Does anybody know what type of licensing I need to legally operate a company in California that both brokers equipment leasing deals, and acts as an ISO for MCA and Working Capital lenders?

I have a book of business ready to get started today, but I am not 100% certain of what steps I need to take before I get my business going legally.

I know I will start by setting up my website, email, and connecting with the lenders I want to go through, but from a legal perspective, I am relatively clueless.

Do I need a California Finance Lender's License to broker equipment deals?

Thank you in advance for any advice or assistance.

I know I will be using this forum as a resource to fund deals as soon as I am all set up and ready to go.
