Flower Vending: Selling Flowers on the Street
Steps to operating your own small flower vending business:
(1) Flower Shop Licenses And Permits
You will need a flower vending general business license and a sellers permit to sell on the street. To sell out of the shop, if you have a business name, such as "Wild Flower," you will also need a DBA filing because fictitious business name must be filed with the clerk, and if you will hire employees, to help you sell and arrange flowers, you will need a state employer tax ID and a Federal employer tax ID EIN.
Getting Your Flowers Wholesale
(2) Research and find a flower wholesaler to get fresh flowers. You will need to show your resale certificate that is included with our sellers permit service.
You need to get only seasonal, beautiful flowers that are fresh and attractive
Flower Selling Location
(3) Create a flower workshop to arrange and sell your flowers. It can be your garage or any other location you rent.
(4) Hire vendors after you establish your business.
Marketing Your Flower Business
(5) Put the word out there by advertising your business.
Note that a flower shop may be a corporation or limited liability company ( LLC ) even if there is only one owner. In such case, you will also need a federal tax ID and you will not have to register your flower business name.
