Setting up your trade business



  First, check out the Business Tax Structure. To set up and enlist your business, it does not matter whether your company is a web, domestic, store, concession stand or a mobile cart, you'll have to begin with to select a business structure: To be specific, from the sole owner/proprietor organization, LLC or corporation.



  It does not matter which trade structure you choose as  a Sellers Permit is a concern since all entities require a sellers permit which is why all businesses require, well, a trade permit. (Note that this is usually not a particular permit for your sort of trade, it may be a Commerce permit) as well.



  Using a company trade name subjects you to having to record a DBA. For this event, in case your title is Joe Baiden, and you're doing commerce as Best Things By Baiden, the Baiden title must be registered with a DBA Doing Business As Certificate.



  Also, note that anything  that can be touched (i.e., substantial items such as gear, adornments, stock, gadgets, arranged nourishment) requires a Sales Tax ID (Vendor  License) to either purchase or offer the items discounted from companies that offer them in bulk or offer them directly to buyers.



  The seller's allow is additionally called a wholesale ID, a state ID (there are 2 state IDs and the other one is called an employer ID but you most likely need a retail seller permit license from the state). If you hire individuals to work for your commerce at any time within 30 days of beginning your trade subjects, you've got to induce a Government EIN and a State EIN.



  Be that as it may, you may to want to get an EIN if  you are an independent contractor  organization or autonomous temporary worker, or an enterprise or an LLC. It is continuously a great idea to get an EIN as a sole proprietor and utilize it as a business ID in place of the social security number.



  However, you'll still require other filings for trade assessment enrollments such as licenses, invented trade names, DBA, and tax IDs as depicted above. For illustration, in case you need to be an LLC, you must get an LLC certificate and an LLC working understanding as well as an EIN.



  If you enlist laborers, you wish the EIN to be the LLC ID in expansion to being an Employer ID.



  Finally, indeed the sole proprietor working from domestic or fair online can set up an LLC or consolidate, in which case, they will not get to enroll the exchange title with a DBA since the LLC or Corporation title will be the legitimate title of the trade.



  DBA stands for Doing Business As, and it is additionally called a fictitious, expected, exchange firm or commerce certificate exchange title.

Virginia Seller's Permit Requirements for Tech Support


Do you need a Seller's Permit in Virginia for online tech support?
Generally, NO - Pure service-based tech support typically doesn't require a Seller's Permit since you're not selling tangible goods. However, you DO need one if you:
  • βœ… Sell software licenses or digital products

  • βœ… Provide hardware along with support services

  • βœ… Resell any tangible computer equipment

  • βœ… Bundle physical products with your services

  • For remote-only tech support services (troubleshooting, system optimization, virus removal), Virginia considers this a non-taxable service transaction.

    Online Business Registration Package for Your Corporation


    Since you already have a Corporation in Connecticut, you don't need a new DBA unless your online website will operate under a different name than your existing corporate name - your Corporation already has an EIN which you'll use for the website business, and you'll need to amend your existing business license to include online retail/marketing services as an additional business activity, then apply for your Seller's Permit using your existing Corporation's information and EIN to collect sales tax on taxable online transactions. If your online website name differs from your Corporation name (example: "ABC Corporation" wants to operate website as "SuperDeals.com"), then file a DBA for that trade name, but if the website operates under your corporate name, skip the DBA and just obtain the Seller's Permit for online sales - the entire process involves just 2-3 applications since your Corporation already provides the legal structure and EIN. βœ… Obtain all licenses and registrations here online through your state's business portal using your existing corporate credentials!

    LLC (Limited Liability Company) FAQs:


    Q: Is setting up an LLC a better choice than filing a DBA?

    A: Wanting to issue preferred or common shares requires a C corporation otherwise set up an LLC or file an S corp.. deRonnytch Gods Purpose ApperalCo. this name as well as any other name is an assumed business name and it must be recorded as a DBA Doing Business As name which also requires a fee to be recorded.

