain conditions such as a health or hygiene one.
For example, cooking from home it may require a health inspection.
The other license pertinent to selling cookies is a seller's permit, which includes a resale certificate that Gary has to fill out, sign and fax or email to the wholesaler so s/he can prove to the wholesaler that s/he has a resale ID number.
So, for instance, if you sell 100 cookies @ $1 each to a client, you will need to charge him $100 plus about 8%.
Since you are interested in setting up an LLC
, you will need an LLC
articles of organization certificate as well as an LLC
operating agreement because the latter sets out information such as who the owner of the LLC
is.
Finally, if you are or will become an employer, you will have to obtain 2 tax IDs: a federal EIN and a State EIN. The Federal EIN is also serves as an ID for your LLC
.

In
New Castle
you need a resale ID ( AKA seller's permit) if you selling touchable items.
(A.K.A state id, wholesale, resale,
reseller certificate, about $39 for most states).
Seller's Permit
Note: All businesses need a federal tax ID number except sole proprietors that are not employers and are not independent contractors.
An independent contractor is a self employed business person that receives more than $600 per year from anyone of his or her clients.
IRS rule: The client must issue a 1099 form to the independent contractor and the independent contractor must have a federal tax ID.
However, even sole owners may obtain a federal ID and use it as a business tax ID instead of using their own social security number as a
business tax ID number.
However, all other licenses that apply to sole proprietors as discussed here are requited regardless of getting
a federal tax ID number.
In addition you will need a federal and a state EIN if you will hire employees.
I.e., a New Castle Federal Tax Id Number ($29) and a(n) New Castle State Employer Tax Number
Instead of filing a fictitious business name DBA Filing (about $49 plus state and legal newspaper publication fees) in
Bear, Incorporate in New Castle or form a(n) New Castle LLC .
Filing a DBA is not required if you will set up an LLC or form a Corporation.
If you will do business under your first and last legal name you will not need to get a fictitious business name.
Also note that even using your first and last name may not help you avoid filing a DBA if the name has a suffix such as "& sons" etc.
If you do form an llc or incorporate (about $49 plus state fees for most states) your business instead of just filing a fictitious business name (dba),
it will help you avoid personal liability from wrongs arising from your business dealings and you will not have to file the Bear business name.
In lieu of recording a New Castle County trade company name (our filing service fee includes trade name registration and newspaper legal publication for 4 weeks) you can also form a corporation in
New Castle or form an New Castle LLC (starts @ $49 plus state fee for most states & includes bylaws for the corporation and Limited Liability operating agreement for the LLC that is required to open a business bank account). .
