Tax 101: Do I need a business license to sell online?
Before your business starts operating, you’ll probably need a business license. Whether you need a business license to sell online comes down to what you sell and where you sell it. Watch the video to learn when you need a business license. Regardless of whether you need a business license, you’ll need to register to collect and remit sales tax if you start selling and making money online. Currently, all but two of the states with sales tax (Florida and Missouri) require online retailers to get either a seller’s permit or a sales and use tax permit.
