Hey ,

Thanks alot Mrad . I appreciate the advice , and rest assured I will definately use it.

I just started this myself last week, I went online to Tax and Accounting Sites Directory clicked on state/federal, then click on the state you live in. So far I've only had to get a business license through the state. Hope this helps, good luck!!

I will try that Jenny. So thats all I need to get merchandise at wholesale (Business License) or do I need a sellers permit as well?

I should be hearing back from the state some time this week, so I'll keep you posted. I downloaded my form online from that site, If you could get to your states home page they should tell you step by step what you need to do. Good luck!

Hey Jennifer ,
Thanks for the link to the Sales and Tax offices. I was wondering if you heard anything from the state yet?

Jennilyn012 · March 19th, 2007

well, they ran my check through the bank last week

Did that sight help you any?

Eric Anthony California · March 19th, 2007

You had to send them a check? May I ask for what?

there is usually some cost involved in getting business licences etc.. sometimes when you get a tax resale number you have to put a deposit or bond down.

When we got our licences here in calif.. first we had to get a fictious business name.. then sales tax number, then our business licence.

Thanks

I appreciate that information. Now I know what to expect. Tell me , once you sent in your application to the board of equalization what did they request at that point in the mail , better yet what was the next step?

Any advise is appreciated

Jennilyn012 · March 20th, 2007

After I downloaded my application, In wv you have to send $30 application fee. It depends though on if it's a sole proprietorship or incorporated, etc. Every state may be different. Make sure you look on your states web site and check the business names, you want to make sure someone's not using the name you want to use. Trust me, it's all new to me too!

Jenn.
