Start at the beginning, it's a very fine place to start,.... just wish I had followed that advice a year ago. I am at the point of ordering fabric when I realize that I need tax and permit information that I just don't have. So spent the week researching and filling out forms. I have my FEIN #, applied for my Authority to Collect Sales Tax, my exempt from sales tax for ordering supplies, an RN # and my Application for Apparel Industry Certification. Guess they want to make sure I'm not a sweat shop. Although I don't pay myself a decent wage I'm not going to complain. I'm sure I'll find something that I forgot but for now I think that covers it. I already have a DBA so got that covered. This week, I'll follow up and get everything finalized and then get to ordering my sample yardage.
