Do you need an LLC to be a vendor?

No, you do not always need an LLC to become a vendor. Many vendors operate as sole proprietors, especially when they are first starting.

You may still need a seller’s permit, business license, health permit, insurance, or other permits depending on what you sell and where the event is held. Forming an LLC is a separate business decision and does not replace permits or licenses required by your city, county, or state.
