Additional Notes

Must register with the Indiana Attorney General before transacting business in Indiana. $50 annual fee, no bond required. HB 1123 (2019) significantly expanded the registration requirement to cover ALL sellers making solicitations — previously only applied to transactions between $100-$50,000. The Do Not Call list is separate ($750/year). Penalties include up to $5,000 per violation, contract voiding, and personal liability for company executives. Class D felony for certain violations.

Indiana does not require separate individual salesperson registration. However, individual executives can be held personally liable for do-not-call violations — the enforcement reaches beyond the business entity level.

Apply Before Your First Call

Operating as an unregistered telemarketer in Indiana is a separate violation from consent or calling-hours violations. You can be penalized $10,000 per call even if every other aspect of your operation is compliant.
