Q: I run a youth program that offers remote mentoring and weekly case management. Documentation and budgeting are completed weekly, at home.
A: Hi Frances,Mentoring young people carries more trust than most services, and the paperwork reflects that. You MAY need a business license for the program, a home occupation permit since documentation is done from home, and, depending on the services, background checks and insurance. Case management can be treated differently from mentoring, with some activities calling for specific credentials, and a nonprofit setup changes the tax picture. A sales tax permit generally is not needed for pure services. We find out which of these apply to All Of Us Collective and fill out the applications. Here is the full map, item by item.
1. Business license: A business license for a mentoring service MAY ask what you teach or guide, whether sessions are one-on-one or in groups, and whether you meet in person or online. 2. Home occupation permit: A home occupation permit MAY apply to sessions held at home, with limits on client visits, parking and the number of people at a time. 3. Youth work screening: Working with minors may require background checks and clearance before you start. 4. Professional credential rules: Offering counseling or therapy under the label of mentoring may require a professional license. 5. Background check: A criminal background check, and sometimes fingerprints, may be requested if you mentor young people. 6. Program description: A written description of your mentoring approach, session length and goals may be asked for. 7. Employer registration: A team means MORE forms: an employer ID, payroll registration and proof of workers' compensation coverage may be asked for. 8. Company papers: A DBA, an LLC or a tax ID number MAY make sense for All Of Us Collective, and we prepare all of these documents on this site, so everything can be ordered in one place.
Remote sessions let you reach people anywhere, and word of mouth from a success story brings the next client.

Q: Which licenses and permits should I expect for a mentoring service?
A: Let us walk through what your mentoring service may need, piece by piece, so nothing surprises you on opening day. It also lists the personal license or trade license of the person doing the work, because a business license alone does not cover that.

You can start selling the moment the paperwork is approved, and the price is entirely yours: you decide your own markup, and tax is added at the register.
The set to start with is a business license, a sales tax permit, a resale certificate for your wholesalers, a DBA for the boutique name and, if your living room is the showroom, a home occupation permit. Several partners together are best placed in an LLC.
If you order a business license and it turns out you also need another one, such as a home occupation permit, we obtain both for the service fee of the business license. The govt's annual tax and application fees are separate and not included; we find the applications and fill them out for you.
The first step is the company: form an LLC, then get the business license and the EIN. A general contractor license MAY be required for construction work, so we confirm whether your jobs are large enough to need it.
Your consulting is a separate line. Helping clients pick technology usually needs only the business license, but clinical services would need a professional license, so keep them apart. A seller's permit is needed if you resell equipment.
