If I were to start my own business (running errands for people)..........................

would I need to be registered as a business with the state? (I live in Illinois.) Also, what would be reasonable rates to charge for things like picking up someone's drycleaning or doing their grocery shopping for them? Thanks for your reply!

Check out the Small Business Administration web site -- they're a great resource for the small business owner. I listed a couple of other handy links as well.

Associations may be a good avenue to explore for pricing information -- see posted links.

Try reading up on the subject -- check out Amazon, your local bookstore or library.

Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

You're welcome! Best of luck to you! Report It

i dunno. maybe a dollar for most of them or 5% of the grocery bill sounds good?

is thihs the kinda thing you mean?
