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!

Morgantown Business Tax Registration ( Business License)
All businesses including home, online or mobile BUSINESS need a BUSINESS license because they are BUSINESSES.



A(n) Handyman business doing business under an assumed business name in Monongalia County i.e. you are a business with a trade name other than the owner's legal (full name) name are required to get a(n) assumed business name certificate.   E.g. you venture into a(n) Handyman business and you give it a trade name such as "Excellence Handyman & Associates". You will need to register an assumed business name certificate.

In West Virginia you need a resale ID ( AKA seller's permit) if you selling touchable items.  (A.K.A state id, wholesale, resale, reseller certificate, about $39 for most states).
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 Morgantown, Incorporate in WV  or form a(n) WV LLC


You have a choice to file a DBA or form an LLC or incorporate. If you will do business under your first and last legal name you will not need to get a fictitious business 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 Other llc or incorporate (about $49 plus state fees for most states) your Handyman business instead of just filing a fictitious business name (dba), it will help you avoid personal liability from wrongs arising from your business dealings and you will not have to file the Morgantown business name. In lieu of recording a Monongalia County trade company name (our filing service fee includes trade name registration and newspaper legal publication for 4 weeks) you can also form 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.

LLC (Limited Liability Company) FAQs:

A trade registration is requred but if the owner wants to use the business name exclusively he or she cannot because anyone else can also file the same trade name.

Q: What if I an an out of state business? Do I still need to register and obtain a limited liability company (LLC)?
