No.  Anyone who has a business with an employee can purchase it.

It's based on your payrolls.  You'll need to contact the agent that provides your general liability, auto liability, and inland marine (cargo) coverage for a workers comp quote.

Depending on where you live, you should be able to go to your state's workers' compensation commission website.  There also may be notice posting requirements you should downloand and post (like in a break room or side office).\n\nIn AR, if you have more than 2 employees, you have to have WC insurance. (Certain fields of employment may require WC insurance with only 1 employee!)  And it can be a class D felony for the failure to do so.

Well, Im a painting contractor.  I am licensed.  It does matter what kind of license you get.  You dont need a permit, but you need a license.  I am a master at booking work.  I learned soo fast.  But, you know what?  My license helped me when my business was crippled.  I was involved in a motorcycle accident and I couldnt do much.  Then, I quickly got my license and I started getting work.  You have to fill out for a "Home Improvement" License.  Dont get the ones that say that you are a painter.  Its like a certificate that shows that you know how to paint.  Those come from city hall, and costs like 5 buxx.  You need to pay like 200-300 depending on the size of your company.  Email me for the rest because it will help you with work.  I dont want to disclose important secrets on here.  Fudope_7@yahoo.com.  Just rate me a perfect 5 stars before you email me....

You can get a business license from the local government office of your area. However before you apply you have to get registered with the IRS to get a tax number as you will need this number in getting a business license.

No business license is necessary.  If you're a sole proprietor you simply complete Schedule C, and perhaps Schedule SE as well.\n\ngood luck

Every state has specific rules and regulations. I currently hold a Group 1 accident/health/life/hmo license and general lines agent license for property/casualty for the state of Texas. Supplemental is covered under my group 1 and fire is covered under my p&c license. Good luck ! ! !\n\nTiff

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 need to be licensed by the Department of Insurance of each State in which you wish to sell insurance. The process of becoming licensed involves taking an approved pre-licensing course, a state exam, an application process to and through the State Department of Insurance, and a very detailed background investigation. \n\nThe website of your State Department of Insurance is likely to have a section devoted to insurance "producer" licensing, and that will be your best starting point.\n\nNote that you must also be "appointed" by the insurer(s) whose insurance you wish to sell.  Proper state licensure will be a prerequisite to appointment

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.

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.

If you have employee's you need workers compensation insurance, if not jail, fines, etc. You don't need workers compensation on yourself, although it's something to consider. Rates will vary among companies and the State also writes coverage, rates are based on occupation, clerical rates are in the area of 1-2% of wages, while roofers are more like 30% of wages.

Go to your county courthouse and ask (a) if a license is required for your type of business as some occupations do not require a license; and (b) what do you need to get a license. You did not specify your business so we cannot really provide you with any other detail.\n\nOnline, you can go to your Secretary of State website (search for [name of your state] Secretary of State) and look for the link on how to do business in the state. Usually that page will contain info or link to instructions on how to get a business license.

Go to the website for your state insurance board.  They will have all the necessary forms and requirements.  Almost every state requires a number of licenses to sell insurance.

actually you do not have to be licensed in each state.  and it actually differs from city to city.  for example i live in fairfield/suisun.  they are so close they are practically the same city.  however you have to be nationally certified to work as a massage therapist in fairfield, but all you have to do to work as a massage therapist in suisun is go down to city hall and buy a business license.
