(Note that that is not a specific license to your type of business it is a BUSINESS license) as well.

Using a ice cream truck company trade name subjects you to having to file a DBA . For instance, your name is Donald Tramp, and you do business as Best Items By Tramp, the Tramp name must be registered with a DBA Doing Business As certificate because it is not your full legal name (namely, Donald Tramp.

Also, note that whatever item that you sell or lease and it is an item that can be touched (i.e., tangible such as equipment, jewelry, merchandise, electronics, prepared food) requires a sales ID ( Sellers Permit ) to either buy or sell the items or products wholesale from companies that sell in bulk and or sell them retail directly to consumers. The sellers permit is also called a sales tax ID, a state ID (there are 2 state IDs and the other one is called an state employer ID but you most likely need the sales tax ID from the state ).

However, you will still need other ice cream truck filings business tax registrations, such as permits, a fictitious business name DBA, and tax IDs as described above. For example, if you want to be an LLC, you must obtain an LLC certificate and an LLC operating agreement as well as an EIN.

You need the EIN to be the LLC ID in addition to being an Employer ID if you hire workers.

Finally, even sole proprietor ice cream truck working from home or just online can set up a LLC or incorporate, in which case, they will not need to register the trade name with a DBA because the LLC or Corporation name will be the legal name of the business.

A DBA stands for Doing Business As and it is also called a fictitious, assumed, trade firm or business certificate trade name.
