Selling under your own name?
A permit registers you for sales tax; it does not put anything between your business and your personal assets. If that matters to you, forming an LLC in Montana costs $35 in state fees plus our $100.
Montana questions
Nothing, because there is no permit to buy. Montana has no sales tax, so there is no reseller permit to obtain.
Usually not. A reseller permit registers you with the Montana revenue department to collect and remit sales tax and to buy inventory for resale without paying tax on it. A business license is a separate permission to operate, often issued by a city or county. A few states fold both into one application; most do not.
You register where you have nexus, which is a tax question about where your business has enough presence or sales to owe the state something. Physical presence in Montana creates it; so can crossing a sales threshold from out of state. That is a question for your accountant, not for us. Most sellers start with their home state and add others as they grow.
