What do you call a florist who can't make a profit? A stem cell.



Do I need an LLC, DBA, or tax ID such as a seller's permit or employer IDs from the state and federal government for Florist Shop business?

Yes, you will need all of these things for your florist shop business.

LLC: An LLC, or limited liability company, is a business structure that provides limited liability protection for its owners. This means that your personal assets are protected from business debts and liabilities.

DBA: A DBA, or doing business as, name is a registered name that your business can use to operate under. It is not a legal entity, but it can be helpful for branding and marketing purposes.


Tax ID: A tax ID, or employer identification number (EIN), is a unique number that is assigned to your business by the IRS. You will need an EIN to open a business bank account, hire employees, and file taxes.

Seller's Permit: A seller's permit is a license that allows you to sell goods and services in your state. The specific requirements for obtaining a seller's permit vary from state to state.

Employer ID: If you plan to hire employees, you will need to obtain an employer ID number (EIN) from the IRS. You will use this EIN to file payroll taxes and report new hires to your state government.

Additional Licenses and Permits: In addition to the basic licenses and permits listed above, you may also need to obtain additional licenses and permits depending on the specific type of florist shop you are opening. For example, if you plan to sell food or drinks, you will need to obtain a food service license.

Certification: There is no specific certification required to open a florist shop. However, there are a number of voluntary certifications that you can obtain, such as the Certified Floral Designer (CFD) certification from the American Institute of Floral Designers (AIFD).

Business Realities About Business Licenses You need a business license because you are a business (i.e., you are engaged in an activity for profit). The IRS has determined that all profits regardless where they come from are subject to taxation.

Business licenses can help to protect consumers and ensure that businesses are operating in a safe and ethical manner. The cost of business licenses varies depending on the type of license and the municipality in which you are operating.

Roscoe Business Tax Registration ( Business License)
All businesses including home, online or mobile BUSINESS need a BUSINESS license because they are BUSINESSES.



A(n) Florist business using a fictitious business name in Sullivan County i.e. you are a business with a trade name other than the owner's legal (full name) name are required to get a(n) fictitious business name.   For instance you open a(n) Florist business and you name it "Superior Florist Group". You will need to file a fictitious business name for that name.

In addition note that in New York you may also need a seller's permit if you sell merchandise that is taxable.  (A.K.A state id, wholesale, resale, reseller certificate, about $39 for most states).
Seller's Permit



Note: All businesses need a federal tax ID number except sole proprietors that are not employers and are not independent contractors.
An independent contractor is a self employed business person that receives more than $600 per year from anyone of his or her clients.
IRS rule: The client must issue a 1099 form to the independent contractor and the independent contractor must have a federal tax ID. However, even sole owners may obtain a federal ID and use it as a business tax ID instead of using their own social security number as a business tax ID number.
However, all other licenses that apply to sole proprietors as discussed here are requited regardless of getting a federal tax ID number.


In addition you will need a federal and a state EIN if you will hire employees. I.e., a NY Federal Tax Id Number ($29)  and a(n) NY  State Employer Tax Number  


Instead of filing a fictitious business name DBA Filing (about $49 plus state and legal newspaper publication fees) in Roscoe, Incorporate in NY  or form a(n) NY LLC


You have a choice to file a DBA or form an LLC or incorporate. There is a cicrcumstance that you may not need to register a trade name and that is when you use your full name as a business name if you use your full legal name as a trade name.
Also note that even using your first and last name may not help you avoid filing a DBA if the name has a suffix such as "& sons" etc.



If you do form an Other llc or incorporate (about $49 plus state fees for most states) your Florist business instead of just filing a fictitious business name (dba), that insurs that you don't have personal liability for debts and civile liabililty arising from your business dealings and you will not have to record the Roscoe business name. Instead of just registering your Sullivan County assumed business name (our fee includes assumed business name registration and legal newspaper publication) you can choose to setup a corporation in New York or form an NY LLC (starts @ $49 plus state fee for most states & includes required documents such as bylaws for the corporation and Limited Liability operating agreement for the LLC). .

About Your Business Type

Florist

“Flowers always make people better, happier and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul.” – Luther Burbank


Q: Do I have to go to school to be a licensed florist?

