applies to online, home, mobile and all LLCs, Sole Propr., Partnerships, & Corps in , .

REQUIRED LICENSES Legal Structure Whether an online, home, store, concession stand or a mobile cart, you will need to first select among sole owner/proprietor, partnership, LLC or corporation, all of which also require a General Business License (not a specific license to your type of business) as well.

If your trade name is a meal catering business name other than your full personal legal name, you will need to file a DBA . For instance, your name is John Doe, and you do business as Best Widgets By John, the name must be registered with a DBA Biz Name because it is not your full legal name.

Also, note that whatever item that you sell or lease and it is an item that can be touched (i.e., tangible such as equipment, toys, meal catering merchandise, electronics, prepared food) requires a state sales tax ID ( Seller's Permit ) to either buy or sell the items or products wholesale and or sell them retail. If you are hiring workers anytime soon, you will need a Federal EIN and a State EIN (employer identification number). Other instances that you will need a federal tax ID are: if you are a partnership, an independent contractor, and a corporation or an LLC .

You can also obtain a federal tax ID as a meal catering sole proprietor and use it as a business tax ID in the place of a social security number. However, you will still need other meal catering registrations, such as licenses, an assumed business name DBA, and tax IDs as described above.

Finally, even one person, sole owner/proprietors working from home or just online can form a LLC or incorporate, in which case, they will not need to file a DBA.

  • First, Catering Services business entity formation: All businesses using a trade name need to register the trade name with an assumed business name LLC or Corporation. Your LLC selection also registers the trade name.

  • Second, setting up an LLC is a good choice but you will also need a sales tax ID to buy in bulk and sell in small amounts since you will need to charge and remit sales tax Catering Servicesmeal catering in SC, to the state of SC.

  • SC Seller's Permit Information Summary

    Charleston North Charleston Columbia State of South Carolina South Carolina Columbia South Carolina SC SC  
    Third,   Catering Services as a small business is inside of 20% of 30 million businesses that have employees because you said that you will have one employee that subjects you to have to register for employment state and federal taxes. That requires an employer ID from the IRS and an employer ID from the state.

  • Fourth,   the business entity must be formed. However since the fictititious business name :"Sethc Cook For You kaNexas29651"   Catering Services must be recorded with a(an) Greenville County assumed business name. You do not need an assumed business name if you form an LLC or a corporation however.

  • Fifth,   Catering Services businesses in 29651, must get a Greer business license because considerations such as zoning as well as hygiene issues must be resolved before the business starts..

A:Got to www.GetFreeLLC.com for business licensing information.
Q:What is the difference between an LLC and a corporation?.

Q:How do I file an LLC?
LLC A: The creation of an LLC occurs when the articles of organization are recorded. You need to fill out the certificate and file it. Normally a state fee is involved and the llc may have to be published in some states. Other than that you just need an LLC agreement and you will be an LLC.
Q:Do I need an LLC operating agreement to form an LLC?
A: You do not legally need an LLC agreement but on the other hand it is the only document that shows who owns the LLC. It contains the rights and duties of the members as well as the percentage of ownership of each member.
Q:   What are the differences between a limited liability company and a partnership?
A:The important difference between an LLC and a general partnership is that the LLC affords protection as a corporation does so you are not personally liable for business debts as is the case with a partnership.
Q:What do I need to know before I set up an LLC?
A:You may want to look into securities law if you are a passive investor in the LLC because you may have to register the sale of membership certificates with the SEC.

I am an interior designer that resides in PA and work from my home office - sole member LLC. I do not have a DBA name. I have my LLC formed in DE. The bulk of my work is in DE. I have a DE business license, FED EIN but am unsure if I need a DE wholesale license for reselling or should I be doing it in PA along with a PA business license?
6/10/2025 3:27 AM

ANSWER: 

As an interior designer, you will need a wholesale license to buy the design materials wholesale, so you will not have to pay taxes on them. 🏛️

Licenses & Permits Checklist ✅

  • DE Business License ✅ Required for operating in Delaware.
  • PA Business License ✅ Needed if conducting business in Pennsylvania.
  • DE Wholesale License ✅ Necessary if purchasing goods tax-free for resale.
  • PA Sales Tax Permit ✅ Required to collect sales tax on taxable services/goods in PA.
  • Home Occupation Permit (PA) ✅ Check local zoning laws for home-based business rules.
  • Professional Interior Design Certification (Optional) ✅ Not mandatory but adds credibility.

