Q: What licenses and permits might I need to start a mobile hair and beauty service?
A: Welcome, here is the paperwork map for your mobile hair and beauty service. Every item says MAY, because what applies depends on how the business is set up, and sorting that out is our job.

Sales tax permit: A sales tax permit MAY be needed for hair and beauty products sold to clients, while the services themselves may be taxed differently. 3. Cosmetology license: Cutting, coloring or styling hair for pay generally requires a personal cosmetology license. 4. Mobile service permit: Traveling to clients may require a separate permit or a statement of the services you provide. 5. Sanitation plan: A written routine for disinfecting tools and capes between clients may be requested. 6. Liability insurance proof: Coverage for client injuries and damage to property is commonly asked for. 7. 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.

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.
