Leesville, LA
Clippers buzzing, the warm scent of shaving cream, the snap of a cape and a spinning pole outside the window.
Short answer: For a barber shop in Leesville, Louisiana, the essentials are a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus an LLC or other structure.
In Louisiana, the seller's permit goes by the name sales tax certificate of registration. When you buy inventory to resell, the paperwork is a Louisiana Resale Certificate (Form R-1042). 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. Louisiana issues resale certificates to registered dealers itself, while parish sales taxes are administered locally and may need separate registration. Haircuts are a service, so there is nothing to buy wholesale, though any retail pomade or razors you stock can be bought with a resale certificate.
Tip: Book regulars in a fixed slot; the guy who shows up every other Friday at three is your best marketing.
