Question: how can i start home based travel agent business in Edmonton.ca?

Answer: I'm a CTA with my company and we're global. I'm with Traverus Travel and I couldn't be more pleased. The deep discounts and high commissions alone are worth it, not even counting the extra income. Check out my portal and feel free to contact me if it sounds like something you're interested in:

Question: Is a business license the same as a reseller's license? if not, what is the difference?

I live in California and want to open a small, Home Based Business that resells items at festivals and fairs but mostly online (eBay). I want to do it right so I don't run into problems later, but really not sure where to start. Do I have to charge a sales tax for online purchases? my partner thinks I don't have to. If we decide to sell packaged food items, do I need any special license for that too? Any info from those already in business would be greatly appreciated!
If we decide to add packaged foods later, it'll be on the theme of organic baby items (baby food jars, teething biscuits, formula, etc) that are made by other companies such as Gerber and such.
A bit more info: Our theme will be organic, earth friendly or harder to find baby items: such as clothing, shoes, cloth diapers, cloth wipes, blankets, toys, etc.

Answer: A business license and a reseller's license (seller's permit) are different. Below is a sight offered by the state of CA for info regarding small businesses.
In general, if you sell tangible personal property in CA, you will owe sales tax on the items you deliver to CA. However, the sale of cold food items that are not eaten on the seller's premises are exempt from sales tax, so if all you are selling is food, you will not need a seller's permit.
You will need a permit for the other items. You are required to charge tax to the items you ship to CA addresses.
There is a link to the Board of Equalization, which is the organization that issues seller's permits in CA.
