[QUOTE="Steve B, post: 247996, member: 15754"] To make sure you do it right for your location talk to a lawyer. As soon as you start operating as a business that sells a product or service you have to be careful about things such as collecting and submitting sales tax if applicable. The fact that someone has a website and/or a Facebook page is meaningless and does not mean they are registered as required by state and/or local laws. Talk to a lawyer to be safe and avoid future headaches. Also remember that requirements for a unique business name will vary depending on the scale of your business and location. Filing as a DBA is usually a lot easier than setting up something like a corporation. You also need to talk to a lawyer about liability issues and how that changes depending on how you set your business up. [/QUOTE]
