I am new to candle making, so I won't be much help there, but I have owned several small buisnesses in Texas. For starters you need to apply for your sells tax permit. You can find information on the comptrollers web site at http://window.state.tx.us/taxinfo/sales/ There is alot of useful information there about small businesses. I also had to apply for a federal tax id number since I have employees. I believe that you can visit www.irs.gov and find this information. I also registered with the Texas Workforce Commission (sp?). I think the site for that is www.twc.state.tx.us Other than that, I registered my business name at the county clerks office. HTH Kristy
