The owner wrote: “A clothing business. I will produce clothing by buying and reselling wholesale. I will be located in Loganville, Georgia, and sell in all 50 states.”
Buying wholesale to resell means Georgia's sales and use tax number, so suppliers can sell to you tax-free with the Form ST-5 Sales Tax Certificate of Exemption. Selling in all 50 states can create tax duties elsewhere once you pass their thresholds. If you actually produce clothing, fabric that becomes your product also qualifies. Especially needs a DBA unless it is the exact name of your LLC, and one employee means employer registration.
Short answer: Wholesale License 30052: the key filing in Georgia is the sales and use tax number (Certificate of Registration). Suppliers will ask for its number and a Form ST-5 Sales Tax Certificate of Exemption before they sell to you tax-free.
In Georgia, the seller's permit goes by the name sales and use tax number (Certificate of Registration). Suppliers selling to you tax-free will ask for 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.

No statewide sales tax, so the state issues no seller's permit and wholesale-only businesses need no sales tax registration. No statewide sales tax, so no seller's permit; out-of-state suppliers may still ask for documentation such as a multistate exemption certificate. Apparel bought from makers or wholesalers for resale is purchased with a resale certificate, and tax is added at the time of sale where required.
Tip: Keep return policies short and clear; the long version is the one nobody reads and everybody disputes.
