Am I doing this small business thing right?

[Brian Knox]

If I simply want to manage a few properties for my dad (collect rent, do small projects, coordinate repairs), do I need to have a license for that?

Can I just establish a small business (sole proprietorship) and file along with my personal taxes and social security number?

This question seems so basic, right? But - I promise - I have called the SC Dep of Rev AND the SC Business Service and still not gotten a clear answer.

Please help!
