Well,
I have my E.I.N. from the Fed's as "sole Proprieter, "member managed", LLC.
Of course , my State License, is Member managed , and an LLC.
and the County isnt too picky,
But , yeah, the "Exemption ", was for workers comp.
I was told , that way, if lets say the clients vehicle broke loose and rolled down hill, and hit me, on theyre property, I cant sue them , for not having work comp.
Otherwise, I would have to carry work comp on myself.
I had lunch with another farrier last week, and we discussed it.
He said , up till recently, it was $20. a year, no questions asked. Just sign a waiver with the state.
LOL< now its $125 for 2 years, and you have to have 15 points worth of business related items , to prove you are in business.
What strikes me funny, is a few of the points would be for items that are from doing "ACTIVE" business.
But, they were pretty strict, in telling me NOT to work at all, till this was complete.
But, its done. Feels pretty good too. NO worries.
I guess , my next step, is getting Health insurance. Just in case.
Thanks to you all , for the input and interest in this topic.
Very informative!
Be Safe
