Do I need a license to start a painting business in Michigan?

There is no state license required for painters.

How much does it cost to start a painting business?

Starting a painting business shouldn't cost more than $2,000 to get going. While that is a lot of money, startup costs can be much higher for other types of businesses. Because your startup costs won't be too high, you will be able to turn a profit fairly quickly once you book your first job.Feb 8, 2021
