Nathan Cox25 said:Yeah. It’s all paper-thin—you don't even need retail for this. Anything you churn out is basically sold before it's even finished.
If you actually want to run a shop, though, you need people who know what they're doing: sales reps, someone with an Econ degree from a state school, maybe an admin assistant or a clerk.
Don't just take everything at face value from some random blog—head down to the local Chamber of Commerce and get the real story.

That’s actually not true. Since the regulations changed last October regarding small business licenses, you don't need the specific professional qualifications you mentioned. Any standard high school diploma will do. I actually went ahead and checked with the local Small Business Administration, and even got a written confirmation from the Department of Commerce.

So now, here's what I'm trying to figure out: if I set up this small business, can I manufacture my own stuff—like custom wedding invitations—and then sell them through my own retail outlet? What kind of NAICS code should I be looking at? And how does the tax declaration work for that? etc.
I'm still a bit fuzzy on that part. Do I have to register as both a manufacturer and a retailer, or is there a way to combine them? 🤷

So, I’m getting ready to launch my own small business—basically a boutique shop selling school and office supplies, toys, and a bunch of other fun stuff.
I did some quick digging on some government websites, and it looks like I don't need a specific trade degree or anything to get the ball rolling. Plus, I've already got the physical storefront and everything meets the basic requirements.
The one thing that's tripping me up is this whole national business classification system. How many categories am I actually allowed to pick, and how much freedom do I really have there?
Here’s the deal: besides just selling pre-made goods, I’d love to be able to make my own custom greeting cards, invitations, hair bows, and things like that, then sell them right there in my own shop. Is that legally doable under one setup?

Hey there, Slavonka 🙂
I’m heading out to Des Moines this September to be a bridesmaid. I really need some help—can anyone recommend a good hairstylist and a makeup artist? Honestly, if there’s a solid salon that does both 2-in-1, that would be absolutely perfect! Thanks so much
