Got a job last month... did it; delivered with my USA invoice. One month later they send me bunches of documents for signing... not just a n NDA. But there is an issue with the payment, I am supposed to have a California Business License..and I do not live in California, most of the time I am not even in the USA. Will wait for payment but, ouch!!! It will hurt me to not get payment. Colleagues, WATCH out with New Customers.

Did they have any reason to expect it? Mar 12, 2021

Did you represent yourself as a Californian business?
