Resale Certificate Question For you business types? -

I m planning on opening a shop. This shop consists of furniture and home decor mainly, but the difference between a regular ol shop and mine is that it will be focused on rescued and reupholstered furniture.In other words, this will be used but renovated furniture.Now my question is, what kind of resale certificates, licenses, etc. will i need in order to open my shop? I know there is like a specific license for pawn shops and thrift stores, but i really don t know exactly what type.Is there and sites or places i could find out, or at least a guideline i could start with?Thanks!

There is just the one resale certificate--that is simply the way you collect pay state sales taxes--it allows you to buy goods with out taxes (and then you pass that on the the customer). You get that from the state franchise tax board. A business license is different and allows you to operate a business. That is from the city/town hall where you live. They can answer any of your other questions as well.
