I am hoping to get more help here and I think this sort of topic belongs here more.
Anyways,
Hello all,
I have a couple of questions on obtaining a business license. For the past two months my brother and I worked for a data entry firm as an independent contractor, but we were never told that we would need a business license. Now we are required to obtain one in the next two weeks in order to avoid a fine (and possibly unwanted exposure).
The business falls Service type and under the LLC/Sole proprietor ownership.
The business license application form for the city I need it for has a section that requires a SSN and a Driver's License # for the owners/partners/etc.
Now, here's what I have been wondering:
Can I get a business license with just my ITIN/EIN?
Can a legal relative/friend act as the owner of this LLC/Sole Proprietor business and an undocumented relative/friend as a partner?
