I never actually did get my official license from SD County, despite having visited 4 different offices and paying multiple fees. Here in Atlanta, my <i>bank</i> printed out the forms for me, and then the business license office offered all kinds of pointers for getting started out as a small biz owner. And my official license paper thing arrived within a few weeks. I immediately hung it up on the wall in our office :) I'm so loving living in an area where people have an interest in competence, helpfulness, and good ol' manners.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04540657332826963453noreply@blogger.com
