What kind of license or permits do you need for power washing houses?

Question

My husband wants to start power washing houses, decks, etc. as a part-time job. Does anyone know what kind of permits or license he would need?

Answer 1

You need several things to start this business. First go to the city hall where you plan to open the business and apply for a business license, usually under $75, next go to a bank of your choice and open a business checking account, the bank will explain what needs to be done and last look in the Yellow Pages for a insurance agent that rights small business policies and get a liability policy to protect you guys if your husband damages someone's property accidentally. It's really very simple. You should pick a name before you proceed as you will be asked for this in all of the above items.
