LEGAL: FAQs for Business License Requirements
|

| |
By Christal Park Keegan, NVR Legal Information Line Attorney
 Are new real estate licensees required to have a business license? If they are are an independent contractor then they need to have a state business license. This is required by the Secretary of State (NRS 602.010). The Real Estate Division ("Division") is not the agency that requires this. They do however ask on the application if you have a state business license (NRS 353C.1965).
When setting up your business classification, a Sole Proprietorship is typically the default legal structure, but the agent should consult a tax attorney/advisor about whether taking the formal legal step of creating a business entity, such as an LLC, is ideal based on the agent's commission and liability potential.
