Jean asked: “I will buy and sell hair at a building.”
Hi Jean, a shop that buys and sells hair is a retail business, so you will need the sales tax Certificate of Registration. Suppliers will want your Annual Resale Certificate and registration number before selling tax-free, and that only covers stock you resell. Florida has no state income tax on wages, so hiring later means only reemployment tax registration. Since it's a storefront, the city or county will have its own license.
Short answer: Business License In Miami: for a hair retail shop in Miami, Florida, the core set is the sales tax Certificate of Registration, a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus a business structure and name registration.
Florida calls its seller's permit the sales tax Certificate of Registration. To buy for resale without paying sales tax, you give the supplier an Annual Resale Certificate (Form DR-13). Florida's resale exemption works only for active registered dealers, and inactive wholesalers must reactivate registration to receive an Annual Resale Certificate. Florida mails registered dealers a new Annual Resale Certificate each year; sellers can also verify a buyer's certificate number with the state.
