The SBA confirms that most small businesses need a combination of licenses and permits from federal, state, and local agencies, with requirements varying by activity and location. Here is your starting checklist \u2014 ten items to secure or verify before you open your doors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your first-action checklist:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u2611 Register your business entity with the Secretary of State (LLC, corporation, or other structure), or file a DBA\/fictitious business name if you\u2019re operating under a name other than your legal name<\/li>\n<li>\u2611 Apply for an Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS \u2014 required for corporations, partnerships, and any business with employees<\/li>\n<li>\u2611 Obtain a city or county general business license (also called a business tax certificate or occupational license)<\/li>\n<li>\u2611 Register for a sales tax permit \/ seller\u2019s permit with your state Department of Revenue if you sell taxable goods or services<\/li>\n<li>\u2611 Confirm zoning compliance and obtain a certificate of occupancy if you operate from a physical location<\/li>\n<li>\u2611 Get a health department permit if your business handles food preparation or service<\/li>\n<li>\u2611 Check for a state professional or occupational license if your trade is regulated (contractors, healthcare, cosmetology, real estate, accounting)<\/li>\n<li>\u2611 Identify any industry-specific federal license that applies to your activity (ATF, USDA, FCC, FDA, DOT, EPA)<\/li>\n<li>\u2611 Register for state payroll withholding, unemployment insurance, and workers\u2019 compensation if you have employees<\/li>\n<li>\u2611 Set up a renewals tracking system \u2014 a central spreadsheet or compliance calendar with every license name, issuer, renewal date, and fee.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong> <em>Start with your local city or county clerk before anything else.

But if your work touches agriculture, alcohol, firearms, broadcasting, transportation, or certain food and drug manufacturing, a federal permit is mandatory before you operate.<\/p>\n<p>According to the SBA, business activities regulated by a federal agency require a federal license or permit, and requirements vary by the issuing agency.

Not every business needs all three, but you should check each one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step checklist for state compliance:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Check the Secretary of State<\/strong> \u2014 File your Articles of Organization (LLC) or Articles of Incorporation (corporation). If you\u2019re a sole proprietor or general partnership operating under a trade name, file a DBA (doing business as) or fictitious business name at the county or state level, depending on your state\u2019s rules.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check the state Department of Revenue<\/strong> \u2014 Register for a sales tax permit (also called a seller\u2019s permit) if you sell taxable goods or services. Economic nexus rules now mean that even out-of-state sellers with significant sales volume into a state may owe sales tax there.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check state licensing boards<\/strong> \u2014 Many professions require a state-issued license before you can practice. Common examples include general contractors, electricians, plumbers, cosmetologists, nurses, physicians, real estate agents, and CPAs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>States vary widely in their approach. Some require a general statewide business license; many delegate licensing entirely to cities and counties. Most state-level regulation focuses on specific professions and sales tax registration rather than a blanket business license. Always check your specific state\u2019s rules rather than assuming a national pattern applies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Common state-regulated professions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Construction and specialty contractors<\/li>\n<li>Healthcare providers (physicians, dentists, therapists, nurses)<\/li>\n<li>Cosmetology and barbering<\/li>\n<li>Real estate agents and brokers<\/li>\n<li>Accountants and CPAs<\/li>\n<li>Insurance agents<\/li>\n<li>Childcare providers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Where to look:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Secretary of State website (entity registration and DBA)<\/li>\n<li>State Department of Revenue (sales tax \/ seller\u2019s permit)<\/li>\n<li>State licensing board search (profession-specific)<\/li>\n<li>SBA\u2019s register your business page for a state-by-state overview<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr>\n<h2 id=\"what-local-permits-does-your-city-or-county-require\">What local permits does your city or county require?<\/h2>\n<p>Local permits are where most businesses get held up. A city or county general business license is the baseline, but depending on your location and type of business, you may need several additional permits before you can open.