Open a Referral services

Hi,

I am opening a Sitter referral service(house,child,elderly,pet etc...) and I need to know what licenses I need in order to do so.Since it is going to be a home based business do I need to register the name etc....like if it was a actual store?

Thanks,

Re: Open a Referral services

A business is a business, whether at home or in a store-front. Check to see whether your business would be a violation of deed restrictions or restrictive covenants if you live in a subdivision.

Check with the State Comptroller to see if your business needs for a sales tax permit.

Check with your insurance agent to see what liabilities your referral service may have if you refer someone who performs a criminal act.
