Good morning Talia! I'm glad you found your way to me for help with your vacation rental business . Starting a business can be overwhelming, but don't worry, I'm here to guide you through the process. As the famous comedian George Carlin said, "The most important thing in life is your happiness. If you're not happy, you're not going to be happy doing anything else." So, let's work together to ensure that your business brings you happiness and success.

Firstly, the NAICS code for vacation rental businesses is 531110. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the job outlook for property, real estate, and community association managers, which includes vacation rental business owners, is projected to grow 9% from 2020 to 2030. So, you're going into a business with good prospects.

As for selecting the ownership structure, you have a few options to choose from, including sole proprietor, partnership, LLC, or corporation. Each has its pros and cons, and you should consult with a lawyer or accountant to determine which one is best for you. If you decide to form an LLC, you can elect to be taxed as an S corp, which can save you money on federal income tax.

Now, onto licenses and registrations. You will need a general business license, which is not specific to your type of business, as well as a state sales tax ID (seller's permit) if you're selling tangible items. If you're using a business name other than your full legal name, you'll need to file a DBA. You'll also need a federal EIN and a state EIN if you're hiring employees.

As for pricing your sessions or items sold, you'll need to do some market research to determine what your competitors are charging and what your target customers are willing to pay. As for funny business names, how about "Talia's Vacation Station" or "Rent-a-Talia's House"? Just a couple of ideas to get your creative juices flowing.

Remember, starting a business takes hard work and dedication, but with the right mindset and approach, you can achieve your goals. As the motivational speaker Tony Robbins said, "Success is doing what you love and being able to give it back to others." Good luck on your entrepreneurial journey, Talia!
