Читать книгу Start & Run a Handyman Business - Sarah White - Страница 13

Almost all handyman businesses are home-based businesses. You need to make sure you are legally allowed to operate your business from your home where you live. Even though most of your work will be away from your home, you will likely have some kind of home office and workshop. Check zoning regulations before you start your business.

You also must be licensed to operate a business, or at least registered with the government. What licenses you need will vary among regions. In some areas, a locally obtained business license is all you need to get started. In others, federal and state or provincial licenses are required as well.

The cost of a business license is minimal. The penalty for operating without a license varies with the issuing local government.
