Teonia · Ravenswood, WV
Teonia asked: “Small child care program, 12 children maximum, located in the Ravenswood business district.”
Hi Teonia, child care is licensed and inspected before you can open, and that approval is the main hurdle for a program of your size. Meanwhile an LLC protects your personal assets, and an EIN lets you open a business account and hire staff. Care fees are generally a service, so the Business Registration Certificate (sales tax) is mostly irrelevant.
Short answer: Business West Virginia: a small child care program in Ravenswood typically needs a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, with an LLC and a DBA if you use a trade name.
The West Virginia version of the seller's permit is the Business Registration Certificate (sales tax). When you buy inventory to resell, the paperwork is a Form F0003 Exemption Certificate. 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. West Virginia is a Streamlined Sales Tax member state, so the uniform Streamlined certificate is also accepted. Supplies you use up in a service are usually taxed when you buy them, since they aren't resold.
