The paperwork map for an online consulting service

Q: What licenses and permits might I need to start an online consulting service?

A: Think of this as a trail map for your online consulting service. Not every marker applies to every traveler, so we check which ones are on your path.

1. Business license: A business license for an online consulting service MAY ask what advice you sell, how sessions are delivered by video, and whether clients ever visit your workspace.
2. Home occupation permit: A home occupation permit MAY apply to a consultant on video calls from home, usually with few limits beyond client visits, signage and employees working on site.
3. Professional credential check: Offering advice in regulated fields such as law, finance or health may require a personal license.
4. Coaching disclaimer: Certain coaching services may need clear statements that they are not professional treatment.
5. Client agreement: A written agreement describing the session scope, fees and confidentiality is often requested.
6. Data privacy statement: A short description of how video calls and client notes are protected may be asked for.
7. 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.

Our service fee stays put. A business license order that also needs a home occupation permit or another permit still carries one service fee for us. What we do not cover are the upfront annual tax or application fees the govt charges; we find those applications and fill them out.

The upside, with all five senses

Clients across the country can book you, and a tidy desk with a good microphone is all you need.

Picture it

Cecilia tests her lighting for a call as Clarity Corner Consulting and watches her permit confirmation pop up.

A cautionary example

If a client says your advice caused a loss and sues, an LLC may keep the claim away from your home and savings.

Codes and counts

Business code (NAICS): 541618 (Other Management Consulting Services). This page lists 7 paperwork items for an online consulting service, and each one is marked as something you MAY need, since we confirm which apply.

Tip: Test your audio and recording backup before each call.

Online consulting means you can give brilliant advice in slippers.

Ready when you are: start your order and we will find out what applies to your online consulting service, fill out the applications and keep the paperwork moving.

   

You can choose to be a(n) online consultation :

    After you decide and select your business entity, you need licensing.



Albuquerque Business Tax Registration ( Business License)
All businesses including home, online or mobile BUSINESS need a BUSINESS license because they are BUSINESSES.



A(n) online consultation business using a DBA Doing Business As Trade Name in Bernalillo County , i.e., starting businesses using a company name other than the legal (given name) owner's name, need a(n) DBA Doing Business As Trade Name Registration. ย  For example, you start a(n) online consultation business and you call it "Ultra online consultation Co". You will need to file a trade firm name for it.

Also, keep in mind that in NM though, a business license and a DBA is necessary for most businesses but if your business sells any taxable items, you will need a sales tax ID number. ย (A.K.A state id, wholesale, resale, reseller certificate, about $39 for most states).
Seller's Permit



Note: All businesses need a federal tax ID number except sole proprietors that are not employers and are not independent contractors.
An independent contractor is a self employed business person that receives more than $600 per year from anyone of his or her clients.
IRS rule: The client must issue a 1099 form to the independent contractor and the independent contractor must have a federal tax ID. However, even sole owners may obtain a federal ID and use it as a business tax ID instead of using their own social security number as a business tax ID number.
However, all other licenses that apply to sole proprietors as discussed here are requited regardless of getting a federal tax ID number.


If you are thinking of hiring help, you will need a state employer ID and an IRS number employer ID. I.e., a NM Federal Tax Id Number ($29) ย and a(n) NM ย State Employer Tax Numberย ย 


Instead of filing a fictitious business name DBA Filing (about $49 plus state and legal newspaper publication fees) in Albuquerque,ย Incorporate in NM ย orย form a(n) NM LLC
.ย 

If you will set up a corporation or form an LLC, you will not have to file a DBA (Doing Business As) unless your corproration or LLC name will be different that the busienss name you will trade under. Businesses that use the full legal name of the owner as a business name do not need to register an assumed business name. So, for example, your name is "John X Doe" and you use that as a business name.
 



If you do form an Other llc or incorporate (about $49 plus state fees for most states) your online consultation business instead of just filing a fictitious business name (dba), it will help you avoid legal and financial personal liability arising out of business transactions and you will not have to register the Albuquerque business name. Instead of filing a Bernalillo County fictitious business name (our service fee includes dba business name filing and legal paper publication) you can elect to incorporate in NM or form an NM LLC (starts @ $49 plus state fee for most states & includes bylaws and LLC operating agreement)..
