Oh so no licenses needed for any of the building trades, and no licenses or state permissions of any kind to run a business? Good to know.

You need licenses for plumbing and electric but carpenters/contractors are no license required. What a lot of guys do is take on jobs and then sub out the technical stuff to licensed and insured plumbers and electricians.

If you run a business as a sole proprietorship then you don't need an EIN or to register with the secretary of state unless you want to set up an LLC.

To be clear, this is not any sort of legal advice and you should always do your own research or hire an attorney if you have actual questions. Don't just take the word of random people on the Internet.

I'm not. Trust me on that one.

That's part of it. Keep going.

My point was that if a claimed business is a scam that the state can shut it down. I wasn't buying your conspiracy theory. But if what you said were true, then the business should be shut down IMO.
