I’m looking into opening a foreign currency account abroad.
Since I’m an American resident, am I facing any legal hurdles, or were all those restrictions scrapped back on January 1st, 2010?

Thanks, Henry Edwards33
I’ve come across that Lacey Act before, but everywhere I look, it seems like people are just calling it a proposed bill rather than actual law.

What am I supposed to do when the government is completely incompetent? The small business laws state certain trades require a physical storefront, yet they were too lazy to actually draft the regulations defining which specific businesses fall under that rule (even Canada has clear guidelines for this).
I can already see the lady at the local permit office looking me dead in the eye and demanding paperwork that doesn't even exist, leaving me to figure out how on earth I'm meant to produce it.

MIT is meant for retailers, restaurateurs, and transport providers.

To😁Big thanks to lili p.
Is there actually an official regulation or some specific statute that dictates which types of small businesses are strictly forbidden from operating without a dedicated commercial space? I’m not talking about those home-based business exemptions for residential zoning—I mean a hard rule on what requires its own storefront or office.
I’m looking to get my own small business off the ground, but I’ve hit a massive wall trying to find a decent commercial space. It’s infuriating—I’ve been scouring the web for hours and there is absolutely nothing useful out there.

Should mobile service providers—think painters, electricians, or contractors who work on-site—actually be required to maintain a physical office space when they first start their business?

In my opinion, you don't need Boeing for trade jobs; this stuff is handled through SCORE:
Any businesses or small shops registered for hospitality, retail, tourism, or transport services have to secure certification from the local economic development office before they even open their doors, ensuring their facilities and equipment meet all the necessary industry standards.

Like I mentioned in my previous post, I’m looking to get a sawmill or woodworking shop off the ground.
What’s tripping me up is seeing online that you need proof of "right to occupy the premises (either a notarized lease agreement or a copy of the deed from The Wall Street Journal, if required for the business type)." I can't tell if that requirement applies strictly to businesses needing specific municipal permits, or if it hits everyone—even those running small operations out of a residential home.
Also, does some kind of inspection commission actually show up to verify if the space meets code regarding ceiling height or square footage?
I already have a workshop lined up that should technically pass the requirements, but there's one catch: it doesn't have a formal building permit. Does anyone know if they're going to come sniffing around for that?

Thanks for the input, Taylor Swift👍

The issue is I’ve already got the space secured, but she doesn't have a building permit yet. Does anyone actually need to pull a building permit when they're just setting up an LLC?
Looking through the documentation checklist on CNN, there isn't even a single mention of needing proof of ownership or possession for the premises.

Hey everyone

Does anyone know where I can find an official list online of which small businesses actually require specific zoning permits or specialized space documentation?
I’m looking into opening a sawmill or a custom woodworking shop, but I can't figure out if there are strict facility requirements for that kind of work, or if those regulations are just limited to restaurants and retail shops.
