business license

Post by baconhawka7x »

I am making a lot of progress on my current game 'Bow Quest Adventure Hero' ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zN5WVRmW ... el&list=UL ) and we are looking into a lot of the neccesaties of selling a game.

I stumbled across something that has been an obstacle in the past. A business license.

We have looked at where to get one, but none of them fit a game developer, or and indiependant artist or anything along those lines. We have only looked at this website http://www.sba.gov/Licenses-and-Permits . What should we do? We are pretty sure we NEED a business license to sell anything.


Also, we have 100 subscribers on youtube! So thanks for that because I'm guessing most of them were from the love2d forums!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIfmMvyaOOs&feature=plcp

Some quick Google searching returned this:

http://www.amaranthia.com/downloads/How ... r-Game.pdf

There's a lot of good stuff in there, actually.

Of course, it links back to the link you already posted, so you may have seen this pdf already.
I LÖVE, therefore I am.

Weren't you, like, very young? (If not, I'm sorry and you can ignore most of this.)

Because then it might not even be possible to get a business license (I don't know, never lived in the US.)

Also, it's probably best to get a business license if you're actually making a decent amount of money, because you might not get as far as needing such a thing.

Thirdly, I would advise you to get a responsible and knowledgeable adult, like a parent or a teacher, who can help you with things like that. Preferably someone who has experience with starting and operating a small business.

Wow I never even thought of that. Thank you! I almost forgot that I can probably find a loophole through everything, my father owns a business called Quango ( http://quangoinc.com/ ) and I never even thought of asking him. Thanks! I'm sure he'll know a thing or two about business lisence's.
