I'm starting an online business...?

I am wondering a couple of things... what do i need to do as far as legal stuff is concerned, like taxing and licenses and such, i live in new jersey and i am selling something to do with arts and crafts stuff..

The best routes to take are to research the process of starting a business as well as the industry you're interested in.

I posted links for you in the source box pertaining to starting a business in New Jersey as well as the arts & crafts industry.

Research, research, research 鈥?this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can. Here are some book titles that are relevant:

Arts & Crafts Online:

* Start Your Own Crafts Business (Entrepreneur Magazine's Start-Up ; Guide #1304) by Entrepreneur Press
* How to Start a Home-Based Craft Business, 4th by Kenn Oberrecht
* The Basic Guide to Selling Crafts on the Internet by James Dillehay
* The Crafts Business Answer Book & Resource Guide: Answers to Hundreds of Troublesome Questions About Starting, Marketing, and Managing a Homebased Business Efficiently, Legally, and Profitably by Barbara Brabec

Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

You need to check out your state's web site and see what sales taxes need to be charged and to whom. I have to file sales taxes every quarter.
