Pallets towering in a cool warehouse, a pallet jack squeaking along concrete and invoices piled beside the dock door.
Short answer: VA Wholesale Dealer License: Virginia doesn't issue a document called a "wholesale license." The registration suppliers ask for is the Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Registration, backed by a Form ST-10 Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Exemption.
In Virginia, the seller's permit goes by the name Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Registration. Suppliers selling to you tax-free will ask for a Form ST-10 Sales and Use Tax 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. In-state buyers using Form ST-10 generally need a Virginia registration; out-of-state buyers can cite their home-state number. Out-of-state buyers do not need a Virginia registration to give a valid Virginia resale certificate. Distributors buy in bulk from makers and sell to retailers, who supply resale certificates that document the sale as non-retail and keep it from sales tax.
Tip: Collect a resale certificate from every new buyer before shipping; a missing form can leave the tax bill on your desk.

Frank · Furniture Wholesale Trade · Aberdeen, NC
Hi Frank, a furniture wholesaler in North Carolina needs the Certificate of Registration (sales and use tax) first. 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.
Short answer: In Aberdeen, North Carolina, businesses are required to obtain licensing before they start operating. For a furniture wholesale business, that means the Certificate of Registration (sales and use tax), a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus a structure and name registration.