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Typical local permits to check:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>General business license \/ business tax certificate<\/strong> \u2014 required by most cities and counties; this is a revenue-tracking mechanism and does not replace activity-specific permits<\/li>\n<li><strong>Zoning verification \/ home occupation permit<\/strong> \u2014 confirms your location is zoned for your type of business; home-based businesses often need a separate home occupation permit<\/li>\n<li><strong>Certificate of occupancy<\/strong> \u2014 required when you move into or renovate a commercial space; confirms the building meets safety codes for your use<\/li>\n<li><strong>Health department permit<\/strong> \u2014 mandatory for any food preparation, food service, or food retail operation<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fire department permit<\/strong> \u2014 required for businesses with public occupancy, flammable materials, or commercial cooking equipment<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sign permit<\/strong> \u2014 needed before installing exterior signage on most commercial properties<\/li>\n<li><strong>Street vendor or mobile food permit<\/strong> \u2014 required for food trucks, carts, and street vendors operating in public spaces<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Confirm local rules through your city clerk, county clerk, local health department, and planning or zoning office. Many cities now offer online business portals that consolidate these requirements. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/nyc-business.nyc.gov\/nycbusiness\/wizard\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">NYC Business Wizard<\/a> walks New York City businesses through every local permit they need based on their specific activity and location.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong> <em>Ask your local zoning office for a written zoning confirmation letter before signing a lease. A verbal \u201cthat should be fine\u201d from a clerk is not binding. A written letter protects you if zoning rules are disputed later.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/myincteam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1786349078062_Keys-and-zoning-approval-letter-on-desk.jpeg?ssl=1\" alt=\"Keys and zoning approval letter on desk\"><\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2 id=\"how-do-you-register-for-employer-and-tax-accounts\">How do you register for employer and tax accounts?<\/h2>\n<p>If your business has employees or sells taxable goods, you need specific registrations beyond your entity filing. These are separate from your business license and cannot be skipped.<\/p>\n<p><strong>EIN (Employer Identification Number):<\/strong> The IRS requires an EIN for corporations, partnerships, and any business with employees. Sole proprietors with no employees can use their Social Security Number for some purposes, but an EIN is strongly recommended for banking and tax purposes. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/businesses\/small-businesses-self-employed\/checklist-for-starting-a-business\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">IRS start-up checklist<\/a> covers EIN application alongside other core tax steps. You can apply online at IRS.gov and receive your EIN immediately. Non-resident founders without a Social Security Number can still obtain an EIN \u2014 see Myincteam\u2019s guide on getting an EIN abroad for the exact process.<\/p>\n<p><strong>State employer registrations:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Payroll withholding account<\/strong> \u2014 register with your state Department of Revenue or Department of Taxation to withhold state income tax from employee wages<\/li>\n<li><strong>State unemployment insurance (SUI) account<\/strong> \u2014 register with your state workforce agency; rates vary by state and industry<\/li>\n<li><strong>New-hire reporting<\/strong> \u2014 federal law requires employers to report new hires to the state within 20 days of the hire date<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Workers\u2019 compensation:<\/strong> Most states require workers\u2019 comp coverage once you hire your first employee (some states exempt very small employers or specific industries). Coverage can be purchased through a private insurer or, in some states, through a state fund. Confirm your state\u2019s threshold and rate requirements with your state\u2019s Department of Labor or equivalent agency.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sales tax account:<\/strong> If you sell taxable goods or services, register with your state Department of Revenue before your first sale. Economic nexus rules mean you may also need to register in states where you have significant sales volume, even without a physical presence there. For a full breakdown of which tax IDs your LLC needs and when, Myincteam\u2019s tax ID requirements guide covers the specifics.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2 id=\"which-industries-commonly-require-extra-licenses\">Which industries commonly require extra licenses?<\/h2>\n<p>Beyond the standard business license and tax registrations, certain industries carry additional permit layers. Here is a quick scan of the most common categories.