Do I need to apply for a business license?

Re: Do I need to apply for a business license?

I'm a subcontractor too. I am thinking about becoming a LLC. I think a business license will provide some protection against your family and your home. I'm not completely clear, as I am in the same boat and looking into it too.

Hello friends

But that depends on where you live. Some places may require you to apply for a city business license, a county, or a home occupation permit as well. It gets confusing.
Let's start with the basic business license. Most cities and/or counties may require that if you are starting a business you will need to first acquire a business license.
What is a business license?
By definition a business license is a legal authorization in document form issued by municipal and/or state governments and required for business operations. Don't get this confused with DBA.
So then what is a DBA?
DBA is an abbreviation for "doing business as." Certain jurisdictions may also use the terms fictitious business name, trade name or assumed name. DBA registration is necessary if your business operates under a name other than its legal name.
For a corporation, LLC, or other state registered entity, the legal name is the name on the filed articles. For all other business entities, the legal name is the personal name of the business owner or owners. Conducting business and opening a bank account under any name other than your legal business name is only possible after fulfilling your state's DBA filing requirement.
And what if you are selling items? Do most states require a state seller's permit?
If you sell, lease personal property or sell taxable services at a retail or wholesale level, you are required to obtain a Seller's Permit. If you have more than one location where sales are made, a separate license is required for each location.

Thanks to all friends

Cleaning Service business is subject to sales tax in most states unless it is exempted by the state. If you are living in the state where cleaning service is taxable then you have to obtain it. Secondly, If you are doing business other than your personal name then you are also required to register your business as dba (doing business as).

Re: Do I need to apply for a business license?

I don't think that you need a license while you are a subcontractor and your employer should have a license for that, but some state Government have rules regarding a license for subcontractor for cleaning, check out with the local authority.

Re: Do I need to apply for a business license?

Technically, yes, you should be licensed, even though a lot of people who do not work from home. The worst case is someone you reports on the implementation of the Code, the person comes and asks Are you the business, you say yes, and say that you must obtain a license or do not give you an indication, where you have x amount of time and get an inside That was my friend.
