River Road Children's Center · Salinas, CA
The owner wrote: “Provide child care services for working families.”
Child care is licensed by the state before you accept families, with rules on staffing, space and safety. A California seller's permit is needed only if you sell goods like uniforms. If you hire staff, employer registration covers withholding and unemployment insurance. River Road Children's Center needs a DBA unless it is your LLC's exact name.
Short answer: For a child care center in Salinas, California, the essentials are a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus an LLC or other structure.
In California, the seller's permit goes by the name seller's permit. Suppliers selling to you tax-free will ask for a resale certificate (Form CDTFA-230). California requires a seller's permit for sales of tangible goods, and the permit covers selling at wholesale or retail. A California resale certificate normally shows the buyer's seller's permit number; sellers accept it in good faith to skip tax. Supplies you use up in a service are usually taxed when you buy them, since they aren't resold.
