how can i get a texas licence to buy wholesale flowers

yes, you do need to get a business name, and a TAX id number. Even on some wholesale companies online, they require a tax ID.so go to the County for that!

I have baught wholesale flowers from nationalflowermart.com before and they were very friendly, and helpful. They ship nationawide for free! and seem to be very reputable as I was referred to them online, and can help you out with whatever flowers you need. They carry allot of diffrent kinds. We got roses, for our wedding which lasted 8 days! They were unbeleivable. Well I hope this helps good luck!

Do u have any friends in the flower business? If so, ask them if u can get a deal through them.

I bought all my flowers for my wedding at the local craft store. I know if u r pressed for time then this wo not help. Hobby Lobby has their silk flowers on sale for half off several times a year. Right now the single stems r on half off until May 5. Bushes r half also. I used a whole bunch of bushes/garlands for my flowers. I cut them & arranged them how I wanted them.

Also other places like JoAnn is & Michaels have sale like this. I know if u have a Garden Ridge then that is an excellent place too.

Contact your local Sales Tax Office.

OR

You need to find a business name for the Tax Number. $10.00 for a business name usually. Use to be $25.00 for the Tax Permit..

The only reason you need a license is to collect the tax when the flowers are sold. Tell the wholesale house you want to pay cash.
