sealcoating start up some legal question????

[mbrooks24]

Hello, I live here in Pa and I am starting my own sealcoating business after working for my father paving/sealcoating for several years. I have bought all the necessary equipment for my business. The only problem is i have no idea where to get started as far the legal side of things. Also i would like to do work in PA and MD. Do i need a business license, or what steps do i need to take to start a business? Thanks!
