About the License: What is a Business License
Starting a business for a small business entrepreneur is an exhilarating adventure but then you need to comply with boring licensing requirements such as a business license that all businesses need.
So, for instance, Tony Montana inherits $5,000 from Sandra, his grandmother, a former herb making Witch from Cuba, and uses the money to start a business selling weed from home online in Colorado, and wants to know what is a business license. He wants to name his business "The High Mountain Grass of Colorado Ski Trip".
Well, in addition to a weed license, Tony will need a business license for his business as a general business license, or, in general, a license or a permission given by an authority such as the CO government to an individual or business. it can be confusing, but 50% or more of the people get it. I.e., they understand what a business license is.
Why Do I Need a Business License?
Here is the reason you need a business license: The license grants the licensee the permission to be engaged in some activity. For purposes of this site, a license is a business license (as opposed to a professional or other technical license).
That means that you are given permission to perform services or sell products at the business location that could be online anywhere or your home. E.g., Kim Karadassian starts a business, "Remember My Internet Video," selling internet videos of herself and low cut dresses for short women with oversize buttocks. Kim will need a business license because to operate this business even from the city of the stars home she owns even if she only sells online.
What You Can Do with a License?
However, note that the frustrating thing about a license is that it does not give you permission to perform a profession or a trade. For instance, Tony Soprano, a New Yorker not related to the Italian Mafia, is a medical doctor and needs both a MD license from the state and a business license possibly from the state, county or city or all three of them or as in the case of ammunition or firearms, a federal license as well. Likewise, an electrician or a construction contractor needs both a state professional license and a business license.
Example:
On the other hand, if Jennie Lopez and Anthony Banderas move together in an apartment in Philadelphia, PA and form a partnership business from home, e.g., selling stuff, such as apparel or shoes for beautiful women with superb buttocks, online, on Amazon, her and Anthony need minimum a general business license and a sellers license.
If they use a trade name (about $49 plus state fee to get it here), they also need a DBA(about $49 plus state fee to get it here), filing but they do not need another professional or trade license because the business is not specialized needing a learned type of formal education and or exam to obtain. Note that since this is a partnership between Jennie and Anthony, it needs at least the license, a federal ID and a DBA filing.
Here is What a Business License Does for You
In the majority of cases, more than 98% of the cases, a license makes it legal for you to operate your particular business from the location you do because getting a license means that an inspection took place if your business needs one.
For example, Jorgio Clooney born in 1961 gets tired with his frantic life and leaves Amal in London, UK and his friends in Hollywood, CA and starts a food business operating a cupcake bakery from home online in Texas... he may need a health inspection but that is part of the business license process anyway. So the business license and the sellers license will allow him to sell the pastries from home online and if he divorces Amal, he would not even have to pay her 50% of the profits.
So What Makes me Legitimate to Operate?
Thus, in addition, you can operate your business because you pay your flat tax in advance or at the end of the year so you are all set and legal to operate. For instance, Charlie Seen and Ariana Grand meet and decide to open a restaurant in California.
They find the location and name it "My Everything is 2 Men and 3/4s" and sell Jewish Food to exclusively TV producers in California. Ariana Grand sings and dances for them in the lounge. As soon as they obtain a business license, they will be able to at least open the restaurant. However, to sell alcohol a Liquor license is required as well as a sellers license to sell food and booze. Hiring waiters requires both the federal ID and the State EIN. So, yes, sometimes you need more than a license to fully operate.
Is a License the Only One Permit I Need?
Note, however, that a license does not give you permission to sell any specific products nor services. E.g., a sellers permit is a sales tax license that gives you permission to sell taxable products and collect sales tax not a business license.
Conversely, a service that is not taxable, such as a cleaning service, does not require a sellers license to collect sales tax. Note that not all services are free of sales tax. Personal services such as massage, are taxable in most states.
A business license is a permission to do business (almost any business), though there are limits in some cases, and the license is in fact issued to operate a certain type of business at a specific location.
So, is this license for my specific type of business?
