Wanda · Sugared Roses Crafty Cottage · Porterville, CA
Wanda asked: “I will buy wholesale.”
Hi Wanda, buying wholesale starts with California's seller's permit. Wholesale suppliers will then ask for your resale certificate (Form CDTFA-230) with your permit number before they sell tax-free, and that applies to goods you resell, not supplies. Crafty Cottage as a trade name needs a DBA unless you form an LLC with that exact name.
Short answer: Business License Application Porterville CA: a clothing resale business in Porterville typically needs the seller's permit, a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, with an LLC and a DBA if you use a trade name.
California calls its seller's permit the seller's permit. When you buy inventory to resell, the paperwork is a resale certificate (Form CDTFA-230). California requires a seller's permit for sales of tangible goods, and the permit covers selling at wholesale or retail. A California resale certificate normally shows the buyer's seller's permit number; sellers accept it in good faith to skip tax.
