Do Freelance Internet Marketers Need A Business License


Do Freelance Internet Marketers Need A Business License?
If someone owns a website that sells services only but they only do it part time from home outside of their current job, do they need to have a business license in order to operate online? The person running the website lives in California but all service is provided over the Internet only!

No, you don't. But you do need an individual tax ID from the Social Securities Office.

Benji is not entirely correct. You should call Legal Aid in your city and ask a lawyer. There should be no need for any licensing. And as far as reporting income it is only your SS# that is used for businesses such as you describe. But I am not an attorney...so this is not legal advice, only what I understand from my own tax attorney
