Q: We are a full service moving company here to help others make their move as easy and less stressful as possible.
A: Hi Dustin,Moving day is stressful partly because strangers carry everything you own, and the permit list reflects that. A business license describes the moving service, and moving companies are commonly regulated with their own registration, a safety record for the trucks, and cargo insurance. Larger trucks may need commercial vehicle registration and driver qualifications, and your crew triggers payroll registrations and workers' compensation coverage. If you sell boxes and packing supplies, a sales tax permit also applies. Once we know which of these fit D'Brothers Moving Company, we fill out the applications and you keep your attention on customers. Here is the full map, item by item.
1. Business license: A business license for a moving company MAY ask how many trucks and crews you run, whether you pack and store goods, and the size of jobs you accept. 2. Household goods mover registration: Moving belongings for pay may require a mover registration, a cargo insurance filing and a bond. 3. Commercial driver license: Larger trucks may require a driver with a commercial license. 4. Cargo insurance certificate: Proof of coverage for customers' belongings is often required. 5. Vehicle inspection: Moving trucks may be checked for safety by appointment before approval. 6. Employer registration: Hiring changes the list: an employer account, payroll tax setup and workers' compensation insurance MAY join the pile before day one. 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.
Moving is a fresh start for customers, and the satisfying thud of a well-packed truck door closing is the sound of trust.

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.
