Hi Osvaldo, selling supplies wholesale in Florida starts with the sales tax Certificate of Registration, since your buyers will want to see it. Your own suppliers will ask for it with the Annual Resale Certificate (Form DR-13) before selling to you tax-free. Tax-free buying is only for goods you resell, so tell us what supplies you carry and we can match the rest of the setup.

Manufacturers will usually ask for it along with the Form E-595E Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Exemption before selling inventory tax-free. Collect the same certificate from retail stores that buy from you. With six employees, you also need state employer registration, and Furniture Wholesale Trade may need a DBA.
