This section of the forum is for discussing the business and finance issues of the t-shirt industry. Which business structure to use (sole proprietor, LLC, S Corp, etc), how to handle billing, where to register your business and get the proper licensing, etc.
I went to Vancouver City Hall, filled out the application/description of business, they asked me a few questions, I paid $160, they handed me the license.
I used legalzoom.com to set up my LLC it cost a little more but all you have to do is fill out a simple online form and they did the rest for me. Very easy and worth it if you have no idea how to go about doing it.
On the same topic ... if your state does not tax items of clothing would you still need a federal tax id?
Yes, I found that most suppliers will give you a better deal or may not even sell to you unless you have one. SanMar for example would not sell to me at all until I got my tax id #
Are we talking business licenses, commercial licenses, resale licenses, trademarked licenses, tax-credit licenses, dog licenses, wild game licenses, importation of nuclear material licenses?

yes, I'm talking about all types of licenses you may need in the t-shirt imprint industry.
Please do go ahead and share what Licenses you have and how you got them.
because to become an LLC, it's anyway from like $300.00 to $600.00 for a site like legalzoom.com to do it for you, which would include the state fee, or it's about $1500.00 from an attorney.

well my brothers friend opened up a motorcycle shop, so i asked him how to go about it and told me to go to town hall and ask them. I went there and they only charged me $20. My buddy is also opening up a business but his town tried charging him like $650 for the same thing...I guess it just depends where you live.
Need License ? how do you do it ?
