Have a Profitable Hobby? You May Need a Permit.

When times are tough, savvy individuals find ways to make extra money by turning their hobbies into side jobs by selling their homemade products or services.


Whether selling arts and crafts online or doing freelance work, entrepreneurs who have earning money from their hobbies need a local city, or county business license.

In Chicago, the Department of Business Affairs and Licensing processes license applications and once complete, the City Clerk issues business licenses.

If providing certain services from one’s home or offering goods, check with the city's zoning and selling requirements as well.
