I currently own and operate a tour company in Colorado and have a vendor booth set up here. I would like to be able to travel state to state to different biker rallies with my booth and be able to be a vendor in different places throughout the Summer.

I live in a mobile home park and my neighbor has allowed her daughter who lives in a different town to set up a camper in their driveway of a rented lot to prepare taxes for people. I'm fairly certain that she does not have a home business licence for this as it is not her residence. Is this legal?

I already have the photography LLC. Can I operate the ecommerce business under that or do I need to get a new LLC? Can I just change the name of my current LLC to drop the word photography?
