Q: Do I need an LLC as consultant? Or What do i need to start a consultant business ?
A: In most cases, you just need a business license and optionally, you can form a consultant LLC and get a federal tax ID number.

As the majority of businesses, 99.9%, you will need an consultant occupational business license even if you obtain a free LLC filing or you incorporate. In addition, you may need a federal tax ID number, and if you sell any merchandise, you will need a resale tax ID number. Also note that all LLC s need an occupational business license. Also, if the consultant LLC has more than one member, or you will file a tax return for the LLC as a corporation as opposed as a disregarded entity, you will need a federal tax ID number for the LLC .Starting a business fist step is to choose the tax legal structure. There are three major ones:1. Sole proprietor, 2. Partnership, and 3. Corporation or consultant Limited Liability Company. All small, home or web based businesses as well as big businesses must choose and register as on of the above. In addition, consultant businesses must obtain a business tax registration occupational license receipt. If selling any taxable items,a business must also get a reseller ID number to buy wholesale and sell retail. Finally, if a business is an consultant employer, it needs to get a federal EIN and a State EIN.

1. SELECT LLC, DBA, CORP

From sole propr., LA LLC, LA partneship or LA Corp.: Each requires an entity certificate filing.

2. TAX IDs - PERMITS

All Services businesses/entities need a business license and an EIN.

3. LA STATE SALES TAX ID.

Selling/Buying wholesale or retail requires a LA seller's permit.

✔ Biz Structure

You can choose to be a(n) :

Sole Proprietor,

After you decide and select your business entity, you need licensing.

✔ Biz License

Shreveport Business Tax Registration ( Business License)
All businesses including home, online or mobile BUSINESS need a BUSINESS license because they are BUSINESSES.

✔ DBA Biz Name

A(n) business using a fictitious business name in Bossier Parish i.e. you are a business that uses a DBA doing business as trade name to trade that is other than the full legal (first and last -- full name) name of a sole proprietor or a name other than the LLC or Corporation business name need a(n) fictitious business name. For instance you open a(n) business and you name it "Superior Group". You will need to file a fictitious business name for that name.

✔ Seller Permit

Also, keep in mind that in LA though, a business license and a DBA is necessary for most businesses but if your business sells any taxable items, you will need a sales tax ID number. (A.K.A state id, wholesale, resale, reseller certificate, about $39 for most states).
Seller's Permit

✔ Federal EIN

Note: All businesses need a federal tax ID number except sole proprietors that are not employers and are not independent contractors.
An independent contractor is a self employed business person that receives more than $600 per year from anyone of his or her clients.
IRS rule: The client must issue a 1099 form to the independent contractor and the independent contractor must have a federal tax ID. However, even sole owners may obtain a federal ID and use it as a business tax ID instead of using their own social security number as a business tax ID number.
However, all other licenses that apply to sole proprietors as discussed here are requited regardless of getting a federal tax ID number.

✔ State EIN

If you are thinking of hiring help, you will need a state employer ID and an IRS number employer ID. I.e., a LA Federal Tax Id Number ($29) and a(n) LA State Employer Tax Number

✔ L L C

Instead of filing a fictitious business name DBA Filing (about $49 plus state and legal newspaper publication fees) in Shreveport, Incorporate in LA or form a(n) LA LLC .

Filing a DBA is not required if you will set up an LLC or form a Corporation. Businesses that use the full legal name of the owner as a business name do not need to register an assumed business name. So, for example, your name is "John X Doe" and you use that as a business name.

✔ Incorporation

If you do form an Services llc or incorporate (about $49 plus state fees for most states) your business instead of just filing a fictitious business name (dba), that insurs that you don't have personal liability for debts and civile liabililty arising from your business dealings and you will not have to record the Shreveport business name. Instead of filing a Bossier Parish fictitious business name (our service fee includes dba business name filing and legal paper publication) you can elect to incorporate in LA or form an LA LLC (starts @ $49 plus state fee for most states & includes bylaws for the corporation and Limited Liability operating agreement for the LLC that is required to open a business bank account). .
