Q: What licenses and permits might I need to start a small business?
A: Good to meet you, this is the list that goes with a small business. 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 home-based small business MAY ask for a plain description of what you do, whether you serve customers at home and what you sell. 2. Home occupation permit: A home occupation permit MAY look at customer visits, deliveries, stored stock, noise, employees on site and a signed statement that your work stays within the limits set for homes. 3. Sales tax permit: A sales tax permit MAY apply if you sell any goods, since product sales are generally taxable while pure services often are not. 4. Industry permit: Some trades and professions need their own permit or license beyond the basic registration, depending on the work. 5. Landlord clearance statement: A signed note from a landlord or homeowners group allowing a home-based business may be asked for. 6. Proof of insurance: A certificate showing liability coverage may be requested for certain activities. 7. 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.
A home-based business is the ultimate commute: from the coffee pot to the desk in about fifteen footsteps, with a quiet kitchen for inspiration.
