Hey, I'm new here to the whole kick starter thing and I am doing some research before I start up my project.

My question is, do I need a business licence? if I'm selling these rewards to fund my project don't I need to some how cover my butt from the government? I'm in Canada by the way.

Thanks,

Thematrixiam

I'm not all that familiar with business laws in Canada. I know that in the US you can use the websites without an LLC. On taxes see: http://mashable.com/2013/07/30/kickstar ... wdfunding/

I think you would probably be counted as a sole trader or the Canadian equivalent.
