Business Starting Grants

What are all the licenses and permits that I need to start an on line business selling wigs?

I am starting a on line business selling wigs. I know I need a DBA, Business license and Fed tax ID and maybe even a regular sale tax permit. What else do I need or don't need. Thanks

1. I think it depends what state your in. I live in Florida, and for me to sell stuff online, i dont' believe i need a business license or a sellers permit, but i do need to register my business cuz they want their money too.
2. Everything you need comes with your dba.
3. You need a business phone number. Since its an online business, here is a way to do it without dishing out $75 a month for a business line. Pick out a business number at http://kall8.tollfree2.com and it will only cost $2 a month. You can get vanity numbers such as 1-800-buy-wigs or something for a little more. The way to save money is that you can have all the calls ring to your personal number. The way to handle it is that you set up the number so it shows the 800 number on your caller id so you can identify the business calls from personal calls. The number comes with its own voicemail so customers won't be hearing your personal voicemail if you don't answer it. You can also customize which hours it should ring or go strait to voicemail. This way you can handle all calls on one phone without paying for two lines. These numbers can receive faxes too which are emailed to you as images or pdfs. For another $2 you could have your own decidated fax line.
