I thought that you didn't need to register your business name if you are using your own name...but you always need a business license. Might be different for different jurisdictions though. In Edmonton, they recently changed it so that the 'fee' for a license are also your city taxes, so you only pay one time (per year).FWIW...The research I have done says that you do not need a business license if you use your own name for the business ( ie your receipts are written as John Smith... not John Smith Photography)...
I also heard that you may not require a business licence if you are not doing business out of your house, ie. negotiating payment or recieving payment in your house. You are doing everything outside of your house or home business. But check with your local city hall.I thought that you didn't need to register your business name if you are using your own name...but you always need a business license.

Either way, I'd certainly suggest using an accountant.
That would make sense, because the business license is basically a permit to conduct business in a location (your home for example). However, the cost of a license isn't much and you can then have a 'home office' and write off a portion of your living expenses.I also heard that you may not require a business licence if you are not doing business out of your house, ie. negotiating payment or recieving payment in your house.

You can still write off your home office space even if you do not have a business licence. I do and and my wife is a bookkeeper.That would make sense, because the business license is basically a permit to conduct business in a location (your home for example).
