Registering Your Own Small New Street vendor Business
I want to be a street vendor. What do I do?
Under the First Amendment, you can sell newspapers, magazines, cd’s, books and art on the street without a vending license. Also, political items like t-shirts and buttons may be sold without a license.
To sell jewelry / custom t-shirts / crafts under the 1st amendment, you have to have an intention to communicate any idea, opinion or belief. However, there are many streets where you cannot vend at all.
You must also abide by State tax law by getting a seller's permit tax ID and by collecting and paying sales taxes on what you sell.
Of course, the other nuisances of starting a vendor business depends on the type of vendor, such as merchandise, food, etc. You need to find out all information you will need to open. That takes research.
Do I need a license or permit? How do I get one?
Yes, you need a business license and a seller's permit license. If you have a food push cart, you will need a license and health inspection as well. Keep in mind that using a trade name requires a dba filing and hiring employees requires a federal and state ein. A seller's permit is required because you will need to collect tax for your sales and then in turn, you will need to pay the state government the tax you collect. That is why you need the sellers permit number to file sales tax returns.
Where can I vend?
Once you obtain, your licenses, there will be a list of where you can or cannot vend your merchandise or food.
I want to work at a street fair. Can you help me? Most fairs and festivals rent out the space to people who want to sell there. You still need a business license to sell at street fairs and festivals. First, select your business structure: Sole Proprietor, Partnership, LLC or Corporation.
The above step is important business all documents will be filed under the type of business organizational structure.
After that, you will need to obtain a business permit.
This is a general business permit that all new businesses must obtain.
Note that in the majority of the cases you do not need to obtain a business permit that is specifically for your type of business.
You only need a general business permit.
In addition, all businesses must be identified by a business tax ID called a federal tax ID number or Employer Identification Number (EIN). If you file as a sole proprietor, you can use your social security number instead of the federal ID.
Then, a Street vendor seller's permit is required if you sell merchandise wholesale or retail.
The sellers permit is also called state ID, wholesale ID, resale ID, or re-seller license.
If you are an employer, you will need a federal employer Number and a State Employer Number.
If you do business as a name other than your full legal name, for example, you do business as " Street vendor fost," you will need to file a doing business as (DBA) filing.
Finally, you have the option or incorporating or forming an Street vendor LLC. Setting up as one of these corporate entities allows you not to file a DBA.I would like to sell snacks like candy apples, snow cones, pop corn balls ect..
