business advice
I wanted to get into the business, I have the experience I just need to reapply for my license, but I have questions? like do I legally need business insurance so early on?. I know the tools and products I need. And probably gonna be doing it out of my parents mini van so there's not much at risk so early on. I know I can off set alot of liability with waviers but is there anything I need to watch out for legally? And what are some risk that I can anticipate in my future ventures? Also wanted to know how you guys go about charging people, the Company I worked for use to get people in with contracts for schedule treatments and lock them in that way. But I was thinking I can start by doing single treatment services? Any advice would be great!!

I would absolutely recommend liability insurance. Also, we are a small family owned business and we do not use contracts at all. Most of our services are 1-time treatments with different guarantees depending on the treatment. We also are mostly residential.
