Am I nuts or is it normal to have to get some many licenses, I applied today for my master business license and found out that every city I want to work in also requires one so if you want to work in a large metro area that has a whole bunch of cities you have to get a license in every one. Seems to me they just do this to generate revenue for the city, I don't think they really care at all that you are conducting business they are just looking for revenue from permits & sales tax.
I am an LLC licensed with my state so I am legally allowed to do work in any city in my state without having a business license for each city (KY), and in Indiana there are 2 professions where you don't have to have a business license, Painter and anything dealing with carpet, so I am set.
In Tennessee we needed a license for the city and county where the business was located. Our service area also included some of Northern Alabama. In that state , it was required to have a license for every town you worked in. If I was asked to work in a town where I did not have a license, I would add the $20 or so into the cost of the cleaning service. Scott Warrington
Alabama sucks. I cleaned for two lesbian women in a one horse town once and the podunk municipality is STILL sending me warnings to buy a license. There might be three houses in the whole town.
Two lesbians, One horse and three houses. God there is some great comedy material there but as i am so new to this board i will leave that one alone. Mick
I don't think he really met any disrespect by his description of the situation. I know I say things frequently that are misunderstood in my meaning that is.
I have never done what they want and will never do it I work in 3 states.. do you think I pay them all ?? "" NO WAY "" Do what you want but they ate not all getting some from me ..
I shouldn't have said business licensce I should have said Contractors license and in Evansville, In the only two professions you do not have to be a licensed contractor are painting and anything to do with carpet, I used to have a remodeling business and did alot of work in Evansville and got fined big time since I wasn't a Licensed General Contractor by the State of Indiana. I had to take all the General Contractors classes and tests in Indianapolis and then renew my license every year and believe me it wasn't cheap.
Who said anything about taking offense? I just asked what it had to do with anything. So I guess this means we are going to be subjected to gay jokes here now.
Be nice !! If you don't want to be nice ? Or maybe you are just having a bad day ? This may not be the best place for you ??
