In order to run a Virtual Assistant business you will need to obtain a business license. The requirements to obtain a business are different in each city. In order to determine the requirements for a business license in your city you will need to contact the appropriate department. They will inform you of the forms you need to fill out as well as what fees need to be paid. Once you have obtained your license you are on your way to a new home-based-business: A Virtual Assistant Business.

*Note: A business license is required to open a business checking account.
