Requirements for carpet cleaning business in CA?

Hello, My partner and I am starting a carpet and upholstery cleaning business in Los Angelas County. I know we will need to fill out a Statement of Partnership Authority and Fictitious Name Form. What are the other requirements? We already have all equipment and clients. I've already looked on CalGold and my city is not listed, nor surrounding cities. It would be Woodland Hills, CA.
