139781
Courses are given by Builders Associations in different parts of the Commonwealth, and some schools may offer courses. Be sure to check any organization out with the Better Business Bureau or the Mass. Board of Registration and Licensing (www.mass.gov). Either search online for builders' associations or look in the telephone book for the one in your area. You can try asking a licensed home builder how he or she got licensed. (I assume you mean a home builder; there are a lot of different builders.)

Contact the licensing agent in your county or state. They can tell you the licensing requirements. You can also check with some of the technical or community colleges in your state to see if they have classes or certification courses for becoming a general contractor, and see what they require. In many states, the only requirement is becoming licensed. Many people in this field start out as general labor for construction companies and work their way up.

city/local ordinances stating what sort of businesses can operate in the building/area you want to open your shop.  also, you may need licenses - fire marshall, safety inspector, etc.  you also need to fill out tax forms with the state.  my suggestion would be calling both state and local governments and ask tham what steps you need to take as a lot of it depends on where you live.

Looks like some states are requiring mortuary techs to have 2-year degrees, plus certification, and so won't accept vocational school credits for this field. Mass. seems to be one of these states. The good news is that there are two colleges where a high school student might be able to take classes while going to high school, like in the summer:\n\nFuneral Institute Of The Northeast\n77 University Ave\nWestwood, Massachusetts 02090\n(781)461-9080\nhttp://www.fine-ne.com/\n\nMount Ida College\n777 Dedham St\nNewton Centre, Massachusetts 02459\n(617)928-4500\nhttp://www.mountida.edu/

Builder's union is the wrong thing. Send a certified letter to the builder saying he is in violation of the contract. Contact state Dept of Consumer Affairs and call the county or city where you live and file a complaint with the contractor's licensing people. I'm not from MI, but this is what you do in my state.

Any contractor can pull a building permit (assume you need a permit rather than a "license to do work" which is normally for the contractors).  Also here is the Montgomery Count website for Permitting Services:\nhttp://permittingservices.montgomerycountymd.gov/dpstmpl.asp?url=/Main.asp\n\nHere are sources for business license information: http://www.blis.state.md.us/client/Blis.jsp\nhttps://www.dllr.state.md.us/secdocs/pq/home_imprv.cfm?board=HomeImprovement

Better Business Bureau has nothing to do with licenses and permits. Start by going to the California Business Portal operated by the Secretary of State. They have a list of requirements as to how to start a business in California http://www.ss.ca.gov/business/resources.htm\n\nThen go to CalGOLD (California Government Online to Desktops). While they do not specifically issue the licenses, their database lists all the requirements for all types of businesses run in California and where you can get the necessary permit. They even give you the address and phone numbers of the agencies you have to go to for all the requirements. You will be asked what county you want to operate and their database will show results specific to that county.\n\nI did a search for the hair salon business as well as the Hair, Nail, and Skin Care Services, and CalGOLD's database shows that the following are permits you need to get:\n\n- Building and Construction Permit: Required for all new and remodeling construction, including change of occupancy.\n- Burglar Alarm Permit\n- Business License (Business Tax Certificate) Required for all entities doing business within city/county limits.\n- Fire Department Permit - Fire Protection: All businesses subject to annual inspection of facility.\n- Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit: Required by most businesses discharging wastewater to the sewer system\n- Land Use Permit: Zone change, variance,conditional use permit\n- Zoning Approval: Permitted uses, development regulations, design review, sign permit, parking regulations.\n- Business Personal Property: Property used in the operation of a business such as machinery, equipment, trade fixtures, etc. is taxable and subject to assessment.\n- Fictitious Name Filing (DBA): Required if fictitious name is used\n- Barbering and Cosmetology License: Barbers, cosmetologists, electrologists, estheticians, manicurists, barber and cosmetologists instructors, and apprentices of the aforementioned, must be licensed.\n- Corporation, Company or Partnership Filings: If you are considering becoming a corporation, (either stock or nonprofit), a limited liability company or a partnership (limited, or limited liability), you must file with the Secretary of State's Office.\n- Occupational Safety and Health Information: Businesses with employees must prepare an Injury and Illness Prevention Plan. \n- Sales & Use Permit (Seller's Permit): All businesses selling or leasing tangible property must obtain a Seller's Permit.\n\nThis is a long list of requirements (California is not known as one of the easiest states to do business in). I suggest you go to CalGOLD and check out what you need to run your business.\n\nGood luck\nIsabel Isidro\nFor information on starting a business, visit http://www.powerhomebiz.com
