Kelly,

It varies from state to state and also by county (I'm also a bookkeeper, and have been for over 10 years) :D

I believe you are in Washington State, as am I, so take a look at this site:

https://fortress.wa.gov/dol/mls/

it give you a great check list on 'who needs a business license'

Also, check out this site:

And check out these pages, too:

That should be everything you need.

If you need anything else, just let me know.