Answer: You don't have to go to school, but you can obtain a certificate from a school such as Floral Design Technology Program - CSN https://www.csn.edu/schools/school-of-advanced-and-applied-technologies/department-of-applied-technologies/floral-design-technology-program The Floral Design Technology Program prepares students to work in the commercial floral design industry, which encompasses private retail shops

A: Ok, regardless of your purpose for buying flowers wholesale, you need a seller's permit AKA wholesale license to buy them wholesale. Florist -
Hey Tom, you want to start a florist business? That's great! Now you can smell the roses while you rake in the dough!

BUSINESS PLAN:

First off, you need to know that the floral industry is blooming! The floral industry has an annual revenue of over $7 billion, and it's projected to grow by 3.5% every year. So, get ready to be a part of this blossoming industry. The NAICS CODE for florist businesses is 453110 - Florists.

BUSINESS OWNERSHIP:

When it comes to business ownership, an LLC is like a bouquet of flowers - it offers the best of both worlds. It provides the limited liability protection of a corporation while allowing for the pass-through taxation of a sole proprietorship. An LLC also offers flexibility in management and ownership, making it a popular choice for small businesses.

BUSINESS CERTIFICATION:

Now, let's talk about the legal stuff. Since you're using a trade name, you'll need to register for a DBA or LLC certificate. A DBA is a "doing business as" certificate, while an LLC is a limited liability company. Both will protect your business name and provide legal protection.

LICENSES AND PERMITS:

All florist businesses need a business license and an EIN, but if you're planning to sell wholesale, you'll need a seller's permit too. Also, if you're selling any tangible items or merchandise, you'll need a seller's permit to comply with sales tax laws. And if you're planning on hiring, you'll need to obtain a Federal and State EIN.

ADDITIONAL LICENSING:

In addition to these requirements, florist businesses may also need to obtain floral design certification, liability insurance, and other relevant certifications, depending on the state and local regulations.

Floral Decoration, Design, Arrangement, Event etc.

1) Florist Flower Design licenses And Permits You will need a Florist flower vending general Business License and a Seller's Permit to provide floral services, if you have a business name, such as "Wild Flower Floral Arrangements," 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 Florist 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 Seller's Permit service. You need to get only seasonal, beautiful flowers that are fresh and attractive

Florist Floral Business Location

(3) Create a flower workshop to arrange and sell your floral services. It can be your garage or any other location you rent.

(4) Hire vendors or Designers after you establish your business.

Marketing Your Florist Flower Business

(5) Put the word out there by advertising your business. Note that a flower design service 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.

"I love working with flowers because they just bring joy to people and a little bit of color," she said. "I can only imagine what is happening behind the walls of our hospitals."

So, you want to start a floral shop, huh? That's a good one! I mean, flowers are like the Kardashians, they're always in season, always looking good, and always expensive!


THE EXCITING WORLD OF FLORAL SHOP BUSINESS

Starting a (Floral Shop) business is an exciting venture as it allows you to tap into the $8.5 billion flower industry. According to IBISWorld, the Floral Shop Industry (NAICS Code 453110) is expected to grow at an annual rate of 1.5% from 2021 to 2026. That's a lot of bloomin' potential! But don't get too caught up in the business plan, remember, life and business are unpredictable, so focus on your end goal.


Now, let me break it down for you, my friend. You need a business license, a seller's permit, and depending on your state you may need a certificate for floral arrangement license. And don't forget about taxes, because Uncle Sam always wants his cut.

"I'm not saying flowers are the answer to all your problems, but have you ever seen someone frown while holding a bouquet of flowers? Exactly."


LICENSES NEEDED TO START A FLORAL SHOP BUSINESS

First things first, Before you obtain a license, you must decide on the type of ownership you want for your business, whether it be a sole proprietorship, partnership, LLC, or Corporation. Choosing the right ownership type can make a big difference in your tax savings. For example, an LLC treated as an "S" Corp can save on taxes and has the most advantages over even a "C" corporation. Also, all Floral Shop businesses need a business license and an EIN.

But if you plan on selling wholesale or want to buy wholesale, you'll also need a seller's permit. And if your Floral Shop sells retail items, such as merchandise, tangible items, or even some services, you'll need a seller's permit because those items are subject to sales tax.

And since your Floral Shop business has a funny trade name like "Blossom & Giggle," you'll need to register with a DBA certificate or an LLC or Corporation certificate. This is because the law wants to protect the public from shady businesses hiding their full legal names behind their trade names.

