I have a business in Florida and would like to sell soap on Etsy. My question is: Can I use my business name for payment processing, but use a different shop name that is more in keeping with my products?
Answer: Yes, you can use your own name, but it is not recommended. If you sell soap, you do need the seller's permit.

Whether a soap online, home, store, concession stand or a mobile owner/proprietor, partnership, LCS or corporation/proprietor, partnership, LLC or corporation, all of which also require a General Business License (not a specific license for your type of business) as well. If your trade name is a business name other than your full personal legal name, you will need to file a DBA.

GPT Ready to make a splash in the soap making business? Creating bubbles of joy can be as refreshing for the soul as it is for the skin. Before you start, let's cleanse any confusion about the licenses and permits needed to legally operate your sudsy empire. The requirements might vary depending on your location and how you plan to sell your soaps, . Now, let's lather up the essentials:

Essential Licenses and Permits for a Soap Making Business Business License: The foundational permit for operating legally. Seller's Permit: Required in many states for selling goods and collecting sales tax. Home Occupation Permit: If you're crafting soaps from your home, this permit ensures your business complies with local zoning laws. Health Department Permit: Might be necessary if you are selling soaps as cosmetics or making claims about their health benefits. Special Permits and Considerations for Soap Making Environmental Permits: Depending on your production scale and ingredients, you may need permits related to waste disposal and use of certain chemicals. Cosmetic Manufacturing License: If your soaps are marketed with claims affecting the body's structure or function, they might be regulated as cosmetics, requiring additional oversight.
For instance, if your name is John Doe and you do business as Best Soaps By John, the name must be registered with a DBA Biz Name because it is not your full legal name. Also, note that whatever item that you sell or lease, and it is an item that can be touched (i.e., tangible items such as equipment, toys, merchandise, electronics, prepared food) requires a state sales tax ID (Seller's Permit) to either buy or sell the items or soap products wholesale and/or sell them in retail.

If you are hiring workers anytime soon, you will need a Federal EIN and a State EIN (employer identification number). Other instances where you will 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 the sole proprietor and use it as a business tax ID in place of a social security number.
