mayango, In which state will your business be located? This will affect what kind of licenses and permits you'll need. Feel free to use our Permit Me Tool to generate a quick list specific to your state and industry.

The liability is considerable and the cost of wheel chair-accessible vans and other things you will need can be expensive.

Where are you located? You can use the Small Business Guide for your state to locate licenses and permits. I also suggest you start out by using this checklist: 10 Steps to Starting A Business
