Where do I find a cleaning kit with contracts, leads, supplies, etc.? -

you can buy a janitorial company that already has accounts, complete inventory and contracts in existence or like so many here on answers, you can probably find them the same way so many are looking to find a way to make money sitting in front of their computer in their pajamas all day.

You won t. You ll need to figure out what you need to buy and buy it. You might find sample contracts on the internet, or might want to consult a lawyer. You ll have to generate the leads yourself.

Question about opening a gallery and photo studio....? -

Do you need any liscenses or certificates (or anything of the sort) to open/own a gallery, or a photo studio? (Serious answers only) Any information that corresponds with what I am asking, or you think may be helpful, links, etc please let me know. Thank you.

In my home state of New York all I need is a NYS Sales Tax Certificate of Authority. I also needed to file with the county a DBA ( Doing Business As ). Some will use their social security number and you may be given a federal tax ID number. In my case I was given a separate Fed # because I had more than one business.Your state or country may have other requirements.Go to nys.gov for a start. Or your home state.gov

Associations may be a good avenue to explore. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you ll inevitably have as well as many you haven t anticipated yet. http://www.ppa.com �C Professional Photographers of Americahttp://www.wpja.org/ -- Wedding Photojournalist Associationhttp://www.thempa.com/ -- The Master Photographers Associationhttp://www.nanpa.org/ -- North American Nature Photography Associationhttp://www.nppa.org/ -- National Press Photographers AssociationResearch, research, research �C this cannot be stressed enough.
