Jewelry Business License or Permit

What do I need for permits or taxes for selling jewelry? Do I need a license or somehow obtain an official "business" form from the government? I searched all over the web but can't seem to find info.

Thank you!

Jewelry Business License, etc.

The licenses, permits, or other paperwork you need for your jewelry business depend on what your local (city, county, state, or country) authorities require.

To find out what licensing your jewelry business is required to have, call your county or city clerk's office, which should be listed in the government section of your phone book. If you do need a license, there is usually just a one-page form to fill out and a small fee to pay.

Another step when you start a jewelry business is to register with your state's Department of Revenue Sales Tax Division. You can find your state's department of revenue online or in the state government section of your phone book.

Don't let these minor paperwork things keep you from getting your business going.

These are easier than they sound, and quick and painless to do. Your local authorities are usually quite helpful in getting you through the process.
