Q: What licenses and permits might Not Sure, my planned painting company, need?
A: Hello, let us walk through what Not Sure may need, piece by piece, so nothing surprises you on opening day.
1. Business license: A business license for a painting company MAY ask whether you work on homes, businesses or both, how many crews you run, and whether contractor classifications apply. 2. Sales tax permit: A sales tax permit MAY be needed if you buy paint and charge clients for materials, since the way materials are billed can change what is taxable. 3. Contractor license: Painting jobs above a certain size may require a contractor license showing experience and passing an exam. 4. Lead-safe work certificate: Older buildings may need work done by someone trained in lead-safe practices. 5. Contractor bond: A bond that protects clients if a job goes unfinished may be requested with a contractor filing. 6. Workers compensation proof: Evidence of coverage for any painters you hire may accompany the application. 7. Company papers: A DBA, an LLC or a tax ID number MAY make sense for Not Sure, and we prepare all of these documents on this site, so everything can be ordered in one place.

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.
