Over the past two-hundred years, the Artisan's Union has been the largest and most influential Merchant Fraternity in Wilderland. Without going over the entire History of the Artisan's Union Licensing (How to Get a Shop), it should be known that the AU, based in Laketown, serves as the organizing and regulatory body for commerce for the settlements of Wilderland. This document, then, is an overview of the Licensing requirements for Freemen of the Wilderland to obtain the blessing of the AU and of their respective settlement's Master. 

Also, please be aware that all merchants licensed by the Artisan Union are bound by the AU Member Code of ConductArtisan's Union Licensing (How to Get a Shop). 

Please be aware that staff reserve the right to change, alter, and modify these requirements at any time.

...

Only merchants need to be licensed by the Artisan Union. Merchants are defined by the Artisan Union as an individuals bringing in more than 1,000 cp per IG Year in total sales. Sales among individuals who are not making sales greater than that amount are unregulated. 

How to Apply

Interested parties are welcome to apply for a license through their local Litigant (who is authorized to provide negotiated rates, terms, and loans to individuals) or directly through the Artisan Union (support ticket to staff). 

Along with a license often comes a Loan. Loans have a common term of 120% with a 3 year term.

As always, heirs or seconds to a license MUST be declared publicly before the death of the owner of the loan or license. Debts pass on to the next owner. 

Levels of License 

Peddling License 

Cost: 100cps Per Year

Summary: You make more than 1,000cps an IG year through person-to-person sales, and are required to have some fashion of license. This does not grant you a shop, stall, or other rights. 

Lowest cost license. Allows basic selling of items between individuals (PC to PC) that are not conducting business as employees of another business under licensure. Licensed peddlers may only sell items within their area of licensure. Peddlers are not able to register exclusive products or designs.

Peddlers are not considered full AU members, and thus do not have access to the Union library or other resources available to Union members. Peddlers may join the Workman’s Hall or the Friends of Ongull as appropriate for further support.

 The AU tends to overlook the haphazard random sale of single items between individuals, a practice difficult if not impossible to corral or correct. However, once it becomes obvious that a person is selling in bulk to the point of being a certifiable merchant, they will be pressed to obtain a peddler’s license or stand against the law.

 The tipping point in being considered a “merchant” is defined as a person more than 1,000 cp per IC year in person to person transactionsselling, which is good for coin. Bartering, which is good for good, is not at this time regulated by the Artisan Union. Should such a transaction of good for good be noted by the Artisan Union as being excessive, or very profitable, they might want a cut - whether by way of a fine or by way of someone greasing someone's wheels. Officers of the Artisan Union are not unknown to look the other way when it is in the favor of their purse.

How to Apply

Interested parties are welcome to apply for a license through their local Litigant (who is authorized to provide negotiated rates, terms, and loans to individuals) or directly through the Artisan Union (support ticket to staff).

As always, heirs or seconds to a license MUST be declared publicly, as in by way of City Hall or a document written up by a Litigant, before the death of the owner of the loan or license. Debts pass on to the next owner.

Any citizen licensed or otherwise is free to sell items to licensed shops that purchase raw or finished goods (ie - NPC buyers), including pawn shops and the charity shops of social organizations, as long as the items in question are legal to own and are the sellers legal property and not in legal dispute or lien to a third party.

 Still, it is a position that allows one freedom to build business contacts, increase their skill, and save the overhead as housing and food is provided for them and other employees. In trade, the manager does not have total control over the shop’s earnings or other employees, but it’s a comfortable enough position with some mitigated risk.

Managers are allowed to register exclusive products, arrange business contracts and dealings for their employer, and to have access to the Union’s library.

Freeman's License

Low Tier (Stall Cost): 31,000 cp (300 100 cp Sales / Month)

Summary: You get a shop and a clan, plus five rooms. You are the be all and end all. Women want you, men want to be you. Please be aware that the AU does not often permit dozens of the same types of shop in a settlement, and your application may be denied to prevent market saturation. 

Rooms Included: Frontroom, Backroom, Storage Room, Bunkroom, Management Office

Most expensive and prestigious option. License and rental of a proper store and shop front. This is the most limited option, as the boundaries and size of Laketown is rather defined. Further, the Union does not, as policy, grant many directly competing Freeman’s licenses, instead, people pick particular niches and crafting specializations to register exclusive products or designs to bring something unique to the trading scene and Market.  

 A Freeman’s license also requires a demonstration of proper skill level to obtain a license. The requirements for level skill will vary from license area to license area. A physician or armorsmith wishing to obtain a Freeman’s license certainly requires greater demonstrated skill than a butcher as ineptitude by the former could have deadly consequence.
