| HI, I'M A STAY AT HOME MOM AND MY HUSBAND AND I WOULD LIKE TO START A BUSINESS ON THE INTERNET SELLING COOKIES, STUFFED ANIMALS, WEDDING FAVORS. I ALREADY SELL AVON BUT I DON'T HAVE ALOT OF CLIENTS SO I WANT TRY THIS ON THE SIDE. WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS BUY FROM WHOSALE COMPANIES AND SELL THEIR PRODUCTS ON OUR OWN WEBSITE. MY HUSBAND ALSO HAS CONNECTIONS WITH COMPANIES THAT SELLS COOKIES TO BAKERIES, STORES, ETC., BUT I WILL NOT BE BAKING THE COOKIES, I WILL JUST BE SHIPPING THEM TO CUSTOMERS, AND THE OTHER PRODUCTS I WILL BE DEALING WHOLESALE COMPANIES THAT DROP SHIP FOR YOU. I JUST WANTED TO KNOW WHAT KIND OF LICENSE I NEED TO SELL PRODUCTS FROM MY OWN WEBSITE, DO I NEED A BUSINESS LICENSE, SALES TAX ID, FDA APPROVAL, DO I NEED TO REGISTER WITH THE BBB? I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE ALL THE HELP I CAN GET, THANK YOU. |

| Definitely form a corporation and obtain a EIN. (You want to start to keep a separate book for your business). As far as reshipping the products that you get, you might have to work out a relationship with those manufacturers, but as far as selling online, I don't think you need a FDA-type license... |