    A trade registration is requred but if the owner wants to use the business name exclusively he or she cannot because anyone else can also file the same trade name. Nor does the trade name registration protects the owner from personal legal or financial liability as forming a limited liability company (LLC) . Since registering an assumed business name does not protect anything and it requires a fee -- which is almost as high as setting up a limited liability company (LLC) fee -- it is better set up a limited liability company (LLC) for about the same fee and enjoy the protection of a corporate entity.

    So for example if an employee is injured on business premises the employee can sue you personally unless you are an limited liability company (LLC) in which case the employee can only sue the corporation.

    You can avoid being personally liable for liabilities arising out of business transactions if you set up an LLC or form a corporation. For example if a client slips and falls in your store you will not be subject to lawsuits if you have formed an LLC or set up a corporation. If you planning big such as becoming a publicly traded company you will need to set up a C corporation to offer stock shares in the stock market. An S corporation avoids all associated formalities and can only issue stock to a small number of shareholders and the stock cannot be bought publicly that is in the stock market. If you start alone and are a sole owner you will have to pay self employment taxes that are higher than normal employment taxes. If you want to avoid that an S corporation. Such business structure separates your salary with dividents and you will save on taxes because dividents are not subject to self employment taxes. Partnerships need both a federal EIN and a fictitious firm name registration .
    home businesses need both a home occupation license and a business license. Even online or home based businesses need to obtain all necessary licenses like any other business. Commercial location stores need a business license and some zoning clearances.             If there are chemicals or other materials or activities that present danger to the reasonable person requires inspections. If you are home based it is better not to store or say that you store merchandise in your home because they may not issue a business license. Merchandise samples or small quantities may be okey to keep at a home business location. Generally businesses signs are not allowed in a residential home location.         Most government do not allow more than 2 home based business employees.   Brick an mortar stucture in you home residences used as a store most likely will not be allowed.

    No, you don't.  However, if you sell computer parts or any merchandise with your support, you will need a seller's permit to buy wholesale and sell retail.

    Virginia Seller's Permit Requirements for Tech Support


    Do you need a Seller's Permit in Virginia for online tech support?
    Generally, NO - Pure service-based tech support typically doesn't require a Seller's Permit since you're not selling tangible goods. However, you DO need one if you:
  • βœ… Sell software licenses or digital products

  • βœ… Provide hardware along with support services

  • βœ… Resell any tangible computer equipment

  • βœ… Bundle physical products with your services

  • For remote-only tech support services (troubleshooting, system optimization, virus removal), Virginia considers this a non-taxable service transaction.

    Online Business Registration Package for Your Corporation


    Since you already have a Corporation in Connecticut, you don't need a new DBA unless your online website will operate under a different name than your existing corporate name - your Corporation already has an EIN which you'll use for the website business, and you'll need to amend your existing business license to include online retail/marketing services as an additional business activity, then apply for your Seller's Permit using your existing Corporation's information and EIN to collect sales tax on taxable online transactions. If your online website name differs from your Corporation name (example: "ABC Corporation" wants to operate website as "SuperDeals.com"), then file a DBA for that trade name, but if the website operates under your corporate name, skip the DBA and just obtain the Seller's Permit for online sales - the entire process involves just 2-3 applications since your Corporation already provides the legal structure and EIN. βœ… Obtain all licenses and registrations here online through your state's business portal using your existing corporate credentials!

Is it possible? and can I get a re seller permit if I'm not a  citizen of united states and live out of america on another continent:)...thank you
    9/26/2025 12:00 AM
    You need a social security number and or a federal tax id number or you can get it thru a USA company you own. For example, if you are a member of an LLC in Las Vegas, NV, you could get one.  In general, however, you don't need a seller's permit if you are buying from out of the USA.

    Seller's Permit Coverage for Multiple Cities


    Your state-issued Seller's Permit works across ALL cities within your state - you don't need a separate seller's permit for Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, or any other city within the same state. The seller's permit is issued at the state level and allows you to collect and remit sales tax throughout the entire state. However, while your seller's permit covers tax collection statewide, you may need additional local business licenses or vendor permits in each city where you have a physical presence or regularly conduct business - for example, if you're selling at a farmer's market in Fort Lauderdale, they might require a local vendor permit, or if you set up a distribution point in Pompano Beach, that city might require its own business license, but these are separate from your seller's permit which remains valid statewide.