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Industry-specific licenses by sector:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Restaurant and food service<\/strong> \u2014 health department permit (local), food handler certifications, and potentially a food facility registration with the FDA if you manufacture packaged food<\/li>\n<li><strong>Alcohol sales or manufacturing<\/strong> \u2014 federal Basic Permit or Brewer\u2019s Notice from the TTB, plus a state Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license and often a local license; alcohol licensing is among the slowest and most expensive permit processes<\/li>\n<li><strong>Construction and contracting<\/strong> \u2014 state contractor\u2019s license from the state contractors board, plus local building permits for each project; specialty trades (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) often require separate state licenses<\/li>\n<li><strong>Commercial trucking and freight<\/strong> \u2014 USDOT Number and Motor Carrier (MC) Authority from the FMCSA for interstate operations; state-specific permits for intrastate hauling<\/li>\n<li><strong>Agriculture and animal transport<\/strong> \u2014 USDA licenses for meat processing, organic certification, or interstate animal transport; state agriculture department permits for intrastate operations<\/li>\n<li><strong>Firearms and ammunition<\/strong> \u2014 Federal Firearms License (FFL) from the ATF; state and local dealer permits in many jurisdictions<\/li>\n<li><strong>Broadcasting and telecommunications<\/strong> \u2014 FCC broadcast station license for radio or TV; FCC authorization for certain wireless or satellite services<\/li>\n<li><strong>Medical and pharmaceutical<\/strong> \u2014 FDA facility registration for drug or device manufacturing; state medical board or pharmacy board license for practitioners and dispensaries<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Special cases worth noting:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Interstate transport triggers federal DOT requirements that stack on top of state permits<\/li>\n<li>Businesses handling regulated chemicals or generating hazardous waste need EPA permits that vary by waste type and volume<\/li>\n<li>Multistate eCommerce sellers should audit economic nexus thresholds in every state where they have significant sales, since sales tax obligations can arise without any physical presence<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr>\n<h2 id=\"how-do-you-confirm-your-exact-requirements-and-apply\">How do you confirm your exact requirements and apply?<\/h2>\n<p>Start with three checks right now: Secretary of State \u2192 state Department of Revenue \u2192 local city or county clerk and health department.

Professional licenses often renew every 1\u20134 years. State entity reports (annual reports or biennial statements) follow their own schedule, which varies by state. Missing any of these can result in fines, license suspension, or administrative dissolution of your entity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Common mistakes that cause problems:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Assuming your EIN or state incorporation replaces local permits (it does not)<\/li>\n<li>Missing the local business license entirely because you focused on state and federal filings<\/li>\n<li>Ignoring zoning requirements for a home-based business<\/li>\n<li>Missing renewal deadlines because permits are stored in different places with no central log<\/li>\n<li>Failing to update permits after a change of address or business activity<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Late renewals can cause fines or license suspension, and businesses should treat renewals as ongoing operational tasks rather than one-time completions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong> <em>Keep a single folder (physical or digital) for every license, permit, and registration your business holds.

The IRS, the Secretary of State, the EIN \u2014 these have weight. But the permit most likely to shut your business down on day one is the local business license or the zoning approval you never confirmed.<\/p>\n<p>Local enforcement is immediate and physical. A city inspector can post a closure notice on your door. A state tax authority sends letters for months before anything serious happens. That asymmetry matters when you\u2019re deciding where to spend your first compliance energy.<\/p>\n<p>My working rule: get your local operating permission and tax registrations in place before you hire anyone or sign a lease. The baseline set of documents you need before any of that \u2014 EIN, entity registration, local business license \u2014 takes less time to assemble than most founders expect, especially if you use online portals and come prepared with your entity documents.<\/p>\n<p>One more thing that often gets overlooked: many permits require proof of liability insurance or workers\u2019 compensation coverage as a condition of issuance. Check insurance requirements at the same time you check permit requirements, not after.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2 id=\"myincteam-handles-formation-and-compliance-so-you-can-focus-on-your-business\">Myincteam handles formation and compliance so you can focus on your business<\/h2>\n<p>Formation and compliance paperwork is manageable when you know exactly what\u2019s required.
