I am looking to start a t-shirt line and im not sure if I need a Business license or what? Im going to hire a graphic designer to put my ideas on paper, and a company to print the shirts. But how do I trademark the name, Do I need a license, and if so how do I get one? Also does anyone know graphic designers who do jobs like this. Also I am in California btw. And if I buy shirts whole sale where do I get them from? can they be resold after customized, how do i get personnel labels made for clothes, and do I need a license for packaging? I pretty much want to create shirts and sale them on my own custom website (do I need license for that? ) and put them in local stores.
