Q.:? What business licensing is generally required to run an online retail business? I want to run this business out of my home starting out and then eventually expand to a retail store
?
A.:? Generally, the business licensing required for an online retail business is not substantially different than a storefront business:
- You will want to form a business entity in your state.
- You will want to register with your state to collect and remit sales tax on any sales that you make in your state.
- If you will be holding substantial inventory, you will also want to check your lease or deed/zoning codes to see if there are any prohibitions on running a business like the one you?re contemplating out of your home.
Also make sure to invest in the appropriate business insurance covering your activities.? Get a local business attorney and accountant on your team right away to put the right building blocks in place.
