[pianotech] Business License....???

[pianolover 88]

A business license is required *only* if you are going to be selling tangible merchandise, and collecting sales tax. And that is through the SBE. Otherwise, solely tuning pianos requires no license, business or otherwise.

That is referring to business 
license,  not to be confused with a professional 
license.

Since when are piano tuners required to be licensed? Unless you 
  are referring to a *resale* license with the SBE, but for strictly piano 
  tuning, no license is required.

"Licenses 
  and Certifications Piano technicians are not required to be 
  licensed. The PTG offers the industry's only regulated credentials, 
  available to its members. Qualified piano technicians who pass three technical 
  exams can obtain Registered Piano Technician (RPT) credentials. Although RPT 
  certification is not required, it is typically an important selling point for 
  self-employed piano technicians pursuing clients."

  Please help!


Check with Syd Stone.  He had a license form the city of 
  Hayward, Ca. When a nearby city told him he needed a license for their city, 
  too.  He took it to court and won.  One license was 
  sufficient.  If you want to know any details, ask him, not me.  I 
  told you all I know.

  David,

I was 
    always curious that if we are licensed in the city in which we live as well 
    as the state, do we also have to have a license for all the surrounding 
    cities in which we work?  (It doesn't matter now, since I'm a CAUT), 
    but I didn't ever know if I was bending some sort of law living in Clinton, 
    WA, but doing business all around Puget Sound.

Best,
Paul
