Sunder · Vancouver, WA
Sunder asked: “Brewery supplies.”
Hi Sunder, malt and brewery supplies sold to brewers are often resales, so Washington's business license with a reseller permit and the reseller permit are central. With twenty-one employees, the state employer registration there is for unemployment insurance, since Washington has no state income tax on wages. A malting operation also needs food-safety approvals and liability insurance. An LLC, an EIN and a Vancouver business license come first.
Short answer: For a malting and brewery supply business in Vancouver, Washington, the essentials are the business license with a reseller permit, a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus an LLC or other structure.
Washington calls its seller's permit the business license with a reseller permit. When you buy inventory to resell, the paperwork is a reseller permit. Wholesalers need a Washington business license, and wholesale sales are subject to the B&O tax even though no sales tax is collected. Washington's B&O tax has a wholesaling classification, and sellers must keep a reseller permit or other documentation for every wholesale customer.

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.
