Selling Crafts
Do I have to be a formal business in order to make handmade crafts and sell them online or from a store?
Yes, you need to become a business to sell handmade crafts.
Thus, you first, select your business structure: Sole Proprietor, Partnership, LLC or Corporation.
Then, a sellers permit is required to buy your craft materials wholesale and sell retail if you sell handmade crafts merchandise wholesale or retail.
If you are an employer, i.e., if you hire anyone to help you with handmade craft making, you will need a federal employer Number and a State Employer Number.
Users of a trade name will need a fictitious business name filing. For example, if you name your handmade craft business "Crafty but Arty," you will need to officially register that business name.
Finally, you have the option or incorporating or forming an LLC for your handmade craft business.
