How do I obtain a wholesale license?

There is no such thing as a wholesale license.\n\nYou're interested in the following. You need to get a DBA from your county tax office so you can function and apply as a business. You'll need to get a sales tax certificate. At that point, you can officially wholesale as a business.

You may need to contact your city or county government for their requirements for business licensing.\n\nYou may also need to register yourself as a business in your city, county or state.\n\nWhile "Mark Bertrand"s information was helpful to you, this answer is in violation of YA's Community Guidelines for solicitation.

Hi!\nActually you do not need any kind of licensing to do this, but I would recommend you to register your pictures under Copyrights that way you can avoid "somehow" people to copy your artwork! :) Additionally if you are seriously planning to do create this kind of business you are talking to the right person as I'm a professional web-designer, because I can make online-payments before downloads! :) Just contact me : gio@gomezsolutions.com. Take care!

Fictitious name/business name registration would suffice. Businesses, even the smallest home-based operations, are required to register with either their city or county. Check with your city or county office the procedures in filing for business registration.\n\nLicenses are for specific businesses (e.g. restaurant, daycare) and marketing businesses are not often asked to apply for licenses. But to be sure, contact your county and ask for the requirements. On the Web, you can start by going to your Secretary of State website, which often have the information on how to start a business in your area.\n\nGenerally, businesses need an Employer Identification Number (EIN) or federal tax identification number. The EIN is used to identify a business entity such as a corporation, LLC, or partnership. Sole proprietorships that need to pay federal excise of employment taxes are required to get an EIN. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) web site at http://www.irs.ustreas.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=98350,00.html contains all the information you need about EIN and how to apply for an EIN electronically.\n\nA business that sells any tangible item is required to get a sales and use tax license. Sales and use tax that applies to the retail purchase, retail site, rental, storage, use or consumption of tangible personal property and certain services vary between states. Check with your state Comptroller office for the requirements and procedures in getting a sales tax number.\n\nAnother thing to consider is zoning permit, especially for home-based business. This is especially important if clients will be going to your home. While many home based entrepreneurs get away with not having to file zoning permits, the litmus test is often the neighbors. If a neighbor complains, then that's when the zoning board typically steps in.

First you would have to apply for a business license, before that though you should make sure to really research your items that you sell...or that your rental space will allow you to make a profit.  Its a good idea to make contacts with your suppliers now, that way you can see if its profitable business or something that will stress you out and barely keeping your head above water.

first, you have to have a wholesaler's license. you can go to sba.gov to find out how to get one. and then I very much doubt you will deal directly with Microsoft, usually a company of that magnitude is going to sell their product to distributors, who will sell it to wholesalers, who usually then sell it to retailers like Best Buy. You may find a link to distributors if you go to a Microsoft site, though.

Business registration - Businesses, even the smallest home-based operations, are required to register with either their city or county. Check with your city or county office the procedures in filing for business registration.\n\nDBA - Registering your fictitious business name is important for a number of reasons. Banks look for proof that you have properly registered the name when opening a business account. An even more important consideration is that you won't be able to enforce any contract that you sign under an unregistered name. An unregistered business name also leaves that name open for use by other businesses, even your competitors, which may jeopardize your business.\n\nSellers permit if you are receiving wholesale goods -- wholesalers ask for this\n\nTax ID or EIN - sole proprietors with no employees are not required to get an EIN, and can instead use their Social Security numbers. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) web site at http://www.irs.ustreas.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=98350,00.html contains all the information you need about EIN and how to apply for an EIN electronically.\n\nI suggest you go to your local county and check with them the requirements for the type of business you are planning to start

city/local ordinances stating what sort of businesses can operate in the building/area you want to open your shop.  also, you may need licenses - fire marshall, safety inspector, etc.  you also need to fill out tax forms with the state.  my suggestion would be calling both state and local governments and ask tham what steps you need to take as a lot of it depends on where you live.
