Short answer: Wholesale License 89115: Nevada doesn't issue a document called a "wholesale license." The registration suppliers ask for is the seller's permit, backed by a Nevada resale certificate (buyer must hold a seller's permit).
The Nevada version of the seller's permit is the seller's permit. To buy for resale without paying sales tax, you give the supplier 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. Inventory from clothing wholesalers is bought without sales tax when you supply a resale certificate, because every piece will be resold to a shopper.
Tip: Write size charts in inches, not adjectives; a returned medium that fits like a small is a lesson most stores learn once.

Hi Dominique, in South Carolina the Retail License is what lets you collect sales tax, and it opens the door to the Form ST-8A Resale Certificate that wholesale suppliers will ask for. Selling to all states is a bigger question: once you pass another state's sales threshold, you may need to register there too. Empresz Stylez needs a DBA only if you trade under it without an LLC of that name.
Short answer: Start Clothing Business: an online clothing and accessories store in Greenville typically needs the Retail License, a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, with an LLC and a DBA if you use a trade name.
The South Carolina version of the seller's permit is the Retail License. When you buy inventory to resell, the paperwork is 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.