It is normal and reasonable to conclude that a business license is specifically for your specific type of business. However, Ninety Nine Percent (99%) of the time that is the only license you will need other than also a professional license that is. However, a business license does not license you to operate the business type but to operate the business in general. On the other hand, most likely, that is the license you need .
I am a Professional/Person Practicing a Trade, Do I Need a Business License?
Thus, for example, you can get a business license to practice law but you still need to pass the state bar to actually practice law because you cannot practice law without the state bar license even though you need another license for the BUSINESS par of your office practice. That is the law office business.
Note that for professionals, the flat annual tax may be more than other small business but not always. Suppose, an attorney starts a business from home practicing law, that will cost him normally an annual flat tax of $50 to hundreds of dollars but normally about $100 to $200 per year.
Of course, you do not need a professional license to sell items from home as a home or online business selling on eBay or Etsy, for example, but you do need a business license and, to sell the products, a sellers license.
How Much is a Business License Cost?
We charge $49 for our legal document service to help you obtain it. In addition, some jurisdictions will charge you a processing fee or a flat annual tax amount ranging from $5 to perhaps $55 or more and it is not a uniform flat tax rate to quote here since it depends on the location, type of business, number of employees, and or the annual gross income. In addition, it is an annual tax that you pay in advance usually just this amount $15 to $50 or more dollars for the flat annual tax you need to pay every year.
Who is Responsible for the License Fee? Is There a Tax Amount I Have to Pay for The License?
That tax ranges from $0 to hundreds but I entered $55 because the large percentage of small businesses (90% or more) pay about $50 or $60 per year usually but not always in advance of the year. That is in the beginning of setting up the business or in the beginning of the year.
That is the average. But do not fool yourself. It can be much more. In a famous city of the stars, in California, for example, you can pay as much as $1,000.00 to obtain your business license. According to them, it is because you are using their city to market your business so you need to pay the price. However, in most cases, you will not have to pay the cost in advance nor is it high even upfront. Prepare to pay anywhere from $0 to $40 business license cost.
How Long Will It Take To Get My Business License?
Usually takes 1-5 business days, however, most licenses are obtained at 1-3 days or on the same days sometimes. Alfredo, our business license processing specialist can usually do it that fast. Note, some states, like Florida, take a day or two to process.

ANSWER: Minimum business Maine
licensing and Trade Name Certificate requirements Starting Your Own Small New Business Licensing
Regardless of whether you business is online, home, store, a concession stand or a mobile cart, you will need to comply with legal requirements.
First, you will need to select a business legal structure such as a sole owner/proprietor, partnership, LLC or corporation.
For example, you can just register your business name as a sole owner but you can also incorporate or form an LLC.
In either case, the name, unless you form an LLC or incorporate, must be registered with a DBA doing business as certificate.
This is so especially if the trade name you do business under is not your personal full legal name.
For instance, if your name is John Doe , and you do business as John the Fashion King , the name must
be registered with an assumed business name certificate because it is not your full legal name. However, you
also need to get a general Business License - not a specific one to your type of business - regardless of which business entity you select.
In most cases, you will need a general Business License< -- not a specific to your trade or shop license.
Also, note that whatever item that you sell or lease and it is an item that can be touched (i.e., tangible such as equipment,
toys, merchandise, electronics ) requires a state sales tax ID ( Sellers Permit ) to either buy or sell the items or
products wholesale and or sell them retail. If you are hiring workers anytime soon, you will need a federal EIN and a State EIN
( employer identification number). Other instances that you will need a federal tax ID are: if you are a partnership, an
independent contractor, a corporation or an LLC. You can also obtain a federal tax ID as a sole proprietor an
use it as a business tax ID in the place of a social security number.
However, you will still need other registrations,
such as licenses, an assumed business name DBA, and tax IDs still needed as described above. Finally, even one person,
sole owner/proprietors working from home or just online can form a LLC or incorporate , in which case, they will not
need to file a fictitious business name DBA also called an assumed business name. |
