Hi Archie, door-to-door vacuum sales are taxable goods sales, so Georgia expects the sales and use tax number (Certificate of Registration), unless the manufacturer handles tax collection under its own setup, which is worth confirming. Many cities require a solicitor permit before knocking on doors. With ten employees you will need an EIN and state employer registration, and suppliers may ask for the Form ST-5 Sales Tax Certificate of Exemption.
Short answer: State Tax Id Number: in Georgia, what most people call a wholesale license is the sales and use tax number (Certificate of Registration). With it, and a Form ST-5 Sales Tax Certificate of Exemption for your suppliers, a door-to-door vacuum sales business can buy inventory for resale without paying sales tax up front.
In Georgia, the seller's permit goes by the name sales and use tax number (Certificate of Registration). Suppliers selling to you tax-free will ask for a Form ST-5 Sales Tax Certificate of Exemption. 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. Buyers using Form ST-5 generally need a Georgia sales tax number when registration applies to them. Georgia's ST-5 certificate covers resale and many other exemptions; the buyer marks the reason and lists its registration number.

Jamie's Wholesale · Shelby, NC
The owner told us: “Buy wholesale, sell at the flea market.”
Selling at a flea market is a taxable retail sale, so North Carolina expects the Certificate of Registration (sales and use tax). Wholesale suppliers will usually ask for it with the Form E-595E Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Exemption, which covers only items you resell. Jamie's Wholesale is a trade name, so a DBA applies, and the market may require vendor paperwork.
Short answer: Shelby North Carolina Buyers License: for a flea market resale business in Shelby, North Carolina, the core set is the Certificate of Registration (sales and use tax), a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus a business structure and name registration.
The North Carolina version of the seller's permit is the Certificate of Registration (sales and use tax). Suppliers selling to you tax-free will ask for a Form E-595E Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Exemption. A wholesale merchant must register; wholesale-only businesses with no taxable sales or purchases can choose a wholesale-only option and skip filing returns. North Carolina lets registered wholesale-only merchants opt out of filing sales and use tax returns.
