Can I sell my own services without having a legitimate business?
Question Details: Can I sell my own services without having a legitimate business, such as charging for computer services without owning a computer business. Also, what are the reprocussions if I use a company name that I make up without registering a DBA?
To answer fully, I must address that there are serious tax implications (because you must collect sales tax from purchasers). But, there could be zoning or criminal implications as well. You should incorporate. It's cheap and not difficult.
