Videographers Banking in Connecticut — FAQ

Do videographers in Connecticut need a business license?

Connecticut doesn't require a specific videography license, but a general business license may be required by your city or county. If you use drones commercially, you'll need FAA Part 107 certification regardless of state.

Should videographers in Connecticut form an LLC?

Highly recommended. An LLC ($120 in Connecticut) protects your personal assets from liability — especially important for videographers who shoot at events, on location, or with expensive equipment. It also makes equipment purchases and insurance simpler.

What banking features matter for videographers in Connecticut?

Videographers need to track equipment purchases and depreciation, manage irregular project-based income, and categorize expenses like software (Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve), gear rentals, music licenses, and travel. AI bookkeeping handles all of this automatically.

Do videographers in Connecticut need insurance?

General liability insurance is strongly recommended — many venues and clients in Connecticut require proof of insurance before hiring a videographer. Equipment insurance protects your cameras, lenses, drones, and lighting gear. Costs vary but typically run $500–$2,000/year for basic coverage.
