The Invisible Woman asked:


I am planning a business. I will start out with baskets for new babies and if all goes well I will make the extra investment for wedding baskets, and then so on and forth. By baskets I mean gift baskets. I have researched local business license, but I am not sure if a local business is the right way to go, so I am thinking internet or Ebay. What kind of license do you need for these types of businesses.

    Check with your State, Dept, but generally none, as long as you pay your taxes.

    You might want to check with your local Small Business Association. As far as I remember we didn’t need one. I ran an Internet business several years ago and I was told I didn’t need a license.

    The requirements vary according to your state. Call the business license office for your county and just ask them if you need a business license to operate an internet store. I live in Georgia, and in my county, you do.
