Wes asked: “Retail and wholesale mobile homes”
Hi Wes, selling mobile homes at retail or wholesale usually takes a state dealer license, often with a bond, on top of Ohio's Vendor's License for taxable sales. Form STEC B Sales and Use Tax Blanket Exemption Certificate comes in for units bought to resell. Since you are selling both ways, tell us which side you are starting with.
Short answer: Manufactured Retail License: the key filing in Ohio is the Vendor's License. Suppliers will ask for its number and a Form STEC B Sales and Use Tax Blanket Exemption Certificate before they sell to you tax-free.
Ohio calls its seller's permit the Vendor's License. To buy for resale without paying sales tax, you give the supplier a Form STEC B Sales and Use Tax Blanket Exemption Certificate. A vendor's license is required for retail sales; a business making only sales for resale may not need one. Ohio requires a vendor's license to make retail sales, and a resale exemption can be denied to an unlicensed buyer.

Ellen · Henderson, NV
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.
