sudsnwicks Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 They should be listed in your state's business registry database, which can be found in your secretary of state's website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barncat Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I try to find their business name in the yellow pages or listed as carrying another line of product. Like my store is listed on other peoples site as selling wind & willow dips and curtains from IHF. Thereofre you know they are a business. If you can't find anything else I ask them for more info. like invoices totaling over $300 from a vendor or a combo of $2000 from varoius vendors or a pic of their store.

DonnaGA Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 When I worked for a grocery store. We had to have a hard copy of the actual tax ID certificate of registration for our files.Ask the Department of Revenue in your state how to verify OOS tax id numbers.good luck,donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavenScentU Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I always get a copy of their TAX ID# or FED ID # along with their information. It is easier for me to do that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountryGal Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 they should be able to provide you witha copy of thier documentation from their state giving them the number. My state sends one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorrie Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I always get a copy of their TAX ID# or FED ID # along with their information. It is easier for me to do that way.This is what I do. They have to prove to me that they are a business before they can place their first wholesale order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudsnwicks Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 finding them in my state is not the issue. it's the out of state applicants that i have difficulty finding. Go to their state's secretary of state website, and do a business name search. If they're a registered biz, they should be listed there. You'll be able to get their license # and ownership info from there. Of course, it's also best if you request for them to send you a photocopy of their biz license and tax id for recordkeeping purposes.

cindym Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 In my state it is required that I have a form filled out from each retail store I do business with. Even for out of state business I have them fill it out before I ship anything to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherie Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 In Texas, it's required to have a "hard" copy of the Tax ID or Resale Certificate on file to be tax exempt. If they are legitimate, they shouldn't mind providing that to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
