    Hi, I live in California and I am wondering if I need any licenses to run a ecommerce store? Note* I have a Trademark.

    You do not need a special license to operate on the web. As with any business, you will need a resellers permit if you products are sold within California and subject to sales tax. If you are not operating under your own name, you will need to file a fictitious business name statement in the county you live in, and should check with the city to see if a business license is required to operate out of your location (even if it is your house).

    What if I'm located in California and I'm selling to other states. Will I need a license then?
