Hi, my name is Jenny and I am starting a cosmetics line but idk what i need ...my question is to start a business what is needed for her LLC to be in her name and do I need a seller's permit for selling online?I am starting my fragrance business. I am starting by selling perfume first but I intend to sale other non cosmetics products as well, such as jewelries, clothings. How do I register my business? Thank you for the help!

A: Hi Jenny, yes, to sell online and in person, you need the seller's permit and we can help you obtain it here online.

   There are three steps to starting a business:

    First, you need to select a business structure.

   Second, you need to obtain licensing.

   Third, you need to register for taxes.

   Even though you will need the LLC to buy the cosmetics items wholesale, the first step involves the assumed business name "Cosmos Cosmetics Llc," which is a fictitious business name and is required to be registered with a DBA, LLC or Corporation.  When you select the structure, you select a DBA if a sole proprietor, and a corporate certificate if an LLC or corporation.

   The second step involves a business license that is required for all businesses.

   The third step involves employment and sales tax.

   For sales tax, you will need a seller's permit.   For instance, if Jenny buys 10   Cosmetics items for $1.00 each, she would have to pay $10 plus sales tax but since she buys wholesale she buys tax free so she pays only $10 instead of assuming the state tax is about 7% tax, $10.70.

      For employment tax, if Marvel is an employer, she will have to obtain 2 more tax IDs: a federal EIN and a State Employment Tax ID Number (SEIN). I need both licenses then? business and seller's permit? I'm planning to sell variety products, such as cosmetics, accessories, etc.different products, such as Maybeline, Lorea'l, Este Lauder, etc,

     Cosmetics retailer shampoos that enable end-user to anneal split ends thereby making hair healthier - softer, fuller, and more manageable - reducing accumulated hair on drain and the number of washings per week

        How much is a business license in garden grove Mine is different please help me with them way- my mom is a cosmetics seller in Ghana.  And makeup artist too Mine is different please help me with them way- my mom is a cosmetics seller in Ghana.

      And makeup artist too I asked if I could buy wholesale from la girl and they asked me to provide sellers permit. I want to buy from many manufacturers directly, from la girl, beauty 21, and other manufacturers and ship To my mom, I can't sell over here So sellers permit is the appropriate one for me..

Here are the key requirements for starting a home-based cosmetics and skin care business:

You can choose to be a(n) Cosmetics :

Sole Proprietor,
LLC,
Corporation or
Partnership.
After you decide and select your business entity, you need licensing.

✔ Biz License

Absecon Business Tax Registration ( Business License)
All businesses including home, online or mobile BUSINESS need a BUSINESS license because they are BUSINESSES.

✔ DBA Biz Name

A(n) Cosmetics business using a fictitious business name in Atlantic County i.e. you are a business with a trade name other than the owner's legal (full name) name are required to get a(n) fictitious business name. For instance you open a(n) Cosmetics business and you name it "Superior Cosmetics Group". You will need to file a fictitious business name for that name.

✔ Seller Permit

In addition note that in NJ you may also need a seller's permit if you sell merchandise that is taxable. (A.K.A state id, wholesale, resale, reseller certificate, about $39 for most states).
Seller's Permit

✔ Federal EIN

Note: All businesses need a federal tax ID number except sole proprietors that are not employers and are not independent contractors.
An independent contractor is a self employed business person that receives more than $600 per year from anyone of his or her clients.
IRS rule: The client must issue a 1099 form to the independent contractor and the independent contractor must have a federal tax ID. However, even sole owners may obtain a federal ID and use it as a business tax ID instead of using their own social security number as a business tax ID number.
However, all other licenses that apply to sole proprietors as discussed here are requited regardless of getting a federal tax ID number.

✔ State EIN

In addition you will need a federal and a state EIN if you will hire employees. I.e., a NJ Federal Tax Id Number ($29) and a(n) NJ State Employer Tax Number

✔ L L C

Instead of filing a fictitious business name DBA Filing (about $49 plus state and legal newspaper publication fees) in Absecon, Incorporate in NJ or form a(n) NJ LLC .

You have a choice to file a DBA or form an LLC or incorporate. There is a cicrcumstance that you may not need to register a trade name and that is when you use your full name as a business name if you use your full legal name as a trade name.
Also note that even using your first and last name may not help you avoid filing a DBA if the name has a suffix such as "& sons" etc.

✔ Incorporation

If you do form an Internet Selling llc or incorporate (about $49 plus state fees for most states) your Cosmetics business instead of just filing a fictitious business name (dba), it will help you avoid personal liability from wrongs arising from your business dealings and you will not have to file the Absecon business name. Instead of just registering your Atlantic County assumed business name (our fee includes assumed business name registration and legal newspaper publication) you can choose to setup a corporation in NJ or form an NJ LLC (starts @ $49 plus state fee for most states & includes required documents such as bylaws for the corporation and Limited Liability operating agreement for the LLC). .
