DBA
DBA stands for “doing business as”. This means that, for example, if you are a small business owner and you name your business “Ultra A1 Clothing Fashions,” that name is a “doing business as,” name. The DBA is a fictitious business name also called an assumed business name or fictitious firm name. When you hear, you need a DBA filing; it means that you need to register your business name with a fictitious business name certificate. That filing may require legal newspaper publication, as well as filing proof of that publication. On this site, as of 8/22/12, the price to file a DBA starts at $119 and it includes all of the above: namely, the filing, the publication, the proof, and notarization, if required.
Selling Tangible Products.
Tangible means touchable. That is, anyone can touch it. All tangible products are also taxable exempt perhaps agricultural products and unprepared food. Thus, if you sell clothing, accessories, rockets, or tanks to anyone within the state your business is located, you will need to charge sales tax. That requires that you obtain a sellers permit. Note that you also need to select your business legal tax structure as a sole proprietor, LLC or corporation in order to sell your products as a business. Regardless of which one you chose, you will need a business license and a federal tax ID as well.

What is a License ( often mispelled as "licence")
A license, in general, is a permission given by an authority such as the government to an individual or business. The license grants the licensee the permission to be engaged in some activity. For purposes of this site, a license is a business license ( as opposed to a professional or other technical license). That means that you are given permission to perform services or sell products.
What Does a License Allow You To Do?
It does not give you permission to sell any specific products nor services.
A business license is a permission to do business (almost any business), though there are limits, and the license is in fact issued to operate a certain type of business.
However, a business license does not license you to operate the business type but to operate the business in general.
Thus, for example, you can get a business license to practice law but you still need to pass the state bar to actually practice law because you cannot practice law without the state bar license even though you need another license for the BUSINESS of law. That is the law office business.
Of course, you do not need a professional license to sell items from home as a home or online business selling on eBay, for example, but you do need a business license.

ANSWER: Minimum business California
licensing and Trade Name Certificate requirements | First, all businesses are required to get a Business License. Then, all employers need to obtain a federal tax identification number and a state employer identification number also called a EIN tax id number. Wholesalers and retailers of items that can be touched -- items that are tangible - are required to obtain a sales tax ID Number also referred to as a Sellers Permit, state tax ID etc. In addition, a trade fictitious business name registration is required for most businesses that use a name other than the last family name of the owner or the legal name of the corporation or limited liability company. If a person uses his last family name in the trade firm name, he can avoid filing a DBA Doing Business As certificate though it is recommended that one is recorded to protect the company name. If the business is a partnership, a DBA is required as well as a federal tax ID number and a partnership agreement is also a very good idea to avoid disputes about percentage of ownership and who contributes more work etc. Note that if you elect to register a limited liability company, you will not need to register your company name. However, if you do business in a name other than the LLC name, you will have to file a DBA for it. Also, if you form an LLC, you will need an operating agreement because without it the bank will not open a bank account in the LLCs name. Same goes for a DBA. If you dont have a DBA banks do not open checking accounts in the business name. If you decide to incorparate, you will also need bylaws. Bylaws and annual meetings are formalities that you must follow if you incorporate your business. A nationwide business name search is recomended as well to clear the name and make sure no one uses it. Also note that independed contractors are required to get a federal ID because most companies that hire independent contractors ask for it. If you are in a trade that requires a state exam, you will need that and a certificate from the state. Most such trades such as notaries, plumbers, electricians, contractors, nurses etc are also required to get a bond insurance. Businesses that sell items that are state regulated such as alcohol etc they need a liquor license in addition to all other licenses. Also anything that has to do with food, health and chemicals, needs additional clearance from the county such as health permits etc. |
