I am trying to open a online store to sell dj equipment so i guess the store would be like guitar center but not as big. What do i need in order to start the store? I know i need a Business License, Home Occupation permit. What do i need in order to get a distributor?Also does anyone know of any good website host to create online stores?I am in Dixon, California if anyone needs to know the area for rules

You basically need to legally establish the business, (incorporate preferably), get a fed tax ID (EIN), get a state sales tax license. Also check with your cuty/state/county and make sure there aren t any local operating permits needed. You then need to find a distributor. It s a good idea to figure out if you want to keep your own inventory, or if you want them to drop ship for you. You would then setup your website and product catalog, online ordering, etc...
