Well,
I was thinking about opening a business but I wasn't really sure. It would be a primarily phone order/online retail business. For those who are wondering, I was thinking of a 4wD supply store. There's general no good place within 60 miles and even then you get reamed on prices. The main reason I would do it is a would be able to get some $$$ but overall just get some people nice deals, and such. I wouldn't have any real costs as it would be run out of my house. Anyone know how expensive/complicated getting a business license/resale license is to get?

Thanks,
Kevin

You also have to deal with zoning laws.

I do comp repairs out of my house.
I can not get a business licence without lieing about the percentage done in and out of my house.

Considering I'm not using my house as a store front would that work do you think? Considering it's be used as a warehouse in a way.
