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. However, you have decided to be a Limited liability Company ( LLC ) so we will stop at that. 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.

Any type of business organization, including sole owners, must obtain a state employer tax ID if hiring employees.
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.
