You can choose to be a(n) :

After you decide and select your business entity, you need licensing.
Phoenix Business Tax Registration (
Business License)
All businesses including home, online or mobile BUSINESS need a BUSINESS license because they are BUSINESSES.
|
A(n) business using a fictitious business name in
Maricopa County
i.e. you are a business that uses a DBA doing business as trade name to trade that is other than the full legal (first and last -- full name) name of a sole proprietor or a name other than the LLC or Corporation business name need a(n)
fictitious business name.
For instance you open a(n)
business and you name it "Superior
Group". You will need to file a fictitious business name for that name.
|
In
Scottsdale
you need a resale ID ( AKA seller's permit) if you selling touchable items.
(A.K.A state id, wholesale, resale,
reseller certificate, about $39 for most states).
Seller's Permit
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.
In addition you will need a federal and a state EIN if you will hire employees.
I.e., a Scottsdale Federal Tax Id Number ($29) and a(n) Scottsdale State Employer Tax Number
Instead of filing a fictitious business name DBA Filing (about $49 plus state and legal newspaper publication fees) in
Phoenix, Incorporate in Scottsdale or form a(n) Scottsdale LLC .
Filing a DBA is not required if you will set up an LLC or form a Corporation.
If you will do business under your first and last legal name you will not need to get a fictitious business 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.
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 Phoenix business name.
In lieu of recording a Maricopa County trade company name (our filing service fee includes trade name registration and newspaper legal publication for 4 weeks) you can also form a corporation in
Scottsdale or form an Scottsdale LLC (starts @ $49 plus state fee for most states & includes bylaws for the corporation and Limited Liability operating agreement for the LLC that is required to open a business bank account). .
