What is Included in a Business License Report?

We provide all the licensing requirements and required applications based on the entity’s business type and jurisdiction. The business license report pulls all business licenses required to operate the company based on the federal, state, county, and local levels. Failure to acquire the appropriate licenses could mean that your business is out of compliance. This may result in fines, penalties, and even forced closure.

What is a Business License?

A business license approves your engagement in an industry limited to a specific territory. Federal, state, and local governments may regulate the activities of your business requiring one or more licenses. A license is an additional requirement beyond the formation of the business with the state. The licenses you need vary depending on the nature of the business, types of products you sell and the government regulations in the location of your business.

Who Needs a Business License?

All businesses require some licenses depending on the jurisdiction they operate in. Some general business licenses include: Basic Business Licenses, Payroll Tax Registration, Sales Tax Registration. If the industry you do business in is regulated then additional licenses may be required. Examples of industry specific licenses include: insurance, charities, and retail sales.
