Need business license?

Sunday, 16 August 2009 @ 12:59

Still newer to the area, I need advice on if I need to apply for business license in order to freelance in Salt Lake County.

I recently received a contract which asked if I had a business license. Do I need a business license? I work as a self employed, freelance Graphic Designer. I am a sole proprietor, no one works for me. I work primarily for other agencies and occasionally directly with clients. I work both on premises and in my home studio/office. So far, I’ve only been asked to provide agencies with a W-9 form.

I Googled and found information that seamed a bit conflicting: Page 12 of this pdf it lists businesses that must register. It does not mention Graphic or Web Design. But I also found this webpage which may suggest I need to.

I’ve lived and freelanced in 2 other states and Canada, two of which I was required to collect sales tax and had to register to charge, collect and pay the tax. I’ve never been required to obtain a business license. I’ve always just used my SSN or SIN.

Peer expertise and advice on this is greatly appreciated.

Post to group through Google Wave

Thursday, 15 October 2009 @ 16:35

I have created a Google Group for us so that you may “wave” to everyone in the group via Google Wave. Unfortunately, we didn’t get a pretty URL or email address because they were already used and Google has a lame rule that they can only be used once, even if the previous instance has been deleted (which was by me, which makes it even more lame).

Visit the Google Group home page for more information. Join the group and then add the address “utah-graphic-arists@googlegroups.com” to your Google Contacts list. You can then add the group address to new waves and everyone will have access to it.

Note that Wave will bark that that user does not have a valid Wave account when you try to add it. Ignore that and simply strike the return key and the address will be added to your contact list.
