Philadelphia has a business privilege license that you will need.You may wish to incorporate or create an LLC which is registered with the state. If so, you would then need a EIN from the IRS and a state of PA Number. You should contact a lawyer to discuss what works best for you for tax and liability purposes. I offer free initial consultations.
