I advertise in the Yellow Pages for Computer Repair.
Do I need to be licensed and bonded to go to people's houses to fix their PCs? If so, where do I get licensed and bonded? I have no friggin clue.
Go to the Google web site.
Search for the following:
Pennsylvania business regulations
I just did this and it worked. Lots of sources of pertinent information.
It really doesn't make sense to ask for legal advise here. Few if any of us are attorneys.

Do you need to be licensed and bonded?
That depends entirely upon state and local rules and regulations.
Sales tax rules are even more important to be aware of and follow. Check with the State Treasury Department for information.
As to bonding, that depends on your comfort with risk.
Bonding is basically a form of insurance. The bonding (insurance) company stands behind you should you be accused of theft or property damage while performing your service at a clients home.
Some clients will only hire your services if you are bonded and insured.
Bonding is not the same a liability insurance (which you should also consider).
A bonding agency will perform a background check to see if you are a reasonable risk. The thoroughness of the background check varies by the level of the bond.
Check with your insurance agent, lawyer, or local Chamber of Commerce for more information.
