Do I need to register my business?

[Rep]

Yes, you need to register your business name with your state or county agency that registers names. If you want to run a business as a sole proprietor, you can do so under your social security number or, if you are hiring someone to help, under your federal employer identification number. Most cities and towns now require that, in order to 'do business' in that community, you must obtain a business license and that registration is mandatory.If you earn money, of course you need to register your business
