Licenses and permits for a resume writing service
Q: What licenses and permits might I need to start a resume writing service?
A: This is the list that goes with a resume writing service. It is the paperwork a business like yours commonly meets, and we sort out which pieces are yours.
1. Business license: A business license for a resume writing service MAY ask how you work with clients, such as online or in person, what documents you prepare and whether you offer coaching.
2. Home occupation permit: A home occupation permit MAY apply for writing from a spare room, usually with limits on client visits, signs, deliveries and staff working at the house.
3. Client confidentiality statement: A sample promise to keep personal and career details private may be requested.
4. Service agreement template: A sample agreement listing drafts, revisions and turnaround may be asked for.
5. Employer registration: Hiring changes the list: an employer account, payroll tax setup and workers' compensation insurance MAY join the pile before the first paycheck.
6. Company papers: Name registration, LLC formation and a tax ID number are the three companions most owners add; we prepare each of them on this site.
Need two licenses? Pay our service fee once. Order the business license and, if a home occupation permit or another license is also required, we obtain both under that single service fee. The govt's own annual tax and application fees are separate and are not included; finding and filling out the applications is what we do.
Why it is worth the paperwork
Helping people land jobs is rewarding, with the quiet click of keys and the thrill of a client who writes back with big news.
Picture it
Rupert rewrote his own resume ten times, launched Bright Lantern Resumes and printed the permit on his best paper.
A cautionary example
A client's private data leaks from your files and a claim follows, and an LLC keeps it from your savings.
