Short term rental - How to pay to un unlicensed subcontractor

[Aviv Peretz]

Hello everyone! 

I own 3 properties together with my parthner (LLC) in Joshua tree CA . On a weekly basis we pay to the cleaning crew (Zelle) and some other vendor and subcontractor without a lic to fix or improve out properties. I know its illegal to do it this way but its so hard to find a cleaning crew that have a Compney same with a subcontractor. Any advise about how to do it right ?

thank you!!!!!!!

They fill out a w9, so you can be sure you have their correct address and SSN, or EIN, or other Tax ID in your records, and then you issue the 1099 at the end of each year.
