most of that is controlled by the area your in, you would have to look at the business licensing in your local area, the big bitch is SSI, which I believe your getting, SSA (standard social security) is very lenient and willing to work with you on such things, but SSI is unforgiving as a Texas ranger looking at a murderer
if you need it I'll double check my facts and see if things are as tough as they were, but I have a feeling that this is the big stumbling block you will have to deal with.
and remember with the SSI goes any medical insurance that you receive from the state, and so on
look into it if you think you can make more than your getting now, but remember to include the cost of replacing all that will be lost, paying taxes on what you do make, insurance to cover your backside if someone Sue's you for data loss, and if you can, try to incorporate with a class, I think its C corporation that protects you from a lot of junk, speaking of Texas, you can get a Corporation set up there, even if you don't live there.
it can be done, I know a few people that have done it, but its not easy the real owner of: www.gamesfortheblind.comwas making from 3 to 7 thousand a month until he messed things up and quit producing new games, and fluffed off his alpha test team/game co designers and lost most of it. as far as I know, what is up there now is what the team assisted him in developing with nothing really new.

Hello list,I've thought about doing a computer repair/virus removal performance tuning type of business, and was going to put an add in the news paper. I'm wondering what kind of hoops I need to jump through; it looks like I need a couple of licences from the CO website, but I'd like to see how things go before I have to get a lawyer and etc. Is there a legal way to run it and record earnings while I see if I'm going to make enough money to make this worth it? Any ideas/advice would be great; I wasn't sure where to ask, and I believe there are a few people on the list that run a business that may be able to throw out some ideas.Thanks, Tyler Littlefield Web: tysdomain.com email: tyler@xxxxxxxxxxxxx My programs don't have bugs, they're called randomly added features. __________View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind
