Legal Question in Business Law in Maryland

Re: what do you need to start a hauling business

It depends on what you are hauling. For example, if you would be hauling hazardous materials, you probably need state and/or federal permits. Check with your county's business office to learn about licensing requirements. You should also decide whether you want to operate as a sole proprietor or set up a corporation or limited liability company. These entities protect your personal assets in case your business runs into trouble. They are not hard to set up, but you should consult with an attorney to do so.
