Retal and Wholesale
Q: Incorporate llc for collectibles and gifts. I am a retailer and have a store and a /website. I buy figurines, toy's, novelties, wholesale and sell to the general public at retail in Ohio / and to all 50 states by website sales from store/ shop/ home.
A: First, you need to file a dba trade name for "TNB Collectibles & Gifts," but because you will form an llc or incorporate, you don't need to file a trade name. Also, to buy figurines, toy's, novelties, wholesale and sell to the general public at retail, you need a seller's permit.
Whether you start a Retail or wholesale business, you will need at least a wholesale license which can be used both to sell retail or wholesale. The difference is that you have to collect sales tax if you sell retail. Selecting the right Retal and Wholesale tax structure can be a difficult project when starting your own small new business. Most small business advisors will tell you that a C Corporation results in higher tax payments because of double taxation. The LLC (limited liability company) and S Corporation are the latest structures if you want to avoid double taxation because with an LLC, you are taxed like a sole proprietor or partnership.
