z8young asked:


I have a degree but not in Interior Design but have been doing my own design and for friends for years. I want to have the license so I can go in and make purchases on behalf of clients. How do I get an official license?
So someone below says all you need to do is get a business license and you don’t need a degree. I can definitely do that very easily – just form an LLC and get the license. Is there anything else I need to do and is this correct? I don’t need a degree or have to take some sort of course to get a certificate or something?

   License for what. You don’t need a license, you need a tax id number and insurance.

   You do NOT need a degree in a college discipline to start and operate a business. If your talent for design is good enough and you work hard and smart, you can run your own successful business. You need classes in Small Business Management, not design classes. Especially, because you have been doing your own design for years. Trust yourself. Apply for a Tax ID# and go into business. Advertise your craft (show some pictures of your work), create a web site, learn to sell yourself. GL DESIGNER!!!
