I live in Massachusetts.  I would like to start a small part time
business of moving furniture for people by renting trucks and billing
people for my time and truck and sometimes get some part time help.  I
don't know much about small businesses.  Could I get a moving Liscence
and Insurance? Where would I get them? and how much would they cost
me?  I would like to use the information or links to decide if it's
worth doing this.

Brian,

As a former mover, let me make a suggestion. Go to work for a moving
company, a great one in your area would be: Paul Arpin Moving and
Storage. They are highly rated, run a tight ship, and you'll earn as
you learn.

Do that for 1 year, and learn everything you can from operations, to
claims, to billing.  Moving is  a very complex business *My brother in
law owns an agency.  Labor is generally a problem, and you'll need
more than a pickup. Youll want some sort of straight truck, or used
Uhaul.

Again, I suggest you work in the industy at least one year so you will
obtain expertise.

Good Luck

Clint
