Good Question! Legally you must be able to operate in both states, incorporated, business license, insured for out of your state. Do you think the contract is big enough to pay all these costs. Some services do this all the time also by not being registered in each state. Another good question is insurance some services, might be a borderline servicing two or three states, im not sure but ill look into it.  Hey Patti, How do you manage servicing three states? |

It is really weird where I am located. I live in Indiana right on the Ohio/Kentucky line. Even though I live in Indiana, almost all our clients are in OH or KY. Those are the areas we service. In fact I just have one client in Indiana. So I can only get insurance for OH and KY on one policy. Patti |

My advice to you regarding out of state contracts is that you do not manage the contract but you manage the manager. In other words the contract should be large enough for you to hire a site manager. Typically, this means having a contract in the area of $10,000 per month. This was the minimum size I would consider for most all contracts . I sometimes bid smaller contracts within a given area of my larger contracts and use the site manager to manage those.

Hello neighbor , From Crossville Tn. There is a local company here that cleans resorts. They are coast to coast and have around 3000 employees. So it is possible. You could probably get some answers at the Tn State Dept. I think its in the Andrew Jackson building. I'm just 100 miles from you so if I can be of any help PM me. Also check out interlink off of Polk and Fiberglass Rd. They offer several classes.
