To operate a home based business in New York City, what type of business license is required?

I am interested in starting a private home based speech-language therapy business. If applicable, what else besides licensing does one require to start a home based business in New York City?

Typically, you’ll need a general business license issued by the city, professional liability insurance, and a state professional license to set up shop anywhere.
I suggest looking at the links from asha.org. There is a special interest group for private practice.
My understanding is that Medicare will not reimburse services rendered by a practice which is strictly speech pathology; you’ll need to seek out an OT or PT practice for billing purposes. I must say I’m rather out of the loop on this point, though. Things may have changed since I was a Medicare/Medicaid provider.

    First off, you need to ensure that you home is zoned for that kind of activity. If it is not zoned, there is no license to obtain to get around that. The idea is automatically dead in the water.

    It depends on what type of home business you start I don’t think you need any permits if you start a online business for instance you can start you very own MLM today for the low start up cost of $25 to setup and then $10 per month membership fee. This is a great opportunity to make some great money you can make hundreds even thousands of dollars in less 30 days get started now and gain access to tons of free stuff like beauty products, clothes, food, gift cards, coupons, and more.
