Sellers Permit for Food Grocery store
You should be excited and ready to work hard. Groceries are good business but require hard work.
You need to get all licenses and permits required to sell Food and other items in your Grocery store .
Thus, you first, select your business structure: Sole Proprietor, Partnership, LLC or Corporation because your sellers permit and other licenses are filed under the business entity.
This is definitely a good business to go into because there are about 37,053 grocery stores / supermarkets and each supermarket store sells about $384,911 weekly.
Then, a sellers permit is required to buy your Food materials wholesale and sell retail if you sell Food Grocery store merchandise wholesale or retail.
If you are an employer, i.e., if you hire anyone to help you with (For example, Supermarket / Grocery Stores used 3,400,000 employees, and sold $602,609,000,000 in food and merchandise. ) , you will need a federal employer Number and a State Employer Number.
Users of a trade name will need a fictitious business name filing.
For example, if you name your "Albert and Sons Food Grocery store ," you will need to officially register that business name.
The average person spends about $27.30 and goes to the store 2-3 times per week .
Finally, you have the option or incorporating or forming an LLC for your Food Grocery store business.

In
CA
you need a resale ID ( AKA seller's permit) if you selling touchable items.
(A.K.A state id, wholesale, resale,
reseller certificate, about $39 for most states).
Seller's Permit
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.
In addition you will need a federal and a state EIN if you will hire employees.
I.e., a CA Federal Tax Id Number ($29) and a(n) CA State Employer Tax Number
Instead of filing a fictitious business name DBA Filing (about $49 plus state and legal newspaper publication fees) in
Placentia, Incorporate in CA or form a(n) CA LLC .
You have a choice to file a DBA or form an LLC or incorporate.
If you will do business under your first and last legal name you will not need to get a fictitious business 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.
If you do form an Sole Proprietorship llc or incorporate (about $49 plus state fees for most states) your Grocery business instead of just filing a fictitious business name (dba),
that insurs that you don't have personal liability for debts and civile liabililty arising from your business dealings and you will not have to record the Placentia business name.
In lieu of recording a Orange County trade company name (our filing service fee includes trade name registration and newspaper legal publication for 4 weeks) you can also form a corporation in
CA or form an CA 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). .
