Why do I need it?

Importance of Business Licenses and Permits: While your main objective is to make money, your customers want to ensure that the places where they spend money won’t cheat them. That’s why business license agencies exist: to protect the customers. Being licensed by the agency shows your customers that you meet federal and state regulations for safety, cleanliness, and honesty, which helps them trust your business.

What You’ll Need: If you plan to start a business, you may need sales tax registration, a specialty business license, or maybe a fictitious name registration. You might need other licenses or permits as well, depending on what you plan to sell.

For example, if you plan on opening a restaurant, you’ll need one or more of the following business licenses:

  • Sales Tax License
  • Prepared Food and Beverage License
  • Alcohol License

Staying Compliant: Along with your business licenses, you may be subject to inspections, both initially and then each year. It’s important that your office, retail shop, or restaurant is clean and that you meet the regulations for your industry so that you can maintain your business license status. If you don’t, you risk being shut down.