So, you got your business name picked out, right? Let me guess, "Flower Power" or "Petals and Posies"? No, no, no, you gotta go for something more unique, like "Bloom and Gloom" or "The Bouquet Bandit"!

But, hold up, before you start printing out those business cards, you gotta make sure you got all your licenses in order. Trust me, you don't want to mess with the government, they're like the mafia, but with more paperwork.

But, let me tell you a secret, getting those licenses can be a real pain in the petunias. I knew this guy, let's call him Bob, who tried to start a flower shop, but the government had him on hold for so long, he started to grow his own flowers just to pass the time.

So, what did Bob do? He found this website that did all the legal stuff for him, and he was up and running in no time. It was like magic! And the best part, it didn't cost him an arm and a tulip.

So, my advice to you, my budding entrepreneur, is to find yourself a good legal document preparation and filing website, which we are here. You can obtain all these licenses here online, and let us handle the boring stuff.

That way, you can focus on what really matters, making people smile with your beautiful bouquets. And who knows, maybe one day, you'll be the next big thing in the floral industry, and you'll be able to buy yourself a private island with all that flower money! 


LICENSE FEE AND OTHER REQUIREMENTS

All Floral Shop businesses need a license, which can cost anywhere from $10 to under $100 annually, depending on your location. In some upscale cities, communities may collect $500 or more annually just for having a business in their city. Their rationale is to ensure safety, nuisance, sanitary, and aesthetic reasons, but let's be honest, they just want to get some extra cash out of you.

And remember, there are specific requirements for home-based businesses and brick and mortar businesses. Home-based businesses need to comply with zoning rules and cannot have signs, employees, deliveries, noise, hazard, etc.

Meanwhile, brick and mortar businesses require certificates of occupancy for exit signs, fire extinguishers, fire sprinklers, fire detectors, fire alerts, special trash cans for unsanitary trash, employee rights posters, and emergency exit doors and signs. So, make sure you have everything in order before opening your Floral Shop.

Closing joke: "Starting a Floral Shop business is like planting a garden, it takes hard work, dedication, and a lot of patience. But just like a beautiful blooming flower, the rewards are worth it!"

LLC (Limited Liability Company) FAQs:


Q: Would an LLC be better than filing a fictitious business name?

A: If you desire more business prestige for market presence you may want to set up an LLC. E.g. the fictitious business name (DBA) is . deJilltch , Inc.Co. this name as well as any other name is an assumed business name and it must be recorded as a DBA Doing Business As name which also requires a fee to be recorded.

Just recording an assumed business name does nothing to keep the name exclusive nor does it avoid personal liability for the business owners. Only setting up a limited liability company (LLC) will protect the name at the state level and also protect the owners of personal liability. It is perhaps a better choice to just incorporate for the same or a little higher fee because you will also have corporate protection for the business name and personal vs business liabilities.

E.g. if your business has debts the lender can sue you personally to obtain a judgment vs your personal assets as opposed in the case you were a corporation where the lender could only sue the corporation directly and if the limited liability company (LLC) had no assets the lender could get nothing.

A limited liability company (LLC) affords more prestige and it helps you obtain business loans.

Q: Can I apply by phone and set up a limited liability company (LLC)?.
A: You can apply by phone but the best way is to just fill out our online limited liability company (LLC) form.

Q: I already have a tax ID as a sole proprietor can I use it for the LLC I am forming now?
A: Forming a new type of entity of a business constitutes change of status for that business and that requires you to get new licenses and tax IDs under your name.

Q: What if I an an out of state business? Do I still need to register and obtain a limited liability company (LLC)?
A: Unless you have a location in the state you sell it is not required to form an LLC there.

Q: If I order a limited liability company (LLC) online how long will it take before I receive it?
A: Normally we will have to wait for a corporate certificate if you are a corporation othewise we normally obtain it on the same day you order it.

Q: Do I need to obtain a federal or state tax ID number before forming a limited liability company (LLC) or getting other licenses?
A:

Q: What is a DUNS Number?
A: Dun & Bradstreet is a business credit rating company and they use your info to inform lenders about how credit worthy you are.

Q: Do I need to pay sales tax to the state as an LLC?
A: Paying sales tax depends on your state. For example in Oregon you dont need to pay sales tax but you still need a resale certificate to buy from other states wholesale products.