Why These Licenses?

The DE Business License covers your LLC’s operations in Delaware, while the PA Business License ensures compliance if you’re working locally. If you’re reselling items, the DE Wholesale License lets you buy inventory tax-free. The PA Sales Tax Permit is a must if you charge clients for taxable goods/services in Pennsylvania.

Home Office & Professional Stuff

A Home Occupation Permit might be needed depending on your township’s rules—some areas are strict about home businesses. While not required, a Professional Certification (like NCIDQ) can impress clients. Obtain all licenses and registrations here online. 📝 Keep records tidy—you’re an interior designer, after all!

🏢 I want to form an llc for each apartment building I will buy. What other licenses/ forms do I need if the llc will have only one member (a disregarded entity?) and no employees?

✅ Licenses & Registrations for Your LLC-Owned Apartment Buildings

  • LLC Formation
  • DBA (If Operating Under a Fictitious Name)
  • Business License
  • Seller’s Permit (If Charging Sales Tax on Services)
  • Local Rental Housing Registration
  • Zoning Permits
  • Building Permits (For Renovations)

🔍 What Each One Does

The LLC Formation is your legal shield—it separates your personal assets from the building’s liabilities. A DBA is only necessary if you’re operating under a name that isn’t the LLC’s legal name. The Business License is the golden ticket letting you operate legally, while a Seller’s Permit is only needed if you’re collecting sales tax (uncommon for rentals, but check your services).

🏡 Property-Specific Must-Haves

Most cities require a Rental Housing Registration to track landlords. Zoning Permits ensure your property is legally allowed to be rented, and Building Permits come into play if you’re upgrading units. Obtain all licenses and registrations here online—because paperwork should be easy, even if tenants aren’t. 📑 🏘️ ⚖️

🌭 I am wanting to start a hot dog cart business, wondering what all I need to have for Lakeland fl.

6/10/2025 3:22 AM
🌭

✅ Hot Dog Cart Licenses & Permits Checklist

  • Business Registration (DBA, LLC, or Corporation)
  • Seller’s Permit (Sales Tax ID)
  • Mobile Food Vendor Permit
  • Food Service License
  • Local Health Department Permit
  • Fire Safety Inspection (if using propane)
  • Employer Identification Number (EIN) (if hiring)

🔍 Brief Breakdown

A DBA registers your business name, but an LLC or Corporation adds legal protection. The Seller’s Permit lets you collect sales tax—because even hot dogs aren’t tax-free. A Mobile Food Vendor Permit confirms you’re allowed to sell from a cart, and the Food Service License proves your snacks won’t haunt customers. Health inspections keep things clean, and a Fire Safety Inspection ensures your cart won’t turn into a flamethrower.

🚀 Pro Tip

Obtain all licenses and registrations online—no need to stand in line unless it’s for your own hot dogs. Keep everything current, because expired permits are as disappointing as a cold wiener. 🌭 📋 💰 🔥

🧵 I want to start a longarm quilting business. I would like to buy whole sale. I have no employees Mostly, I will be providing quilting service. But I will sell some items. Home business. I all ready have an EIN. Do I need a seller's permit?

6/10/2025 3:20 AM
🧵

✅ Licenses & Permits Checklist for Your Longarm Quilting Business

  • Seller’s Permit ✅ Required to collect sales tax on tangible goods (like fabric or finished quilts).
  • Business License ✅ A general license to operate legally in your area.
  • DBA (Doing Business As) ✅ If your business name differs from your legal name.
  • Home Occupation Permit ✅ Often needed for home-based businesses.
  • LLC/Corporation Registration ✅ Optional but recommended for liability protection.

🔍 Seller’s Permit

Since you’ll sell items (even occasionally), a seller’s permit is necessary to collect and remit sales tax. Without it, tax authorities might give you the side-eye.

🏠 Home Occupation Permit

Running a business from home? Some localities require this permit to ensure your quilting magic doesn’t disrupt the neighborhood.

📜 DBA or LLC/Corp

A DBA registers your trade name, while an LLC or corporation shields your personal assets. Pick your level of legal armor. Obtain all licenses and registrations here online. Happy quilting! 🧵✨

What limits the liability?

The liability part is the part that is kind of legal.
