Reply to comment by IamSauerKraut in I don’t know if this is the right sub Reddit to post this but do I need a PA business license to go door to door with two of my friends and offer to clean their windows. If I do what type of license do I need and where should I go to get one. Any help is appreciated, thank you. by Equivalent-Club-5191

yard work is a slightly different story, although damage can still occur, it is likely less then cleaning windows.... and they are 18/17/17... so they aren't going to get away with anything for "being a kid".

​

It sucks, but this is absolutely what they need to do to protect themselves, and their clients. windows are expensive, damaging one is pretty easy, hurting themselves is as well, and you have 3 people doing the work, so how does that work from a pay/company perspective? just hoping all 3 do the exact same effort?

​

I respect OP putting in work and busting ass, but this isn't the 80's anymore, and they aren't 12. They are adults doing adult work on adults homes, adults they don't know other then professionally who won't hesitate to make the lives of those around them awful if they fuck up

Given your gloom'n'doom approach, it is no wonder kids do not want to work these days.

once again, they aren't kids... and call it what you will, but this is reality. If this was a 12 year old knocking on his neighbors door to cut their grass or shovel their sidewalk I would be providing much different advice. these are adults, offering professional services to random people.

They need to protect themselves if they are going to go into business for themselves

Since 17 is not an adult, there is no legal difference between a 12-y.o. and a 17-y.o. Let him be ambitious. Don't kill his go-to spirit with your prattle.

His business partner is listed as 18... hence adult, and they are 17... which means within 1 year they will be 18... so not planning for literally < 1 year away is just dumb
