In this section we will take a look at what setup requirements you need to put in place at a bare minimum to get your face painting business off the ground.

This section provides general information for face painters worldwide, with some particular detail for Australians (as I'm Australian). No matter where you're from, I strongly encourage you to do your own research and look into the legal requirements for your country, state or territory. I wish that I could provide detailed up-to-date information for every corner of the world, but it’s just not possible. Regulations are changing every day, so make it a habit to revisit your research from time to time to ensure you're still doing the right thing.

The general advice in this section will give you a healthy head start in knowing what to look out for in your own research for the types of licenses, permits, and registrations you’ll need in your area. I also provide links to resources in major countries to help you on your way to starting up your business.
