Q: What licenses and permits might Oxylusa, my planned home decorating service, need?
A: Welcome, this is the list that goes with a home decorating service. Nothing here is a guess: 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 home decorating service MAY ask whether you advise on styling, supply decor items, and what kind of homes or events you decorate. 2. Home occupation permit: A home occupation permit MAY apply for planning and storing samples at home, with limits on client visits, delivery trucks and decor stock kept in the garage. 3. Sales tax permit: A sales tax permit MAY be needed because decor items you buy and resell to clients are taxable goods, even when the styling advice is a service. 4. Design title rules: Using a professional title such as interior designer may require registration where required. 5. Client styling agreement: A sample agreement describing fees, purchases made for clients and who owns the decor may be requested. 6. Trade account proof: Copies of trade accounts with decor and furniture suppliers may be asked for. 7. Company papers: Depending on how you want to own and name the business, an LLC, a DBA or a tax ID number may come next; we prepare those too.
Holidays, moves and weddings all call for styling, so happy clients bring return projects and referrals.
