[pianotech] business license?

[Gary]

Interesting answers!  I'm in Alabama, there's no sales tax on service, 
and have no employees .  I live in a very small town and went to city 
hall to find out if a business license was required, but the lady who 
handles that had left early for the day and no one else had any 
answers.  I'll follow up on Monday.  Thanks for the advice.
