Hi Manuel, chemicals bring industry rules on top of ordinary registration. Louisiana's s..., Manuel.

Chemicals

You can choose to be a(n) Chemicals :

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

✔ Biz License

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

✔ DBA Biz Name

A(n) Chemicals business using a DBA Doing Business As Trade Name in Lafayette Consolidated Government , i.e., starting businesses using a company name other than the legal (given name) owner's name, need a(n) DBA Doing Business As Trade Name Registration. For example, you start a(n) Chemicals business and you call it "Ultra Chemicals Co". You will need to file a trade firm name for it.

✔ Seller Permit

Also, keep in mind that in LA Chemicals though, a business license and a DBA is necessary for most businesses but if your business sells any taxable items, you will need a sales tax ID number. (A.K.A state id, wholesale, resale, reseller certificate, about $39 for most states). You will need it if you sell or want to buy wholesale any Chemicals related items, such as food, materials, or merchandise.
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

If you are thinking of hiring help, you will need a state employer ID and an IRS number employer ID. I.e., a LA Federal Tax Id Number ($29) and a(n) LA 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 Lafayette, Incorporate in LA or form a(n) LA 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 Manufacturing llc or incorporate (about $49 plus state fees for most states) your Chemicals 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 Lafayette business name. Instead of filing a Lafayette Consolidated Government fictitious business name (our service fee includes dba business name filing and legal paper publication) you can elect to incorporate in LA or form an LA LLC (starts @ $49 plus state fee for most states & includes bylaws and LLC operating agreement)..

What do I need to start a chemicals business in Lafayette, LA?

Hi Manuel, chemicals bring industry rules on top of ordinary registration. Louisiana's sales tax certificate of registration is the base, and the Louisiana Resale Certificate (Form R-1042) works for chemicals you buy to resell. Handling, storing and shipping hazardous materials may require extra permits, so confirm what applies to your product line before opening. An LLC for Manuel Chemicals would help limit risk.

Short answer: In Lafayette, Louisiana, businesses are required to obtain licensing before they start operating. For a chemicals business, that means the sales tax certificate of registration, a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus a structure and name registration.

Buying and selling wholesale in Louisiana

In Louisiana, the seller's permit goes by the name sales tax certificate of registration. To buy for resale without paying sales tax, you give the supplier a Louisiana Resale Certificate (Form R-1042). Suppliers generally accept a resale certificate only from a buyer registered for sales tax, so even a business that mostly buys and sells wholesale usually registers. Louisiana issues resale certificates to registered dealers itself, while parish sales taxes are administered locally and may need separate registration.

What a chemicals business needs in Lafayette, LA

LLC – limits personal liability, and an LLC under its exact name needs no extra DBA
Trade Name (DBA) – lets the bank accept checks made out to your business name
Federal tax ID number (EIN) – required for an LLC with partners or any business with employees
Sales tax certificate of registration – required before the first taxable sale, including online, flea market and craft fair sales
Louisiana Resale Certificate (Form R-1042) – covers goods you resell, not supplies you use up
State employer ID – for state income tax withholding and unemployment insurance
Lafayette business license – the city or county tracks who does business there and checks safety rules
Hazardous materials permit

How other states name the wholesale permit

Arizona: the Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT) license. Arizona's TPT is a tax on the seller's privilege of doing business, not a tax on the buyer.
New Mexico: the Gross Receipts Tax registration (CRS ID). New Mexico uses NTTCs instead of resale certificates, sorted by type, and buyers obtain them online after registering.
Florida: the sales tax Certificate of Registration. Florida mails registered dealers a new Annual Resale Certificate each year; sellers can also verify a buyer's certificate number with the state.

Industry code: NAICS 424690 (Other Chemical and Allied Products Merchant Wholesalers)
