What permits and stuff do i need to obtain to open my own photography studio?
I am trying to open my own photography studio, but i am not sure what permits and stuff that i need to obtain….can anyone help me?
You will most likely need a business license from the state and the city (possibly the county, as well).
The requirements vary by state. For any further licenses or permits, check with your state and city governments. Go to their web sites–they should have a section for people starting businesses that will give you the information you need.
I teach small business at a community college, and I notice that my students are very concerned about the licenses and permits. Applying for a business license is a one-time event. Marketing, on the other hand, goes on forever. If you don’t have a marketing plan, I encourage you to get one. An excellent book on the low-cost marketing is "Marketing Without Advertising" by Michael Phillips and Salli Rasberry.
