Guess this thread has become a general area for application questions... I am new to the forum and hope this is an OK place to ask this.

I am 23 and after high school, in addition to other jobs, I have worked as a handyman. It has always been under the table smaller jobs but I have learned a lot and have not had any significant issues. I am now looking to expand the handyman side of my business (looking at getting bonded/insured/ and even a license).

I realize that with minimal formal tax/payment documentation having satisfied clients signing the application would not be sufficient. The plan is to keep good records of contracts and invoices while obviously staying under $500. Any tips on particular practices which would aid in my future application? I would hope that if business does well, I could apply after perhaps a year or so. Any chance? fool's errand?
