What's it take to start a store for flashing/selling phones?

resurrecting this thread cuz I've got a couple more questions :P

Here it goes:

Insurance (which is required here) whereabouts can I shop around for this? like does anyone have a suggestion on where they got theirs online or something?

Business License & Reseller License - Its only for the county im in or is it statewide?

I can't speak for insurance because I am a home based office and not an actual retail store, as for the licenses it again depends on your state/county/city.
Here in Utah the business license is issued by the city, but generally covers the state. Although some cities here require a separate license for things like door to door sales or mobile employees. In my case I evade around that because I base my primary business (Brokering Freight) as a home based business. "Which also has a whole different tax, insurance, and license requirement on local/state and federal levels." But I have to have all of them covered.

Also if your looking at a cricket dealership I know they have certain criteria as well.
