Q: I install septic systems which includes tank and leechfields... Also do grading or dirtwork.. It takes 2 days to complete the job... Its roughly $10,000 per job. Work gets certified by an engineer.
A: Sounds like a good business. Here is how to get it licensed. You can get it right here: order online, and we find the correct application(s), prepare them and file them for you.
Code and design are not licensed trades, but the business still needs a license to operate, even from a laptop at the kitchen table.
The good news is that the business license itself can be free, as explained below.
🎁 How to get your business license free
Pick two or more items and the shopping cart deducts $100 automatically, no coupon and no phone call needed. That discount equals the business license service, so you get a free business license with your order.
We locate the correct application, fill it out and file it. When a home occupation permit or an extra license from another level of govt is required, it is part of the one fee, not an extra charge. The certificate is sent to you by regular mail.
For an LLC, corporation or tax ID, we file the documents and obtain the certificate or number for you.
Not included: the govt’s own annual business license tax. It is usually a flat $10 to $50 a year, though some businesses pay more. Depending on the govt, you may mail a check with the application or pay it at the end of the year.
Tip: Open a separate business bank account. It keeps the taxes simple and makes the LLC protection stronger.
😄 Have you tried turning your business off and on again? Better: get the license first.
