Doing business in Texas means taking advantage of some of the lowest tax rates and cost of living anywhere in the continental United States. It is one of the friendliest states of the union to entrepreneurs and actively courts them from all over. However, like all states, licenses are required to operate within its borders. - Licenses are required for operating electricians, interior designers, land surveyors, mortgage brokers and others. Business licenses are also required for manufactured housing producers, land surveyor firms and real estate appraisers.
- Health and beauty licenses cover such professions as dietitians, massage therapists and massage establishments, and cosmetology practitioners. Massage therapy schools also require certification and licensing before they are allowed to operate.
- Certified public accountants, insurance agents and adjusters and mortgage banks---as with all states, operating as a financial or insurance institute requires certification and licensing. Texas allows mortgage banks to renew their licenses online.
