I need your professional advice regarding an opening of a new business?

A friend of mine is thinking to get into the air duct cleaning business. (He was working for such company a long time ago)


Dose any body knows anything about that kind of business? (Maybe also carpet cleaning)


Do you have to have a license to do air duct cleaning? (In Texas)


My friend told me that it is only brushing and vacuuming of the ducts with the air duct cleaning machine. Nothing complicatedI need your professional advice regarding an opening of a new business?
Check out sba.gov....Small Business Administration...lots of useful info on starting a business. There are also SCORE counselors listed (by area) that will help you out. You need to be very aware of the regulations you must comply with in starting out, as not following them is the reason why most new small businesses fail. You should also pull together a business plan so you know if financially this will be a good venture! GOOD LUCK!I need your professional advice regarding an opening of a new business?
You need a business license to operate a business, and a tax license to collect and pay taxes. Your friend should know of any special licenses to do the work there if he was in the business before. I don't think he should need a license to clean the vents but he will need to be insured with liability insurance in case he damages the vents he is cleaning.
