Kicole told us: “What type of license do I need to buy meats and ...”
Hi Kicole, buying meats to cook and sell is different from buying them to resell, so ask your supplier how they treat prepared food. In Georgia, you need the sales and use tax number (Certificate of Registration) and food service approval before opening. The Form ST-5 exemption only fits ingredients that become the product. New Orleans Cultural Foods may need a DBA.
Short answer: In Lawrenceville, Georgia, businesses are required to obtain licensing before they start operating. For a New Orleans-style po-boy business, that means the sales and use tax number (Certificate of Registration), a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus a structure and name registration.
The Georgia version of the seller's permit is the sales and use tax number (Certificate of Registration). When you buy inventory to resell, the paperwork is a Form ST-5 Sales 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. Buyers using Form ST-5 generally need a Georgia sales tax number when registration applies to them. Georgia's ST-5 certificate covers resale and many other exemptions; the buyer marks the reason and lists its registration number.

South Carolina calls its seller's permit the Retail License. To buy for resale without paying sales tax, you give the supplier 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.
