I am looking to start an online retail business. I live in Maryland but I will not have a physical store, it will all be handled online. Maryland has a sales tax, but I know other states do not have sales taxes. Can I start the business in a tax free state although I live in Maryland?

Possibly. However, if you start your business in Maryland, you will only be required to collect sales tax on sales to customers in Maryland. Most shopping cart systems can take care of this for you. If you form your LLC or corporation in another state, you may still be required to register it as a Foreign corporation in Maryland if you meet the requirements of conducting business in Maryland.

The Maryland website for business entity registration is: http://www.sec.state.ma.us/COR/coridx.htm.

Best regards,

Molly Donaldson

Few steps you need to follow:

 

1. Store Name, Location, and Contact Information

2. Product or Service Descriptions with Prices

3. Pictures of Products or Services

4. Ordering Process

5. Lines Carried

6. Company Background

7. Updated Information

All 7 of these items underscore one point - make it as easy as possible for your customers to make a purchase. Make ease-of-use a priority and every other aspect of your website secondary.
