Yay, a friend has a new vocation! Reminder: Before you begin advertising your services, make sure you’ve done your research and obtained any required city and county licenses ahead of time (one for each service you offer,) done your fictitious name registration, and obtained bonding and insurance if needed.  Have a tax accountant set you up for estimated quarterly  payments to the IRS, maintain a daily mileage book and keep all business receipts together. Don’t even think about working under the table or not claiming cash payments.  It’s really easy to stay legit and not have to be looking over your shoulder all the time. You’ll make more money, too, because you’ll have nothing to hide = less resistance, faster attraction.
