Im starting an out of the home consulting business for Immigration. I am actually certified. However........

Question

Do I need to get a business license from Town Hall? I will be straight with the IRS and bookkeeping. Do I need a business license t o be pulled? Even if I am okay with IRS?

Answer 1

It depends on your state and local business licensing laws.  In general (because every government leaves no stone unturned in collecting money) you probably will need state and/or local licenses.

Contact both the Town Hall and the office of the Secretary of State (most likely title) to get accurate information.

Hope this helps
