Q: 94947 Ted Resale Other 51620 Resale 3 Novato CA.
A: Thanks for the details; they make the licensing picture clearer. A seller’s permit is what lets you collect sales tax and buy wholesale tax-free with a resale certificate. Paired with a business license, it qualifies for the $100 off.
Retail and online sellers usually need two things beyond the entity: a business license where they operate and a seller’s permit to collect sales tax. Selling only online does not make the business license disappear.
And the best part: with two or more items in the cart, the business license service is free.
🎁 How to get your business license free
Select two or more items in our order form (for example a business license plus an LLC, or a business license plus a tax ID) and $100 comes off the regular price automatically in the shopping cart. That pays for the business license service, so your business license is in effect free.
We locate the correct application, fill it out and file it. When a home occupation permit or an extra license from another level of govt is required, it is part of the one fee, not an extra charge. The certificate is sent to you by regular mail.
LLC, corporation and tax ID orders are filed by us, and we obtain the certificate or number for you.
Not included: the govt’s advance annual tax for the license. It is commonly a flat $10 to $50, but it can be higher for some businesses, and it is paid either by check with the application or at the end of the year.
Tip: Read the home occupation rules before you put up a sign or invite customers over. Most limits are about traffic, noise and signs.
😄 Online stores never close. The govt office does, so file online with us.

Before the first customer walks in (or clicks “buy”), a resale business needs its paperwork in order. Here is what that usually looks like. Retail and online sellers usually need two things beyond the entity: a business license where they operate and a seller’s permit to collect sales tax. Selling only online does not make the business license disappear.
Home-based? Then the home occupation permit is the one people forget. It confirms the business fits a residential area: limited traffic, no big signs, no noise.
Most places do not require a state trade or professional license for this kind of business, so the business license (plus a home occupation permit if you work from home) is usually the core.
Here is how it works: choose any two or more items, such as a business license and an LLC, or a business license and a seller’s permit. The cart automatically takes $100 off, which covers the business license service. In effect, the license is free.
For the business license, we find the right application(s), prepare them and file them. If you also need a home occupation permit, or licenses from more than one level of govt (such as a city license and a county license), they are all covered by the one business license fee. The certificate is mailed to you by regular mail.
For company formation and tax IDs, we handle the filing and get the certificate or number issued to you.
Not included: the annual license tax that the govt itself charges, usually a flat $10 to $50, sometimes more. In some places you send a check with the application; in others you pay it at year end.
😄 Buy low, sell high, file early.
