Setting up or forming a limited liability company (LLC) online is simple, easy and affordable, inexpensive process for under $60 plus state fees.
An LLC is a corporate structure and you will not be held personally liable for the company debts or liabilities because, similar to a corporation, owners have limited liability for the debts and actions of the LLC. Limited liability companies (“LLCs”) are hybrid entities that blend pass-through taxation of partnerships and corporations and preferable because they allow you to save on taxes.
For example, the “New LLC Law” that became effective in 2018 and the 20% reduction in business taxes for small businesses earning less than $157,500.
LLCs were first created in Wyoming in 1987 and have become the preferred entities because LLCs are not bound by the same rigid rules of corporations and require no formalities such as corporate minutes to hold unless you filed an IRS form and you treat your LLC as a "C" corporation.
All LLCs need an IRS EIN after setting the LLC up, and a Responsible Person as well s keeping track of members and LLCs financial transactions and a filing of Form 5472. Foreign persons will have to report individually the transactions. Form 5472 is an information return for tax purposes and after an LLC is liquidated, it must file a final Form 5472 as well as when adding members.I am a handy man and will work out of my garage.I will shop around to get best prices on material so I can pass the savings to my clients.The business location will be based out of kingwood,wv but not limited to that area

Here's some straight talk on licensing for your handyman business, David:

Licenses You Need

  • Business License - This is required  to legally operate any business. It makes you official.
  • DBA/Fictitious Name Filing - If using a business name different than your personal name, you need to register it.
  • Tax ID Number - This links your business to your tax returns. An EIN if hiring employees, or SSN if just you.
  • Trade License - For handyman services, a contractor or trade license is often required locally.
  • Sales Tax Permit - If selling physical products, this permit allows collecting sales tax.

The main reasons for these licenses are compliance, taxation, and liability protection. As a business you need to check all the boxes and get your ducks in a row!

Additional Considerations

Depending on your services, additional permits may be needed on a local level for plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and construction work. Safety and specialized skills requirements come into play. Discuss with your county/city clerk.

Also consider general liability insurance for handyman work, as clients or employees can be injured on the job. And bonding provides financial protection if you damage property.

But don't let the licenses overwhelm you! They are just formalities to make sure you operate safely and legally. Take it step by step. As Woody Allen said, "80% of success is showing up." Now get out there and start handymanning!

Seller's Permit



Note: All businesses need a federal tax ID number except sole proprietors that are not employers and are not independent contractors.
An independent contractor is a self employed business person that receives more than $600 per year from anyone of his or her clients.
IRS rule: The client must issue a 1099 form to the independent contractor and the independent contractor must have a federal tax ID. However, even sole owners may obtain a federal ID and use it as a business tax ID instead of using their own social security number as a business tax ID number.
However, all other licenses that apply to sole proprietors as discussed here are requited regardless of getting a federal tax ID number.


In addition you will need a federal and a state EIN if you will hire employees. I.e., a WV Federal Tax Id Number ($29)  and a(n) WV  State Employer Tax Number  


Instead of filing a fictitious business name DBA Filing (about $49 plus state and legal newspaper publication fees) in Kingwood, Incorporate in WV  or form a(n) WV LLC


You have a choice to file a DBA or form an LLC or incorporate. There is a cicrcumstance that you may not need to register a trade name and that is when you use your full name as a business name if you use your full legal name as a trade name.
Also note that even using your first and last name may not help you avoid filing a DBA if the name has a suffix such as "& sons" etc.



If you do form an Construction llc or incorporate (about $49 plus state fees for most states) your Handyman business instead of just filing a fictitious business name (dba), that insurs that you don't have personal liability for debts and civile liabililty arising from your business dealings and you will not have to record the Kingwood business name. Instead of just registering your Preston County assumed business name (our fee includes assumed business name registration and legal newspaper publication) you can choose to setup a corporation in West Virginia or form an WV LLC (starts @ $49 plus state fee for most states & includes required documents such as bylaws for the corporation and Limited Liability operating agreement for the LLC). .

About Your Business Type

Handyman

Ok, I run a handyman business. What Do I Need To Start A Handyman Business ?

Hey George, welcome to the handyman world!

You'll need to register your business. If you are using a trade name, you will need to register it with a DBA, LLC, or corporation. 99% of all businesses need an EIN, but it's always a good idea to have one. If you plan to have employees, then forming an LLC is a smart move, but you will also need a federal EIN and a state EIN. Finally, if you want to buy any materials, merchandise, tools, food or anything tangible wholesale, get a seller's permit. And don't forget, you'll need a business license to operate.


Did you know that you're joining an elite group of more than 91,120 handymen in the United States? You're like a part of the Avengers, but instead of saving the world from aliens, you're saving households from plumbing problems and busted lights.

And guess what? Women make up 7.6% of the handyman population, so you'll be breaking gender norms and stereotypes like a boss! You're going to be a real-life superhero for your customers, fixing problems they can't handle on their own.

Now, let's get down to business. As an independent contractor for a real estate company, you'll need to register your business. If you're a sole proprietor, you may not need an EIN, but it's always a good idea to have one. If you plan to have employees, then forming an LLC is a smart move.

And don't forget, you'll need a business license to operate. But don't sweat it, it's just a small bump in the road to becoming a full-fledged handyman. Once you have all of that sorted out, you can tackle any job that comes your way. From fixing leaky pipes to installing light fixtures, you'll be a jack-of-all-trades.

