Thanks for the sharing the link. Posted it on my Facebook account.
Hopefully Craigslist $25 fixed rate technicians will raise their rate once their license.
Yep, that is the way they do it, just gotta make sure you don't touch home stuff, also I believe CA has a statewide deal about LV jobs over $600 so watch out for getting hit with fines for not pulling permits on low voltage jobs if they run over.
Why I am starting up a business in CA, I guess like punishing myself. The fees, Permits, Licensing, Taxes and so on are outrageous. Most states charge LLC only $100 a year, not CA $800.
If your a single owner with LLC, you can avoid the $800. Talk to your tax prepare.
Filing Guidelines
All LLCs classified as corporations that organize in California, register in California, conduct business in California, or receive California source income, must file California Form 100. The California Form 100 must be filed by the 15th day of the 3rd month after the close of the LLC’s taxable year.
The LLC will be taxed at the corporate tax rate of 8.84 percent and will be subject to a minimum tax of $800.
All LLCs classified as partnerships or disregarded entities that organize in California, register in California, or conduct business in California, must file California Form 568 Limited Liability Company Return of Income. California Form 568 must be filed by the 15th day of the 4th month after the close of the LLC’s taxable year.
An LLC required to file Form 568 pays an annual tax of $800, and may be subject to an LLC fee based on total income from all sources derived from or attributable to the state of California. The annual tax is due by the 15th day of the 4th month of the taxable year, and is paid using CA Form 3522, Limited Liability Company Tax Voucher.
In addition, an LLC filing Form 568 which has members who are not residents of California must file FTB 3832, Limited Liability Company Nonresident Members' Consent with Form 568. FTB 3832 is signed by the nonresident individuals and foreign entity members to show their consent to California’s jurisdiction to tax their distributive share of income attributable to California sources. The LLC must pay the tax for every nonresident member who did not sign a FTB 3832.
Yao have only been open for one month in Grass Valley CA and this morning two officers from the department of consumer affairs came into my business and gave me a $250 fine and said we must comply within 30 days or risk heavier fines and possible shutdown if we didn’t get the license. I was like you hadn’t heard of this license but apparently it is very real I don’t know if we got turned in but I think the fact that it is a smaller town and we are the first cell phone repair shop to be in the town and we have a great downtown location so everyone can see us including them. I think one of them just happened to see us and looked us up and saw we didn’t have the license so they came in. Anyways it kinda sucks it’s costing us $190 to get the license. I am not sure how hard it is to get yet cause I am just now trying to get it. I’ll give more info once I’ve gotten it.I've been in the business here in CA for 4 years now and this is the first I've heard of this. Who says you "must" get an ERL? Neither my County or the State has required me to do it. I wonder how many other CA techs haven't heard of this....

Take it to a jury trial. Even if you loose it costs them time and money and sends a clear message not to **** with you again that there isn't any money in it.
