What do you need as far as licensing, insurance, workers compensation, etc.?
Also, as far as our business name, should we keep it separate from the construction busines? We're afraid some people might think we're trying to scam them, but on the other hand I hate to go thru the hassle of the fictitious name, and expense of a second company?
What recommendations do you have for starting?
We'd appreciate any help you can offer.
Thank you,
