Hi Carrie, Taylors Cleaning and Organization sounds like a promising venture. Weekly and biweekly clients create a dependable schedule, and start-up costs are little more than supplies. Below we walk through the three things every new business in Florida sorts out (structure, tax IDs, and licenses) and then sum it all up.
House and office cleaning in Florida doesn't need a state license, so you're in a simple spot: a local business tax receipt and, if you use a name other than your own, a Florida fictitious name registration. Commercial clients often ask for proof of general liability insurance and sometimes a bond. Florida doesn't tax residential cleaning, but certain commercial cleaning services may be taxable.
By the numbers: Banks, insurers, and tax forms will ask for your industry code. For a house cleaning service it is NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services). That makes 4 items on your list.
Tip: Carry liability insurance and a janitorial bond, which many clients ask about before hiring you.
To recap: Taylors Cleaning and Organization in New Smyrna Beach, FL needs an LLC, a DBA, an EIN, and a business license. Handle these early and the business starts on solid ground.
