East Saint Louis, IL asked in Business Law for Illinois

Q: I am starting an internet-based credit repair company, can I service clients in any state?

My business is strictly internet. I skype or video chat with my customers or chat on the website. I am registered in Wyoming but I am now in Illinois with my fiance. He is referring his friends but I make them go through the website to get information or to request information and sign up.
