Q: Before I open a fencing contractor, what paperwork may I need?
A: Hi Alexa, this is the list that goes with a fencing contractor. Nothing here is a guess: it is the paperwork a business like yours commonly meets, and we sort out which pieces are yours.
1. Business license: A business license for a fence company MAY ask which materials you install, how many crews and trucks you run, and whether you sell materials as well as labor. 2. Sales tax permit: A sales tax permit MAY be needed because fencing materials are taxable goods, and whether tax applies to the installation often depends on how the contract is written. 3. Contractor license: Installing fences for pay may require a contractor license once jobs exceed a certain size. 4. Underground utility marking: Digging post holes may require calling for marks showing buried lines before work begins. 5. Surety bond: A bond may be required to protect customers if a job is not completed. 6. Proof of liability insurance: Coverage for property damage and injuries on the job is commonly asked for, along with workers' coverage. 7. Employer registration: A team means MORE forms: an employer ID, payroll registration and proof of workers' compensation coverage may be asked for. 8. Company papers: Depending on how you want to own and name the business, an LLC, a DBA or a tax ID number may come next; we prepare those too.
