You can choose to be a(n) Soap :
- Sole Proprietor,
- LLC,
- Corporation or
- Partnership.
After you decide and select your business entity, you need licensing.
Leeds Business Tax Registration (
SoapBusiness License)
All businesses including home, online or mobile BUSINESS need a BUSINESS license because they are BUSINESSES.
|
A(n) Soap business using a DBA Doing Business As Trade Name in
Jefferson 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)
Soap
business and you call it "Ultra
Soap
Co". You will need to file a trade firm name for it.
|
Also, keep in mind that in
AL
Soap
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 Soap related items, such as food, materials, or merchandise.
Seller's Permit
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.
If you are thinking of hiring help, you will need a state employer ID and an IRS number employer ID.
I.e., a AL Federal Tax Id Number ($29)
and a(n) AL State Employer Tax Number
Instead of filing a fictitious business name DBA Filing (about $49 plus state and legal newspaper publication fees) in
Leeds, Incorporate in AL or
form a(n) AL 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.
If you do form an Wholesale Trade llc or incorporate (about $49 plus state fees for most states) your Soap 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 Leeds business name.
Instead of filing a Jefferson County fictitious business name (our service fee includes dba business name filing and legal paper publication) you can elect to incorporate in
AL or form an AL LLC (starts @ $49 plus state fee for most states & includes bylaws and LLC operating agreement)..

I;m not doing the actual selling He would not be my emplyee; He is a store owner I am starting a mobile car wash and will be buying water and soap and other chemicals, my question is do I need a sellers permit? Is that that what would allow me to buy tax exempt or is a part of the tax ID?
I want to sell my homemade soaps as a vendor at fairs and local events. Not sure what kind of license I need. I live in Laramie Wyoming.
