Hi Ron, Cow Island Products is off to a smart start by getting the paperwork right first. Digital books cost nothing to ship, so every e-book sale is nearly pure margin. In this answer you will find the business structure, the tax registrations, and the local and industry licenses for Cow Island Products, plus a short recap at the end.
Working from New Hampshire is a perk here: the state has no general sales tax, so you won't need a seller's permit for local orders. Your online sales to buyers in other states only trigger their tax rules once you pass their thresholds. For the e-books, make sure you have resale rights, since reselling e-books without a license from the publisher can be copyright infringement.
By the numbers: Banks, insurers, and tax forms will ask for your industry code. For an e-book and motorcycle accessory shop it is NAICS 441310 (Automotive Parts and Accessories Stores), 441330 under the 2022 update. That makes 5 items on your list.
Tip: Check whether your state taxes digital goods, because rules for e-books differ widely.
To recap: Cow Island Products in Center Tuftonboro, NH needs an LLC, a DBA, an EIN, and a business license. Handle these early and the business starts on solid ground.
