Hi Nikia, the answer depends on which side of wholesale you mean. To buy wholesale for resale in Virginia, you first get the Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Registration, then give suppliers the Form ST-10 Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Exemption so they sell to you tax-free. If you plan to sell wholesale to stores, collect their ST-10s and keep them on file in case of questions.
Short answer: For a wholesale products business in Norfolk, Virginia, the essentials are the Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Registration, a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus an LLC or other structure.
The Virginia version of the seller's permit is the 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.

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.
