jchernyb Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Does everyone that sells candles have to have their company registered with their respective state? I thought that a person could not sell candles unless they were registered, but I found out differently yesterday when I saw someone selling their candles so I went online to my state Corporation database and their name is no where to be found. Hum..... Just wondering what the legal aspect of this is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 could be they are not a corporation. i know the one for michigan does not list sole proprietors. you could try checking with their local chamber of commerce to see if they have registered their name there if you need to know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth-VT Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 It will vary from state to state. Ours list all biz names....sole props/corps/etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockmonkey Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I don't know if there is a specific mandate regarding candle sellers registering with the state, which is how I read your message; but rather that people doing business in the state need to be collecting sales tax and therefore must register.Is it possible that this person could be operating under a "D/B/A" name, and therefore you weren't able to find them?

jchernyb Posted October 24, 2005 Author Share Posted October 24, 2005 The D/B/A could be a big possiblity. Maybe I can that info out. Thanks alot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
