Answer 1

Every business requires some type of legal guidelines to be a legalized business operating in the state. Try searching on your local county website to see what information it has on small businesses. The county clerk's office is where you will need to go to get your business listed; however, to will need to contact your state or local government office for specific requirements for the type of small business. But definitely start with your county government website and someone there should be able to point you in the right direction. Good Luck.
