I may be interested in selling my soap WAY in the future. I know I have many batches (and mistakes) to make before I am ready to do that. I really don't want anyone to think I am another one of these, I made soap for two weeks, I think I'm ready to sell, type of people. I am not. I want to do it the right way, if at all.
If anyone is willing to share their knowledge, or even point out a resource for me, I would appreciate it so much. I have browsed this business forum but haven't found answers to my exact questions.
I live in Minnesota -
Do you need a tax id to sell your soap online or at a farmer's market or craft show? (on your own website, or on etsy, or the like)
or what do you need, besides insurance?
Do you need a tax id to buy liability insurance?
Is registering your business the same as getting a tax id number?
I feel like there is so much to do and to learn, I don't even know if this is something that I want to do yet, I just want to get an idea of what is involved because if I did it I would want to do it all legally and safely.
