Mark shared: “Small equipment repair”
Hi Mark, a repair business that sells parts is a retailer too, so South Carolina's Retail License comes into play. Suppliers will want that number and Form ST-8A Resale Certificate before selling parts tax-free for resale. Start with the business name and EIN, and check your town's local license rules.
Short answer: In Honea Path, South Carolina, businesses are required to obtain licensing before they start operating. For a small equipment repair shop, that means the Retail License, a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus a structure and name registration.
South Carolina calls its seller's permit the Retail License. Suppliers selling to you tax-free will ask for a Form ST-8A Resale Certificate. A retail license is required for retail sellers; a business making only wholesale sales may not need one. South Carolina also accepts the multistate uniform certificate in place of its ST-8A form if it contains the same information.

Ellen told us: “In the business of selling necklaces and jewelry.”
Hi Ellen, selling necklaces and jewelry in Henderson requires the Nevada seller's permit, since jewelry is taxable. Your wholesale suppliers will want your permit number and the Nevada resale certificate before selling to you tax-free, which applies to jewelry you resell but not display cases or packaging. A city or county business license is also common in Nevada. We can file the permit, an LLC and your federal tax ID number.
Short answer: For a jewelry business in Henderson, Nevada, the essentials are the seller's permit, a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus an LLC or other structure.
Nevada calls its seller's permit 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.
