I have a contracter ( friend ) to do the lift, I have power people, I have plumbing people, I have carpet people, allllll are friends that have businesses and licences..

I am going down to the court house later this week to get my business licence.

I was thinking that the above-mentioned fictitious property would rent for a max of about $1,500 (and I guess this is why I’m on the sideline and not making deals).

He still makes a fair living as a non- licenced handiman.

In other states, if your already part of a related profession, you get a pass on the mobile home dealers licence.

Is there a downside to getting licenced?

It states: "From here you can search and access filed information for corporations, limited liability companies, limited partnerships, general partnerships, trademarks, fictitious name registrations and liens."

No matter how you look at it, it's a business.A different question is whether you give your business a name by filing a fictitious business name statement (AKA doing business as or DBA) or take it even one step further and form a legal entity such as a corporation or LLC.An advantage of having a named business is that it might add a sense of legitimacy in the eyes of some.

I got my Realtor’s licence in the state of MN as well as ran my own painting and handyman business for seven years working closely with a Realtor friend of mine fixing and preparing properties which were about to go to market.

I've been looking into applying for my RE licence abroad or self studying for me G.
