Here’s what permits and tax id number (s)  you are required to get 1. A business license. 2. A DBA certificate, and 3. it is recommended that you get a federal id to use as a business id instead of using your social security number.  Most small business advisors recommend that you form an LLC limited liability company or incorporating instead of filing an assumed business name certificate ( DBA) .  Forming an LLC or incorporating is probably the most inexpensive business insurance protecting your personal assets.   For example, if you are sued for something that arose out of a business transaction, plaintiffs cannot go after your house or car if you are incorporated or have formed an LLC.   Finally, if you do form an LLC or incorporate, you don’t need to get a DBA, but you will need to obtain a federal tax id number because a fed id is the business tax id for the corporation.
