Hi Thomas, renting tables, chairs and tents is a rental business, and rentals of tangible items are often taxable, so the Retail License matters. Crocheted items you sell are retail goods. Yarn you use for products you resell can be bought tax-free with the Form ST-8A Resale Certificate. File Pepper Hill as a DBA unless you form an LLC under that name.
Short answer: In Andrews, South Carolina, businesses are required to obtain licensing before they start operating. For a party rental and crochet business, that means the Retail License, a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus a structure and name registration.
In South Carolina, the seller's permit goes by the name Retail License. Suppliers selling to you tax-free will ask for a Form ST-8A Resale Certificate. A retail license is required for retail sellers; a business making only wholesale sales may not need one. South Carolina also accepts the multistate uniform certificate in place of its ST-8A form if it contains the same information.

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.
