We absolutely do not need a business license. She needs to talk to PC's legal or tax department about that if someone is insisting she needs it (tax accountatn?) and set them straight.
We are not employees of PC but we are sales representatives for them. They provide our liability insurance (we only pay $2 per month), our commission checks are issued by them, we get a 1099 from them. We are self-employed in the sense that we can choose when and how much we work but we agree to follow their guidelines.

You know what mascara is made from, don't you?
It isn't REALLY made of it, it contains guanine which is found in all plant and animal tissues.
There is no PROOF that guano is used to acquire guanine but fun for people to share!
