Getting Started Selling Promo • Tax ID: Set up your business with the state and get a Tax ID. • State or Province Resale Certificate: You will need to provide this to every supplier that you order from for the 1st time. • Sales Tax: Since you are reselling products purchased from suppliers, you don’t pay tax, but you must collect sales tax when applicable and selling to your customer. Most states require you to pay the sales taxes that you collect every quarter, be sure to visit your state comptroller’s website or speak with a tax expert for additional details. You will need a Tax ID as well as a State or Province Resale Certificate Being verified as a promotional products distributor allows you full access to the industry and everything it has to offer. Verification is like your professional stamp of approval, proving to industry suppliers that you are an established distributor with proper industry knowledge and business practices. Why receive Distributor Verification with SAGE? We need a total of two or more qualifiers in order to verify your business as a promotional products distributor.** What are the qualifications for verification? If your company name indicates that you provide services related to the promotional products industry, and you have a state or province certification verifying your registered company name, your name and certification can be used as one of the two required qualifiers for distributor verification. Is your company name promotional and registered with your state or province? This refers to a promotional website or an active promotional social media page that promotes and sells products or services related to the promotional products industry. Do you have a promotional website or social media page? This includes a promotional industry group membership or affiliation. Are you a member of a regional promotional products association? If so, which one? This includes a proof of purchase indicated via an invoice from a promotional product supplier. Can you provide a minimum of one invoice? This includes proof of industry experience, reference letters, reference inquiry, industry referrals, etc. Have you worked for another distributor? Do you have an email from another distributor or supplier vouching for you? Tell us your story or additional information you would like to provide for verification.
