REQUIRED PERMITS  Snacks Legal and Tax Business Structure Whether your business is an online, home, store, concession stand or a mobile cart, you will have to first select from these business, tax entities: Namely, from sole owner/proprietor, partnership, LLC or corporation.

  It does not matter which one you choose when it comes to a General Business License because all entities need that one. (Note that that is not a specific license to your type of business it is a BUSINESS license) as well. Using a company name subjects you to having to file a DBA .

  For instance, your name is Marilyn Boe, and you do Snacks business as Best Items By Marilyn, the name must be registered with a DBA Doing Business As certificate because it is not your full legal name (namely, Marilyn Boe). Also, note that whatever item that you sell or lease and it is an item that can be touched (i.e., tangible such as Snack equipment, jewelry, Snacks merchandise, electronics, prepared food) requires a sales ID ( Sellers Permit ) to either buy or sell the items or products wholesale from companies that sell Snacks in bulk and or sell them retail directly to consumers.

Getting people to work for you within 30 days of starting your business subjects you having to get a Federal EIN and a State EIN (employer identification number). On the other hand, you will also need a federal tax ID are: if you are a partnership, an independent contractor, and a corporation or an LLC . You can also obtain a federal tax ID as a sole proprietor and use it as a business tax ID in the place of a social security number.

However, you will still need other filings, such as Snacks permits, a fictitious business name DBA, and tax IDs as described above. Finally, even sole proprietor working from home or just online can set up a LLC or incorporate, in which case, they will not need to register the trade name with a dba because the LLC or Corporation name will be the legal name of the business.I sell snacks drinks and food.

✔ 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

If you are thinking of hiring help, you will need a state employer ID and an IRS number employer ID. I.e., a SC Federal Tax Id Number ($29) and a(n) SC 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 Union, Incorporate in SC or form a(n) SC LLC .

If you will set up a corporation or form an LLC, you will not have to file a DBA (Doing Business As) unless your corproration or LLC name will be different that the busienss name you will trade under. Businesses that use the full legal name of the owner as a business name do not need to register an assumed business name. So, for example, your name is "John X Doe" and you use that as a business name.

✔ Incorporation

If you do form an Home Business llc or incorporate (about $49 plus state fees for most states) your Snacks business instead of just filing a fictitious business name (dba), it will help you avoid legal and financial personal liability arising out of business transactions and you will not have to register the Union business name. Instead of filing a Union County fictitious business name (our service fee includes dba business name filing and legal paper publication) you can elect to incorporate in SC or form an SC LLC (starts @ $49 plus state fee for most states & includes bylaws and LLC operating agreement)..
