I am getting ready to start my business very quickly and I am wondering if any licenses are needed for the state of Michigan to perform simple office cleaning jobs?

My target group will be small offices e.g. dr.s, dentist, realators, banks and small churches. I have my DBA, ( Clean Sweep Commerical Cleaning,) my business account, and my insurance. I am the sole owner and operator. I just dont have any accounts. Today will be my first day hitting the streets and dropping off business cards, fliers and intro letter. I am very nerveous. I quit my job that paid $40k a year to get this thing started. So needless to say I need accounts quickly. I am scared about taking my first steps into the streets to get business going but, today I have to get a few introductions under my belt just to get a feel for it. One thing is for sure this forum has already been a big help. I am sure I will become a member very quickly once I get a couple accounts. Thank you for your reply. I just thought I better make sure all my bases are covered.

We found that most commercial businesses wanted minimum city license and basic janitorial bond. Looks more professional when you hand over with your bid too. Our bank would not give us an account without the license either. Natalie |

Our bank just wanted dba. Wow, strict down there in AZ. But I guess that's a good thing. Keeps the riff-raff out.  |

I am from Oregon and we needed only Our EIN to get our bank account as well as our Name, There are a lot of small cities around Medford, Or and We were told by one city hall to wait until we got our first bid to get our license to save on money, as long as we have our license when we start cleaning we would be fine, we also found out that one of the cities near us are un-incorporated and we do not need a license at all to do business there so check with city hall in each city that you plan to do business in, sometimes they can be really nice and help alot.

I didn't need anything but my business name and social to get my bank account. It was just the same as getting a personal one. All states and counties will be different with their requirements. Some townships may even require something different than the counties. It is best to cover all avenues. Talk to your state, county, and township offices. The following link is for the sba (small business association). You can go click on your state and see if you need a business license. www.sba.gov/hotlist/license.htmlStacy www.businessformsstore.comSupport, Guidance, Forms, Directory Listing |
