Consumer tips for SUCCESS:
*Source licensing and compliance  *Search for necessary permits and licenses  prior to booking *Create contracts between parties *Document work orders *Use previous client testimonials to base judgment on quality of work *Read all terms and agreements before moving forward with a business. Be cautious when paying for products and services using Venmo or CashApp as disputes and refunds are not guaranteed. When using PayPal ensure you are paying for goods and services and NOT the friends method. 



Sample questions to ask:
Are you licensed and bonded? (can you provide me with proof) What method of payments do you accept? Do you provide contracts and invoices for services? Do you have a booking site? Do you require deposits? Do you have samples of your work?
