Whether or not you need a business license depends on your locality. I sell online but am not required to have a license in my county. I don’t think you necessarily need a lawyer unless you’re dealing with contracts but again, you might. Definitely get a good cpa, and keep all your receipts. I collect and pay sales tax to my state for sales to customers in my state. It’s easy and can be done on line. Main thing is to keep great records!
Good luck