Just remember, with great power comes great responsibility. You have the power to fix anything and everything, so use it wisely. And don't forget to use your charm and humor to make your customers' days a little brighter. You got this, George!. Here is some statistics about handyman, 2021

I need to find a tangible list of duties I can perform, I have always for years used my Social Security number. I am filing for Handyman services. Furthermore, I think I just need to call the issuing office here.

Additionally, I just don't see how this is going to be legal for me. When will I get the license? When I file for this license, will I have proof that I have filed? If I file, what proof do I have that I have a business license pending?

Here is what you need to start a handyman business. In most states, you don't need a contractor's license to do small repair tasks as described below. You may need a Home Improvement license. However, for simple tasks like changing bulbs, repairing leaky faucets or painting a house, it is unreasonable to demand such license.

You can just obtain a business license instead of a home improvement license because you have to show that you have at least two years of experience in home improvement work and a certificate of insurance to get a home improvement handyman license (contractor's) license in Maryland.

So, after you apply here for a business license, we will find out if it is absolutely necessary that you get a state license and carry insurance because going the other route, you must also pass an exam that questions about business and law.

Nevertheless, in most states, for handyman, you just need a BUSINESS license and a federal ID. If using a business name, you need to file a DBA as well and if you want to buy without paying taxes from the Home Depot, obtain a seller's permit as well.


Information Required to obtain a Business License:

1. Your entity (such as LLC, corporation, partnership, or sole proprietorship)
2. Full Name of Entity or Individual Name (if sole proprietor) Registered Trade Name, LLC or Corporation Certificate.
3. Federal Tax ID Number (for corporate entities) or social security number (for sole proprietors and partnerships)
4. Seller's Permit Account Number
5. (Insurance number) if you have employees

Answer:

In the state of Utah, as well as in other states, a contractor’s license is not required for a handyman business that performs tasks not more than $1,000.00. However, you do need a general Business License because you are a business. you are a handyman business because anything done for profit is a business for the IRS. So you will need the Business License and in addition, optionally, you may want to obtain a seller’s permit certificate that will allow you to buy your construction materials wholesale.

EXAMPLE: So for example, you buy 10 bugs of concrete from Home depot. The price will be about $100 plus taxes and you will have to pay about $108. However, after becoming a handyman contractor and you sign up as such, you will be able to buy wholesale and save about $20 which is about 20% of your purchase.

Finally, if you will use a Handyman Services trade name to go by… for example, “Super Fixer Handyman Services,” "Mr. Handi Man," or “Abra katabra Handyman Services,” you will need to register a fictitious business name certificate. You can obtain all of the above here online on this site.

You must have a Business License in Palm Coast, FL because this allows you to operate your business within city or county limits. It is always important to register your business name with either a DBA, LLC, or Corporation in order for your business to look more legitimate, and to open your business accounts.

If you are leaning more towards you LLC registration that would be your best choice because it will keep your assets protected as long as LLC is active. Lastly an EIN is filed in order to due your business taxes, an EIN is like a SSN for your business.

LLC (Limited Liability Company) FAQs:


Q: Would an LLC be better than filing a fictitious business name?

A: If you desire more business prestige for market presence you may want to set up an LLC. E.g. the fictitious business name (DBA) is . deAndrewtch Handy Andys Handyman ServiceCo. this name as well as any other name is an assumed business name and it must be recorded as a DBA Doing Business As name which also requires a fee to be recorded.

Just recording an assumed business name does nothing to keep the name exclusive nor does it avoid personal liability for the business owners. Only setting up a limited liability company (LLC) will protect the name at the state level and also protect the owners of personal liability. It is perhaps a better choice to just incorporate for the same or a little higher fee because you will also have corporate protection for the business name and personal vs business liabilities.

E.g. if your business has debts the lender can sue you personally to obtain a judgment vs your personal assets as opposed in the case you were a corporation where the lender could only sue the corporation directly and if the limited liability company (LLC) had no assets the lender could get nothing.

A limited liability company (LLC) affords more prestige and it helps you obtain business loans.

Q: Can I apply by phone and set up a limited liability company (LLC)?.
A: You can apply by phone but the best way is to just fill out our online limited liability company (LLC) form.

Q: I already have a tax ID as a sole proprietor can I use it for the LLC I am forming now?
A: Forming a new type of entity of a business constitutes change of status for that business and that requires you to get new licenses and tax IDs under your name.

Q: What if I an an out of state business? Do I still need to register and obtain a limited liability company (LLC)?
A: Unless you have a location in the state you sell it is not required to form an LLC there.

Q: If I order a limited liability company (LLC) online how long will it take before I receive it?
A: Normally we will have to wait for a corporate certificate if you are a corporation othewise we normally obtain it on the same day you order it.

Q: Do I need to obtain a federal or state tax ID number before forming a limited liability company (LLC) or getting other licenses?
A:

Q: What is a DUNS Number?
A: Dun & Bradstreet is a business credit rating company and they use your info to inform lenders about how credit worthy you are.

Q: Do I need to pay sales tax to the state as an LLC?
A: Paying sales tax depends on your state. For example in Oregon you dont need to pay sales tax but you still need a resale certificate to buy from other states wholesale products.
