Massage Therapy

✔ Biz Structure

You can choose to be a(n) Massage Therapy :

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

✔ Biz License

West Salem Business Tax Registration ( Massage TherapyBusiness License)
All businesses including home, online or mobile BUSINESS need a BUSINESS license because they are BUSINESSES.

✔ DBA Biz Name

A(n) Massage Therapy business using a DBA Doing Business As Trade Name in La Crosse 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) Massage Therapy business and you call it "Ultra Massage Therapy Co". You will need to file a trade firm name for it.

✔ Seller Permit

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

Short answer: Obtain Wholesale Massage Oil: California doesn't issue a document called a "wholesale license." The registration suppliers ask for is the seller's permit, backed by a resale certificate (Form CDTFA-230).

Buying and selling wholesale in California

California calls its seller's permit the seller's permit. Suppliers selling to you tax-free will ask for a resale certificate (Form CDTFA-230). California requires a seller's permit for sales of tangible goods, and the permit covers selling at wholesale or retail. A California resale certificate normally shows the buyer's seller's permit number; sellers accept it in good faith to skip tax. Oils, lotions and linens used during treatments are normally taxable when bought, because they are consumed in the service, while products sold separately to clients can be bought for resale.

Your Richmond filing checklist

LLC – keeps your house and savings separate from the business's debts and contracts
Fictitious Business Name Statement (DBA) – needed when you trade under a name other than your legal name or the LLC's exact name
Federal tax ID number (EIN) – required for an LLC with partners or any business with employees
Seller's permit – only if you also sell taxable goods; many services aren't taxed, but some states tax certain services
State employer ID – for state income tax withholding and unemployment insurance once you hire
Richmond business license – the city or county tracks who does business there and checks safety rules
Massage therapist license

If you sell across state lines

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.
Hawaii: the General Excise Tax (GET) license. Hawaii taxes wholesale sales as well as retail ones, at a lower rate, because its GET falls on the seller's gross income.
Texas: the Sales and Use Tax Permit. In Texas a customer's permit number alone is not a substitute for a signed resale certificate.

Tip: Keep a written intake form and consent record for every client, since good boundaries and good records both protect your practice.

Industry code: NAICS 812199 (Other Personal Care Services)
