Starting a used clothing store in Elmira, MI: which licenses and registrations do I need?

Riki wrote: “I have an online thrift shop selling used clothing that I would like to turn into an actual storefront. Eventually I would like to have a storefront and sell online.”

Hi Riki, Riki's Racks sounds like a promising venture. Thrifting has become a treasure hunt that shoppers brag about, and vintage finds and sustainable fashion keep them coming back. In this answer you will find the business structure, the tax registrations, and the local and industry licenses for Riki's Racks, plus a short recap at the end.

Used clothing is taxable in Michigan, so register for sales tax and collect it on direct online sales and, later, storefront sales. Some cities regulate secondhand dealers, so check before you open a physical store. Starting online lets you build your inventory and customer base first, and when you sign a lease, confirm the space is zoned for retail.

What Riki's Racks needs

  1. LLC (business structure) – An LLC shields your house, car, and savings from claims against the business, and it looks more established to customers and banks. A consignor who says you underpaid for designer pieces could start a dispute, and an LLC keeps it a business matter.
  2. DBA (doing business as) registration – If you operate as a sole proprietor, or under a name different from your LLC's exact legal name, registering "Riki's Racks" lets you use it on signs, invoices, and your business bank account.
  3. EIN (federal tax ID number) – You plan on 1 employee, so the federal tax ID number (EIN) is required for payroll, and you will also use it for the business bank account and supplier accounts.
  4. Michigan sales tax permit (seller's permit) – You will be selling taxable goods, so register to collect sales tax before your first sale. It also lets you buy inventory for resale without paying tax on it.
  5. Michigan employer ID – With 1 employee, you need a state employer account number for payroll withholding and unemployment insurance. It works like the EIN, but for state payroll taxes.
  6. Business license – Most places require a local business license to operate, including home-based businesses. Check the rules where Riki's Racks will operate in Elmira, and ask about home occupation and zoning rules if you work from home.

By the numbers: Banks, insurers, and tax forms will ask for your industry code. For a used clothing store it is NAICS 453310 (Used Merchandise Stores), 459510 under the 2022 update. With 1 employee planned, you are already creating jobs in Elmira. That makes 6 items on your list.

Tip: Track cost and sale price for every piece, which makes sales tax reporting and pricing decisions far easier.

To recap: Riki's Racks in Elmira, MI needs an LLC, a DBA, an EIN, a sales tax permit, a state employer ID, and a business license. Check them off one by one and you will open with confidence.

A(n) Used Clothing Store business using a fictitious business name in Otsego County i.e. you are a business with a trade name other than the owner's legal (full name) name are required to get a(n) fictitious business name.   For instance you open a(n) Used Clothing Store business and you name it "Superior Used Clothing Store Group". You will need to file a fictitious business name for that name.

In Michigan 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.

LLC (Limited Liability Company) FAQs:


Q: Is setting up an LLC a better choice than filing a DBA?

A: If the business market projection is a target fot the company you should consider forming an LLC. For example if the assumed business name is . deRikitch Riki’S RacksCo. this name as well as any other name is an assumed business name and it must be recorded as a DBA Doing Business As name which also requires a fee to be recorded.

A trade registration is requred but if the owner wants to use the business name exclusively he or she cannot because anyone else can also file the same trade name. Nor does the trade name registration protects the owner from personal legal or financial liability as forming a limited liability company (LLC) . It is perhaps a better choice to just incorporate for the same or a little higher fee because you will also have corporate protection for the business name and personal vs business liabilities.

Q: What if I an an out of state business? Do I still need to register and obtain a limited liability company (LLC)?
A: Unless you have a location in the state you sell it is not required to form an LLC there.

Q: When do I have to change my limited liability company (LLC)?
A: You may have to get a new tax ID number if your status as a business changes. For example if you change from sole owner to a partnership or from LLC to corporation as well as when you buy a new business you need to get a new tax ID under your business name or individual name.

Q: Do I need to obtain a federal or state tax ID number before forming a limited liability company (LLC) or getting other licenses?
A:

Q: What is a DUNS Number?
A: Dun & Bradstreet is a business credit rating company and they use your info to inform lenders about how credit worthy you are.

A: Paying sales tax depends on your state. For example in Oregon you dont need to pay sales tax but you still need a resale certificate to buy from other states wholesale products.
