Do I need a business license?

June,

My position was eliminated from my company but I am approved to be an outside consultant (speaker). Should I get a business license or DBA? They will pay me via 1099. Right now I have 2 engagements lined up but hopefully there will be more in the future.

Thanks.
Kim


Hello Kim,

You do not need a DBA. Read DBA: Doing Business As -- It's just a name to understand what DBA means. Also, you need no license unless your profession requires it. Here's a column on my website you might want to check out I am a Business.

Wish you success!
June
