Business License

[David ilvedson]

Dear List,

I live on the Pennisula, just below San Francisco in California.
In my service area there are at least 20 incorporated cities.
Today I got a request from South San Francisco that since I
operate a business in their town I need a business license.
$80.00!!!!  I do live in S.S.F.  I live in Pacifica.  Apparently
since I do work for the S.S.F. Recreation Dept. the City
Business License Dept. somehow got wind of it.  Now if I had to
buy a business license for every city I have customers in I
would be out of business or at least have to jack up my prices
big time.  Obviously I have a business license in my own city of
Pacifica, but that was only after I rented a space for my shop.
Do any of you folks have to pay for multiple business licenses?
