The place I get my wholesale stuffing from is Monterey Mills Fabric Outlet. They sell the stuffing as a side business, their main business is fake fur fabrics at wholesale cost, yet they do have a small retail store on premises too, which features the fabrics. However they just last year expanded into making paint rollers with the fiberfill stuffing. One business, wholesale broadened to retail in their structure, three different product lines, one totally unrelated seemingly to the other two. The business is still under one name though.
I have searched for HOURS on the internet and there seems to be a lot of conflicting information online, so I'm starting this thread, hoping to get some definitive answers. I understand nothing is more definitive than an attorney, but I have also seen supposed attorneys online who offer different opinions. So I'm hoping for some real world experienced people.
I plan to apply for a business license under sole proprietorship. I will be online only and basically retail. I plan to have multiple websites for different niches. Someone will recommend LLC, but just to let you know, I'm not interested in that right now. Okay, so for example, one of my sites is hardwaretools.com, and another is comicbooks.com. Not really my sites. I would hate to go to a comic books supplier and give them a business license that says hardware tools, or vice versa. These people might not want to sell to me.
So I'm thinking of something generic like BMG PRODUCTS. This way I can basically go to any supplier. On my website hardwaretools.com, I would disclose that it's a division of BMG Products. I would also disclose to my customers that they will be billed through BMG Products.
Does that work?
