Franchises Franchising



Franchising is a business arrangement where a franchisor sells a business idea and methodology or a "franchise business" to a franchisee, who operates the business under the franchisor's name. The franchisee is authorized to use and market goods or services under the franchisor's trademarks, service marks, and trade names for a specific length of time. In exchange for the advantage of not having to start the business from the ground up, the franchisee usually pays the franchisor an up-front fee and a percentage of sales. Each state has its own franchise information regarding the franchise law and regulations governing franchises. Franchising information and law brought to you by lawyers.com.

What are the Tax Requirements for a Home Business?

I have a small freelance graphic design consulting business since 2003 that I started in California. I have recently relocated to Pennsylvania and was told by the city borough that a license is not necessary due to the fact that my business is all based online. However I was encouraged to get a tax ID.

I already have a tax ID from the time that I started the business in CA, does this mean I need a new one for the state of PA?
