Kevin · KRE8VV Clothing Co. · Las Vegas, NV
Kevin told us: “I want to open up my own clothing brand. Will I need to trademark it? I will be selling clothing to customers directly and through social media to reach all 50 states and international.”
Hi Kevin, a trademark protects the brand name and is optional but wise before you scale; it is separate from registering your business. Nevada has no state income tax on wages, so if you hire, the state employer registration is for unemployment insurance only. Sales need the seller's permit, and your Nevada resale certificate (buyer must hold a seller's permit) lets you buy blanks tax-free. Selling nationally can create tax duties in other states.
Short answer: Get Business License In Nevada: start with the structure (an LLC for most owners), then the seller's permit, a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license.
The Nevada version of the seller's permit is the seller's permit. When you buy inventory to resell, the paperwork is a Nevada resale certificate (buyer must hold a seller's permit). Nevada requires businesses selling tangible goods in the state to register, and a seller's permit is a prerequisite for issuing resale certificates. Nevada also has a Commerce Tax on businesses with large Nevada gross revenue, which can reach wholesalers.

HUNGER Clothing Brand · Portland, OR
The owner told us: “I am a fashion designer. I make clothing out of new and recycled fabrics. I sell online on our website and through Instagram.”
Selling designed clothing through a website and Instagram is retail, but Oregon has no statewide sales tax, so there's no state seller's permit for HUNGER Clothing Brand. Fabric suppliers outside the state may ask for documentation such as a multistate certificate. With two employees, you need an EIN and state employer registration. Customers in states with sales tax may create obligations there once your sales cross their thresholds.
Short answer: Starting Business Online: start with the structure (an LLC for most owners), then a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license.
No statewide sales tax, so the state issues no seller's permit and wholesale-only businesses need no sales tax registration. No statewide sales tax, so no seller's permit; out-of-state suppliers may still ask for documentation such as a multistate exemption certificate.

Here are the benefits of filing a Corporation or LLC A corporation or LLC protect you from personal civil and financial liability but it's also the best way to reduce your tax liability. Without a Corporation, Your Home Can be Taken Away! If you file a dba as a sole owner, instead of incorporating your business, and someone sues your business, your house, car and other personal assets can be seized to satisfy a court judgment against you. If you incorporate, only the assets that the corporation can be seized. If the corporation has only $1,000 in a bank account, that is all they can take. In general, if you incorporate your business, you will have many fringe benefits: you can fully deduct health insurance premiums, new equipment, travel, and many other expenses. In addition, if you or your corporation has excessive income, you can split it between yourself and your corporation and save thousands in taxes.
