Questions
Do I need a special permit to deliver balloons?
A special permit is not usually required for balloon delivery. Confirm with the local office that handles business registration, and ask your insurer what coverage you need for deliveries.
How do I handle a delivery to a venue with rules on balloons?
Ask the venue for its rules before you accept the order. If balloons are not allowed, offer a bouquet or a gift that fits the venue instead.
