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 just got my LLC business certificate back. Which means now that I have my charter number I can finally get my vendor's license.
I just have a few more things to research before I begin selling. Does anyone know of a good CPA in Cincinnati? I'm not clear on the sales tax I am supposed to charge and I also want to sit down and get everything setup properly to "try" and save myself some headache down the road.
Also my husband and I are not sure on renewing. In Ohio when do you renew your business license or do you at all? I thought I had read somewhere it was every year for 25$. But that doesn't sound right to my husband.
I have my EIN and charter number and I'm going to look for a CPA. Is there anything else I should research before beginning to sell?
I have wanted to do this for 2 years but put it off because all the legalities honestly just scared me. But when my FIL passed late last year it put a lot into perspective for my husband and I. I left my job to purse something I love. I just want to get it as right as possible right off the bat...at least try.
your cpa will know all about the sales taxes in Ohio. also, buy a
good book on starting a small business. the dummies books are
very good and I think there's one on starting a small business.
God Speed.
