Hi Ronald, selling clothes, even from home, is taxable retail, so you need Nevada's seller's permit. It's also what a wholesaler checks when you ask to buy tax-free, together with the Nevada resale certificate, which requires holding that permit. Wholesale buying only works for goods you'll resell, not supplies you use up. The Family Business should be registered as a DBA unless it's your LLC's exact name. Nevada employer registration is for unemployment insurance only.
Short answer: Obtain A Wholesales License In Nevada: Nevada doesn't issue a document called a "wholesale license." The registration suppliers ask for is the seller's permit, backed by a Nevada resale certificate (buyer must hold a seller's permit).
Nevada calls its seller's permit the seller's permit. To buy for resale without paying sales tax, you give the supplier 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.

Short answer: For a direct sales business in Minnetonka, Minnesota, the essentials are the Sales and Use Tax Permit, a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus an LLC or other structure.
The Minnesota version of the seller's permit is the Sales and Use Tax Permit. When you buy inventory to resell, the paperwork is a Form ST3 Certificate of Exemption. Suppliers generally accept a resale certificate only from a buyer registered for sales tax, so even a business that mostly buys and sells wholesale usually registers. Minnesota is a Streamlined Sales Tax member state; its ST3 form covers resale purchases. On the selling side, stores that carry products bought for direct sale give over their own resale certificates, so wholesale orders are written up without sales tax added.
Tip: Check whether your sales company handles sales tax for you; being an independent seller does not make the rules disappear.
