checks for AP jobs.
I would like to do some AP for hire but I am not ready to go all the way to the point of getting a business license, bank account, etc. just to do a few jobe here and there. I know that there is a practice in business where you can use your own name, like "Scott Parker Aerial Photography", and this makes things easier as far as acting like a business, but not having to do all the license and separate bank account stuff. Am I correct in assuming someone can wirte me a check with the business name above and I can cash it in my own personal bank account, or am I confused? If that's the case why do people use their own name for business.

When I do anything for hire unless it's a steady job it's cash only. That simplifies things to quite a degree. Also, when you become a "business" there are all sorts of people standing in line wanting to charge you more for even the basics like electricity.

Using your name is the most simple. You are a sole proprietorship and not a partnership or corporation at this point. However, most states make it very easy to file a DBA (doing business as) without regard to whether you have a particular business license, tax ID, sales tax permit, etc. Every state/county/city is different about what they require.
For now, unless you are going to engage this as a sole occupation, I'd keep it as a hobby that you occasionally make a buck or two. If it gets bigger than that, you'll know and then you can do all the official stuff to go along with it. |
