Legal Question in Business Law in Louisiana
Business Licenses
I would like to start doing some small jobs like lawncare and house cleaning. Does this require a business license? Does it depend on the amount of business I get? If so, what are the ''laws'' on this issue? At exactly what point would I need to get one?

Re: Business Licenses
Most cities are going to require you to get an occupational license, so I suggest you go to city hall to ask about this. If you're going to have employees and a payroll, you need to get a Taxpayers Identification Number (TIN) from the IRS and apply for a withholding number from the La. Dept. of Revenue. If you're going to sell anything, you'll need to register for a sales tax number from the La. Dept. of Revenue. You should get these when you begin your business.
