Opening an ecommerce store out of Virginia?

Question

I am opening an ecommerce store, but I want to know if and where you can get your business license and if you need it. How do you apply for a sales tax number? What does getting your business registered means and is that required? I live in the state of Virginia. Is there a site online to do all of this?

Answer 1

Try your local county or city chamber of commerce...they should have the answers you need. Not too sure about the rest of Va but Fairfax county has an outstanding website for all departments. If your in a place city or county that is not technically savy Id try another county and see if they can point you in the right direction. Good Luck.
