I recently started a painting company and I got my fictitious name and city license. Well I'm a little confused. I have been giving out estimates and they are asking if I'm licensed and I have been answering confidently that I am. My question is am I required to have a state license? There are only 6 numbers for the state license and about 10 in my city license which confuses my customers and honestly I am now too confused. Can someone please help. Thanks...
