What does a Clothing Business Need to Legally Start?
A Clothing store Accessories such as shorts, pants, pullovers, necklaces, rings, tshirs, handbags, purses, apparel, dresses, womens belts, etc. business needs a sellers permit because these items are subject to sales tax.
In fact, all products, such as necklaces, rings, tshirs, food, equipment that anyone can touch is taxable even if you sell out of your home online or even if it is just a dropshipping business. In addition, a business must decide on the business type of organization as a sole proprietor, LLC , partnership or corporation.

You will need an LLC certificate filed with the state as well as an LLC operating agreement and a federal tax id number at a minimum.

The Clothing Market Outlook
Clothing businesses generate $6-8bn with about an annual growth of 18.0%.
There are about 20,000 Businesses and this resulted as more internet users have access, more money to spent and more confidence in online shoppoing.
Also, the more affordable it is to connect to the internet, the more accessible online clothing and jewelry buying is.
It looks like Clothing sales will grow more in the coming years, although an increasingly saturated market will result in relatively slower growth.
If you are starting a clothing and jewelry sales business online from home, there are about 50 million Home Based Businesses.
The low cost of start up makes it easy for the 37% of that industry to be Home Based Business who are started for under $5,000.

Online, selling nationwide adult clothing with adult logos and pictures on them. I would like to sell them in Spencer's stores and more adult stores.

Hi Shakai, to sell the adult clothing and logos in stores, you will need to set up an LLC and also get the seller's permit as discussed below because you will need it to buy the items wholesale and sell them retail. LLC Refers to the Legal Company Structure
The Adult Clothing Store legal structure is selected during business registration. If you choose to be an LLC, you do not need to file a Doing Business As (DBA) Certificate. About 60% of new businesses select an LLC when choosing a corporate structure.

For example, if you are the sole owner, you can file a DBA and so select the sole proprietorship structure or select the LLC structure to be a corporate entity because LLCs afford corporate protections such as business and personal liability protections.

Thus, when starting a business whether an online, home, store, concession stand or a mobile cart, you will need to first select among sole owner/proprietor, partnership, LLC or corporation, all of which also require a General Business License (not a specific license for your type of business, necessarily but a requirement for LLC companies as well as necessary) for any business as well.

If you decide to be an Adult Clothing Store sole proprietorship instead of an LLC, and the trade name is a business name other than your full personal legal name, you will need to file a Doing Business As (DBA) Certificate.

For instance, your name is John Doe, and you do business as Best Items By Shakai , the name must be registered with a DBA Biz Name document called a DBA certificate because Best Items By Slurping On Dat, is not your full legal name. Also, note that whatever item that you sell or lease, and it is an item that can be touched (i.e., tangible items such as Adult Clothing Store equipment, toys, merchandise, electronics, prepared food) requires a state sales tax ID (Seller's permit) to either buy or sell the items or products wholesale and or sell them.

If you or your LLC are hiring Adult Clothing Store workers within the next 30 days, you will need a Federal EIN and a State EIN (employer identification number). Even if you treat the LLC as a disregarded entity, you can use your social security to conduct business, it is not recommended.

Other instances that you will need a federal tax ID: if you are a partnership, an independent contractor, and a corporation or an LLC treated as a corporation. You can also obtain a federal tax ID as the sole proprietor and use it as a business tax ID in place of a social security number.

However, all Adult Clothing Store businesses need at least 2-5 business registrations, so you will still need other registrations, such as licenses, an assumed business name DBA, and tax IDs as described above.

Finally, even one person, sole owner/proprietors working from home or just online, can form an Adult Clothing Store LLC or incorporate, in which case, they will not need to file a DBA, and they will be members of the LLC.

Note: All businesses need a federal tax ID number except sole proprietors that are not employers and are not independent contractors.
An independent contractor is a self employed business person that receives more than $600 per year from anyone of his or her clients.
IRS rule: The client must issue a 1099 form to the independent contractor and the independent contractor must have a federal tax ID. However, even sole owners may obtain a federal ID and use it as a business tax ID instead of using their own social security number as a business tax ID number.
However, all other licenses that apply to sole proprietors as discussed here are requited regardless of getting a federal tax ID number.

✔ L L C

Instead of filing a fictitious business name DBA Filing (about $49 plus state and legal newspaper publication fees) in Charlotte, Incorporate in NC or form a(n) NC LLC .

You have a choice to file a DBA or form an LLC or incorporate. There is a cicrcumstance that you may not need to register a trade name and that is when you use your full name as a business name if you use your full legal name as a trade name.
Also note that even using your first and last name may not help you avoid filing a DBA if the name has a suffix such as "& sons" etc.

✔ Incorporation

If you do form an llc or incorporate (about $49 plus state fees for most states) your business instead of just filing a fictitious business name (dba), that insurs that you don't have personal liability for debts and civile liabililty arising from your business dealings and you will not have to record the Charlotte business name. Instead of just registering your City of Charlotte & Mecklenburg County assumed business name (our fee includes assumed business name registration and legal newspaper publication) you can choose to setup a corporation in NC or form an NC LLC (starts @ $49 plus state fee for most states & includes required documents such as bylaws for the corporation and Limited Liability operating agreement for the LLC). .
