how many of you had to get a business licence - jm
Posted: Oct 13, 2009
I am curious how many of you had to get a business licence. I live in OR and was told by the tax lady that I need to get a city business license. Does everyone have to have one. I keep getting surveys as though I am a business with employees (how many employees, size of building I run my business from, etc). So am just curious how many others got this and is it a requirement as an IC to have the license. (just wonder if my tax lady was wrong).

I was advised by my CPA to get one years ago and so I just always have. If you are ever audited by IRS it is good to have one. I live in CA and initially it was about $100, and yearly now it is $16.
depends where you live - deenibeeni

I live in an unincorporated area, & the county ordinance states that a home business that does all its business via mail and/or internet does not need a permit. It may or may not be the same where you live; I would check with my city or county before going to the effort & expense of applying.

Mine is the same as jm. If you don't go out and solicit work in the community or have people coming with work to your house you don't need a license. But, you may have to pay B&O tax.

The VLC - Are They Still In Business?! Dec 22, 2009I'm a student with The VLC online school. I sent in 2 assignments 9 days ago and haven't heard back from them. They've never been particularly swift reviewing assignments but this is getting ridiculous.

I'm sure we all have different styles that work for us - so what's wrong with that? This is carrying micro-management way too far. ...

One Good Way To Get Out Of This Business. Mar 24, 2010Fed up with it? Also fed up with the usual job sites that repeat the same ones over and over?
Go to your state's Employment Commission web site. Click on site for state job postings. Put in your job criteria, and make sure you click the one that says G for General Public. Put in full/part time, etc. You can even select the county in which you wish to work. When the jobs are posted you usually have 10 days to do an online application and can submit ...
Greed In The MT Business May 04, 2010I believe greed has taken over the transcription industry. If the client is charged so much per line, does he only have to pay half for voice recognition? I doubt it. The voice recognition should have been a tool for the transcriptionist to be able to produce a lot more lines . . . instead I believe it is so the higher ups can line their pockets with gold and stomp on the MLS. Transcend is now sooooo greedy they are sending almost half of the work overseas at night. ...

Rather Than Claim 'it's Just Business'... Sep 03, 2010I'm wondering if those who claiim that this is 'just business' and it's how business is done everywhere can give a valid reason why it is more beneficial for the company to lay off without giving notice versus letting employees know they are getting laid off?

Starting A Business Jan 29, 2011Hi. I am new to MT boards here but wondering about how one would start a home business. I have worked for companies as a subcontractor but wish to advertise for myself and get some work from local doctors on my own. I would likely need a mini transcriber if I have to pick up and drop off tapes, but how does one do it over the internet?

I don't know why I'm surprised to hear this, but it seems pertinent to our concerns regarding offshoring. Maybe we should learn how to join them if we can't beat them? Maybe global marketing is the subject we all could profit from studying??
