Q: A music and film promotion business: what licenses and permits come into play?
A: Welcome, good news: a music and film promotion business is a well-trodden road, and we know its signposts. Each item below MAY apply to you, and we find out which ones do.
1. Business license: A business license for a music and film promotion business MAY ask which creators you represent, what promotion you provide, and whether you host screenings or events. 2. Home occupation permit: A home occupation permit MAY apply for promotional work from home, usually with limits on client meetings, guests visiting, equipment stored and deliveries of posters or discs. 3. Event or screening permit: Hosting a public screening or listening party may call for a short-term event permit. 4. Music and film rights: Using clips and songs in promotions may require permission from the rights holders. 5. Client promotion agreement: A sample contract showing the campaign, deadlines and who owns the content may be requested. 6. Rights clearance records: Copies of permissions for music and footage used may be asked for. 7. Employer registration: Hiring changes the list: an employer account, payroll tax setup and workers' compensation insurance MAY join the pile before day one. 8. Company papers: Name registration, LLC formation and a tax ID number are the three companions most owners add; we prepare each of them on this site.

You can start selling the moment the paperwork is approved, and the price is entirely yours: you decide your own markup, and tax is added at the register.
The set to start with is a business license, a sales tax permit, a resale certificate for your wholesalers, a DBA for the boutique name and, if your living room is the showroom, a home occupation permit. Several partners together are best placed in an LLC.
If you order a business license and it turns out you also need another one, such as a home occupation permit, we obtain both for the service fee of the business license. The govt's annual tax and application fees are separate and not included; we find the applications and fill them out for you.
The first step is the company: form an LLC, then get the business license and the EIN. A general contractor license MAY be required for construction work, so we confirm whether your jobs are large enough to need it.
Your consulting is a separate line. Helping clients pick technology usually needs only the business license, but clinical services would need a professional license, so keep them apart. A seller's permit is needed if you resell equipment.
