It's really not as difficult as it seems just some effort that will seem like nothing compared to actually running your own business.\n\n1. You will need to register your business "DBA" at the County Clerk\n2. The city your business will be located in will need you to register for tax purposes this is the BUSINESS LICENSE\n(many small businesses have the city taxes waived for the first 3 years to help with development)\n3. Get a business Bank account.\n4. get your resale license (http://www.boe.ca.gov/)\n\nThere are some serious things you need to consider and doing some research will help you organize your business and have less headache. Make sure once you've done some research on what type of business you'll be starting (sole proprietor, partnership, LLC, corporation etc) you follow the correct order of steps to acquire your status as business. It will keep you from running around in circles and it will save you from potential penalties and or delays.\n\nWhen I started my first business I used went to Boarders and picked up a book by nolo press "how to open up a California business in 24 hrs" http://nolo.com/resource.cfm/catID/9FA25870-14F1-4657-9778F19FB41FB93D/111/228/\nThere are many books that are specific to steps required to open it in CA just do some research it will make this seem less daunting.\nGood Luck

I don't think you need license/permit in most US states....but I'm not certain.\n\nTry these sites.....they are certainly interesting if not helpful ;\n\nhttp://www.goldmaps.com\n\nhttp://www.geocities.com/nationaltreasuresonline/Gold.html

Yes, it is required. You can get them free from the California Labor department. They need to be posted in employee breakrooms, and public places.

Depending on your state.  Most require nothing.  I cant say for sure though that all are that way.  Check out your states Secretary of State website, and they can provide you with more information.  Example of a search would be California Secretary of State, which is in this case http://www.ss.ca.gov\n\nIt would still be a good idea to set up a small corp, such as an LLC to offer you financial protection.  Say for example your art work gives someone a paper cut and it gets infected and they die, your personal assets would be protected if you have set up a corp properly.  Its not expensive to do (maybe $100-200) if you get a good book and do all the filings with your state yourself.\n\nGood luck on your new company!!!\n\nEdit:  A business licence has nothing to do with filing or dealing with taxes... Unless of course you open a corp and have to pay corp taxes (LLC's taxes in California are $800 a year).  You would just claim the income on your personal taxes under the MISC INCOME portion.  If you have a Corp you will get a K-1 from that corp with your earnings.

You need status to obtain a working permit.  Call INS, they would give you better details.

If your talking about a license from the state, then you can go to most any contractor license training schools. Landscaping is one of the hardest to get, you have to know plumbing, contruction, safety, and the plant stuff. It's as hard to get as a GC. Good luck!

Self employemnt just means you work for yourself-- it can be cleaning homes, lawyers, consult, fix computers or sell tamales to friends. Get a business license from the city you operate in.  If have employees, then need to get workers compensagion insurance plus IRS tax ID number plus will need to pay employee taxes.  ALL  income is taxable when self employed- but get a good tax preparer so you get ALL deductions.

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.

nope, as an owner you can build anything you want to with a permit of course, as long as it is built to code.

What type of business license are you referring to ?\n\nTo license yourself as a business professional or a license for your company?\n\nAny and all licenses I have obtained for use as a business professional are good throughout the entire state.\nThis also had applied for all licenses I had gotten for past businesses I owned, they also applied to the entire state.\n\nNot sure I was any help.

1) Yes, visit your local City and County office to get your business license. You might not be required to get both, but in my City a home business must have both.  Also talk to the zoning director of your city or county to make sure your home occupation will comply with the zoning regulations.\n\n2) After you have done all the necessary paperwork and know that you are ready for business.\n\n3) I wouldn't necessarily worry about this unless you had just an unique name ~ it costs too much to worry about for a one person company.\n\n4) You will still file your taxes the same. Business income and expense will be included in your 1040 form.  However, if you become a larger company, the forms necessary will change.  Visit www.irs.gov for more information on necessary forms and tax laws for businesses.\n\nGood Luck!

You'll probably need the business license, too, depending on what you need to show proof of ownship for.

Hello,\n\nMy employer uses Independent Contractors to work on some of our contracts (we also refer to Independent Contractors or 1099s). When we'd like to bring someone on as an IC, I issue a formal agreement between my company and the IC which outlines the relationship of the parties and the rights that each has.\n\nDue to IRS regulations, we have to be very careful to distinguish between an employee and an independent contractor. Were you issued an agreement? If so, that should outline each parties obligations to the other. If you can provide a bit more information as to a possible predicament you may be in, I might be able to help a bit more.

No the construction drawings do not have to be certified by the state but the building permit has. The state has to review the drawings that your architect or civil engineer provides them with (Stamped with a profesional license or P.E.) and approve the drawings. Then your contractor or engineer gets the responsibility for building what has been approved according to the building codes of your state and city.
