Do you have to get a license for this?

Question

I am starting a website and I want to sell the things I make on there. I told my friend that and she said I have to have a license to do that. Is that true? And where can I get one? I need some more information on it. Thanks

Answer 1

It depends on your county. Go to the county clerk's office to check the requirements.

In most states. they do not require a business license to sell on the web, unlike Main Street stores which needs a license to operate. But you need to register the business.

If you will sell, however, you may need to check with your state's Department of Revenue and get a sales tax permit so you can collect taxes on the sales from your state.

But go to your county clerk's office - or check if your county has a website and find out if they post the requirements a business needs to operate

Answer 2

You do need to register your business name even if it's just a sole proprietorship but that's simple to do. You may need a resellers license (sales tax license) if your state requires you to collect sales tax for sales made within your home state.
