I want to start my own business. I am getting my massage therapy license and i am looking forward to doing it from my home. I will be selling essential oils to clients and a few other items..

 Your Business Property Appraisal form does two things. It allows you to operate legally, within the confines of local law, as well as doing the essential work of keeping you current with local taxes and inspections, which is not something you want to miss out on.

A massage license is, in principle, an effective protection from police morals raids and investigations, which are still very much a thing of the present in this day and age. This is not only destructive to business, but an effective way to be chased out of a neighborhood.

To run your massage business in Texas you are going to need two licenses. One standard and one off the beaten path. One is the standard Business Property Appraisal form, and the other is a permit, of an unpredictable name, specific to your city and county, just to let you preform massages of any kind

 All business in Texas are required to assess their assets based on purchase costs, then on good faith estimates of market value, and submit them in the proper form to your assessment office. Then they must submit to an in person assessment. Fees and taxes will then be levied.

Even after the state licensing, 99% of Texas cities and counties still require licenses for massage operations, making no distincion between therapy and simple massage parlors. These lisenses are even sometimes filed under the same title as adult stores and escorts services.

-- 0- - Because you are an employer, and you essential oils, here are the licenses and tax ids you are legally required to obtain before starting your massage therapy clinic:

1. A business tax registration license

2. A DBA assumed business name

3. A state sales tax id permit

4. A federal tax id number

5. A state employer tax id number.

Not obtaining the proper licensing for a massage business in Texas or any state is dangerous at best. The mere mention of the words massage, and unlincensed in the same sentence and you will quickly become the victim of a sting operation akin to or superior of the one in The French Connection.
