    I dunno about the states, but in canada, you need a business number (or registered name... you need to register, including the type of business :soleproprietorship, corporate partnership, corporation (LLC aswell in the states... LLC sounds good)

    you need a business licence from the city (generally < $50)

    if you bill more than $30,000 a year, you must charge gst, and remit it to the gov't... so you need a GST number. (in the US you probably have to charge sales tax and whatnot)

    as for banks: you are unemployed... forget about a mortgage, make your riches and pay with cash.
