What matters most

Must-haves

Insurance, background checks, an emergency plan, a safe sign-in and pick-up routine for minors and a privacy policy protect students and the business. Rules for licenses and background checks differ by state and city; check with yours.

Employees and contractors

The IRS looks at behavioral control, financial control and the relationship to decide whether a tutor is an employee or a contractor. Getting it wrong is costly; decide it before hiring.

What this is not

Legal or tax advice for your state.
