   A: Actually, in Ohio, the seller's permit is called a "Vendor's" permit.  So you only need the vendor's license also called a seller's permit.  To recap, you will need at least 2 license permits for your resale business : A business license, and a seller's permit.  The seller's permit is required because you need it to buy the Candles wholesale and sell it retail...   In addition, since " Scentual," is a fictitious business name, you will need to register it with a DBA, LLC or corporation.  If you are a partnership, an LLC or corporation or even an independent sole owner contractor, you will also need an federal EIN. Finally, if you will hire anytime soon, you will need a State EIN.

   A: IMPORTANT: In Yuma, if you file an LLC or Corp., you don't need a DBA filing. LLC or DBA, not both.... You need at least a BUSINESS LICENSE. Finally, since you are using a trade name, such as "Smelly Sancho," you will need a DBA filing, or, alternatively, you can form an LLC or set up a corporation and that will register your trade name. In addition, note that, since you selling candles, and  you want to buy or sell wholesale(in bulk) or sell retail(in small amounts) any candles or candle materials, items or equipment, you need a SELLER'S PERMIT.
