Vendor's Permit VendorsLicense

What is a Vendor's License? 

A vendor's license is similar to a business license and it may be similar to a peddler's license but a peddler's license is issued to businesses with no fixed location whereas a vendor's license is not issued on that basis. 

It is issued more on the basis a business license is issued. 

On the other hand, a Vendor's License is like a seller's permit because it is required for for businesses that are in general taxable such as firewood sales. 

However, it is more like a business license because you cannot use a vendor's license to to buy wholesale sell retail or sell wholesale - you will need to obtain a seller's permit for buying or selling wholesale or retail.
