Commercial

You can choose to be a(n) Commercial :

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

✔ Biz License

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

✔ DBA Biz Name

A(n) Commercial business using a DBA Doing Business As Trade Name in Oldham County , 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) Commercial business and you call it "Ultra Commercial Co". You will need to file a trade firm name for it.

✔ Seller Permit

Also, keep in mind that in KY Commercial 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 Commercial 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 KY Federal Tax Id Number ($29) and a(n) KY 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 Crestwood, Incorporate in KY or form a(n) KY 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 Construction llc or incorporate (about $49 plus state fees for most states) your Commercial 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 Crestwood business name. Instead of filing a Oldham County fictitious business name (our service fee includes dba business name filing and legal paper publication) you can elect to incorporate in KY or form an KY LLC (starts @ $49 plus state fee for most states & includes bylaws and LLC operating agreement)..

Short answer: For a commercial construction contractor in Crestwood, Kentucky, the essentials are a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus an LLC or other structure.

Buying and selling wholesale in Kentucky

In Kentucky, the seller's permit goes by the name Sales and Use Tax Permit. To buy for resale without paying sales tax, you give the supplier a Resale Certificate (Form 51A105). 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. Kentucky is a Streamlined Sales Tax member state, so buyers may also use the uniform Streamlined certificate. Wholesale buying is limited here, because supplies used up while doing commercial construction jobs are normally taxable when purchased, since they are consumed rather than resold.

What a commercial construction contractor needs in Crestwood, KY

LLC – protects personal assets if a customer or supplier dispute turns into a lawsuit
Assumed Name (DBA) – registers the trade name on your sign, website and invoices
Federal tax ID number (EIN) – wholesale suppliers and banks ask for it on credit and account applications
Sales and Use Tax Permit – only if you also sell taxable goods; many services aren't taxed, but some states tax certain services
Crestwood business license – the city or county tracks who does business there and checks safety rules
Contractor license

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.
Illinois: the Certificate of Registration (sales tax), with an Illinois resale number. Illinois' sales tax is legally the Retailers' Occupation Tax, a tax on the seller; resellers get a resale number to buy tax-free.
Delaware: No statewide sales tax; instead Delaware imposes a gross receipts tax on sellers, with wholesalers classified separately from retailers.

Tip: Insure the project properly before breaking ground; a bid that skips insurance is merely an expensive idea.

Industry code: NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction)
