Reminder: Before you begin advertising your services, make sure you\u2019ve 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. \u00a0Have a tax accountant set you up for estimated quarterly \u00a0payments to the IRS, maintain a daily mileage book and keep all business receipts together.
