REQUIRED LICENSES
Legal Structure

Whether an online, home, store, concession stand or a mobile cart, you will need to first select among sole owner/proprietor, partnership, LLC or corporation, all of which also require a General Business License (not a specific license to your type of business) as well. If your trade name is a business name other than your full personal legal name, you will need to file a DBA . For instance, your name is John Doe, and you do business as Best Widgets By John, the name must be registered with a DBA Biz Name because it is not your full legal name. 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, toys, merchandise, electronics, prepared food) requires a state sales tax ID ( Sellers Permit ) to either buy or sell the items or products wholesale and or sell them retail. If you are hiring workers anytime soon, you will need a Federal EIN and a State EIN (employer identification number). Other instances that you will need a federal tax ID are: if you are a partnership, an independent contractor, and a corporation or an LLC . You can also obtain a federal tax ID as a sole proprietor and use it as a business tax ID in the place of a social security number. However, you will still need other registrations, such as licenses, an assumed business name DBA, and tax IDs as described above. Finally, even one person, sole owner/proprietors working from home or just online can form a LLC or incorporate, in which case, they will not need to file a DBA.

Here is the tax ids you need for in Houston, TX.

Answer:

Here are the legal permits and steps required to start your own Houston small company.


    Starting businesses need a(n) , Houston business Id registration ( business tax registration or business permit).

  Starting businesses using a company name other than the legal owner's name need a(n) Fort Bend County   DBA Doing Business As Trade Firm Name Registration.  

   A business tax ID registration (occupationall business license ) and a DBA Doing Business As Fictious Business Name are ncessary for most businesses but if your business sells any taxable items, you will need a sales tax ID number.  (A.K.A San Antonioseller's permit, state id, wholesale, resale, reseller certificate).

    If you are thinking of hiring help, you will need a tax id called a state EIN and an IRS tax id number called an EIN Employer ID Number. I.e., a TX Federal Tax Id Number and a(n) TX  State Employer Tax Number  

    Instead of filing a fictitious business name DBA Filing in Houston, Incorporate in TX  or form a(n) TX LLC 

THERE ARE 4 TAX IDS: A federal tax ID, a Sales Tax ID, a State employer Tax ID, and a Business Tax Registration ID.

Starting businesses need a tax registration business ID ( AKA business license or home occupation permit.) A sole owner can obtain a federal tax ID number (recommended) to use it as a business tax ID. This is because a business must be identified with a business tax ID. If it does not have a federal tax ID a sole proprietor uses his or her social security card to identify the business. However, if the business is a sole proprietor, it does not need a tax ID unless it is an employer, in which case it will need a federal ID and a State Employer ID (employer identification number). If the new small business will sell or lease any merchandise equipment or sell any items wholesale or retail or buy wholesale it will need a sales tax ID number also called a resale ID, a state sales tax ID, wholesale ID or resale license. Partnerships need at least a federal tax ID number and a fictitious business name registration. Finally, anyone, even one person can be an LLC or corporation.

If you will set up a corporation or form an LLC, you will not have to file a DBA (Doing Business As) unless your corproration or LLC name will be different that the busienss name you will trade under. If you will be a partnership as opposed to an LLC or sole owner, you will need a federal tax id number. Businesses that use the full legal name of the owner as a business name do not need to register an assumed business name. So, for example, your name is "John X Doe" and you use that as a business name.
