have you ever heard of a pc rep having to get a business license to sell? a friend just signed up and said this - and i have never heard of it!!!
 
Nope, never heard of it. I would think that PC as a company has the license and we are just the indpendent "contractors" you might say.
 
This has come up before. We do not need a business license.
