Fictitious name/business name registration would suffice. Businesses, even the smallest home-based operations, are required to register with either their city or county. Check with your city or county office the procedures in filing for business registration.\n\nLicenses are for specific businesses (e.g. restaurant, daycare) and marketing businesses are not often asked to apply for licenses. But to be sure, contact your county and ask for the requirements. On the Web, you can start by going to your Secretary of State website, which often have the information on how to start a business in your area.\n\nGenerally, businesses need an Employer Identification Number (EIN) or federal tax identification number. The EIN is used to identify a business entity such as a corporation, LLC, or partnership. Sole proprietorships that need to pay federal excise of employment taxes are required to get an EIN. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) web site at http://www.irs.ustreas.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=98350,00.html contains all the information you need about EIN and how to apply for an EIN electronically.\n\nA business that sells any tangible item is required to get a sales and use tax license. Sales and use tax that applies to the retail purchase, retail site, rental, storage, use or consumption of tangible personal property and certain services vary between states. Check with your state Comptroller office for the requirements and procedures in getting a sales tax number.\n\nAnother thing to consider is zoning permit, especially for home-based business. This is especially important if clients will be going to your home. While many home based entrepreneurs get away with not having to file zoning permits, the litmus test is often the neighbors. If a neighbor complains, then that's when the zoning board typically steps in.

It depends on what state you are in. Go to the Secretary of State website or your official state website -- they often have information on how to start a business and the permits and licenses required. Look up the department that issues permits and licenses and contact them.\n\nMost likely you will need:\n\n- zoning approval (for your signs, etc.)\n- liquors license\n- business name registration\n- fire department permit\n- building and contractors permit\n- public health operating license (as you will serve liquor)\n- sellers permit

Go to your local government offices and ask how you would obtain a business license. There is probably a department of business licensing or a department of professional and trade services... in my area its handled by the office of permits. And if all else fails there is always an office, kiosk, or a phone number for general information. Also the directory from the local phone company will list various departments within the local govt. And sometimes they are listed by topic, (e.g. Business licensing).

You may want to check with your city's business license department.  Where I presently live, any home based business is required to have a city issued business license.  But, where I used to live, certain businesses (i.e. service businesses with no client visitation) were exempt.

Hi\n\nYou don't have to register a business at all.\n\nHowever:\n\n- if you want to operate the business under a business name (other than the name of you and your brother), you will most likely need to register the business name\n\n- you do not need an ABN but if you make a turnover of over $50K you will need to register for GST, for which you will need an ABN. If you register for GST you will also be able to claim GST credits back for the equipment/materials you purchase for your business\n\n- an ABN registration may also be useful for purchasing items at discounted prices\n\n- some business will not deal with you unless you are able to provide an ABN\n\n- There may be tax savings in operating as a corporation (a Pty Ltd company, for which you will need an ABN, an ACN and various set up documents). For this you will most likely need to talk to an accountant.\n\nI think you should read this:\nhttp://www.business.gov.au/Business+Entry+Point/Business+Topics/Registration+and+licences/\n\nI hope this helps

you should not be collecting taxes without the proper license from the sales tax bureau in the state you are operating in. they would have all the forms and information you need to collect the right taxes. generally if you are selling out of state and don't have a physical presence in the state of the buyer, then you would not collect sales tax on the item.

well first you have to have a business licence, and a store set up, then you have to have a line of credit, create accounts with vendors, and then you can order from each vendor what you need for the store.  Most vendors only sell in bulk.

That all depends on what you are doing.... Putting in a new fridge, no.  Replacing the stove, no.  Fixing a hole in a wall, no.  Now, are you going to replace wires in the home or unit, yes.  Most trade jobs that require an licensed expert and the answer is yes.  Just look at the liabilities of what appears to be a simple thing of hooking up a new service to a hot tub and then something going terribly wrong and that should open your eyes to having the proper license.  Listen to those that say you do not need one at all and you may get by until something happens. Just call your local building inspector what you are requested to do a job that you think may need license and they will be able to tell you.

It depends on where you are located, if you are going to lease your own office or will you simply work from home, and the requirements of your city/county business offices.\n\nIf you are in the Los Angeles area, for example, you will be required to get the following  if you are starting a janitorial business (if it applies to your situation):\n\nBusiness License (Business Tax Certificate)\nBurglar Alarm Permit\nFire Department Permit - Fire Protection\nLand Use Permit\nZoning Approval\nFictitious Name Filing (DBA)\nAir Tanks Permit\nCorporation, Company or Partnership Filings (if considering)\nIndustrial Activities Storm Water General Permit\nSales & Use Permit (Seller's Permit)\nState EPA Identification Number\n\nThe point is that the licenses you need may be as simple or as complicated depending on the requirements of your city/county. Call them up or visit them and ask them the requirements you need to start a janitorial company.

Most areas require professional licensing.  Once that is accomplished, you should have no trouble drumming up business with a relatively modest advertising budget, given the immense popularity of this therapy.  You might even want to consider a "traveling service" as opposed to a traditional "office" setting; bringing your service to homes and businesses is a great way to drum up free "word-of-mouth" advertising.

You first would need to take some business courses, this will tell you all you need to know about opening this type of business, you will need to get a license, and pay through the nose.

Hi there\n\nFirstly you may not need a HMO licence.  ... visit opdm.gov.uk, search for HMO, and follow their guidelines to see if you need a licence.  My understanding is that if you have 5+ occupants and they are not in the same family, then you need a licence.  \nIf you find out that you need a HMO licence you have to go to your local authority, some will charge, some will not.  .. it would have to be a big flat to house 5+ people so you may not need the licence anyway.\n\nI hope this helps.
