Hello,

I am interested in starting my own home based internet business selling phone accessories on a professionally designed website.

However, I am curious if I would need to register my business and get myself a sales licence/resellers permit.

Can someone enlighten me?

Thanks in advance! (:

Yes, you will have some ‘hoops’ to jump through to be recognized as a business operating legally and of course the government has to keep track of your income, which they do by assigning you a EIN number.

Assuming you are in the U.S., here is a link to a page at the Small Business Administration that contains, by state, links to advise you of the licensing requirements according to your location.

Hope that helps.
