Information Required For A Business License

For any entrepreneur looking to begin their own business they are required to register for a business license. You can pick up a business registration form from your local county occupational tax office. This can be found over the Internet or your local phone book. You will fill out the form, return it and pay a small annual fee from ten to fifteen dollars. This may be a larger fee depending on the city and state of registration.

There are four main areas to the registration form. These areas include: business name, business contact information, employee details and an agreement section certifying valid and true information.

Business Name
The first area of information will be your business name. You want your business name to be creative but easy to remember. It should be able to convey what your business is or what it offers. You cannot get the wrong impression from Pizza hut or Jazz’s Car Wash.
Take some time to run name ideas over with friends; family and business counter parts to see what ranks higher on the interest level.

Business Contact Information
The next area of information is your business contact information. This information includes a phone number, fax, e-mail and local site address. If you have a different mailing address you will want to provide that as well. You will also be asked for the start date of your business as well as a description of what your business is. Do you provide a service or offer a product? You will also have to answer if your business deals directly or indirectly with adult entertainment. This question is asked due to ordinances against these venues.

Employee Details
You will be asked for information regarding employees. If you will have employees how many in the city, county etc. Below this questioning you will need to provide details of the type of business entity you are. Be it an individual, partnership, corporation or non-profit and so on.

Personal Agreement
After you have provided the full details to these questions you will be required to sign the application stating that all of your information is accurate and true. You should be aware that this information is available to the public, but personal information such as your social security number and personal address are not.

Process Overview
The over all process to apply for a business license is simple. It is actually the easiest aspect of beginning a personal business. The set up of your business and even the choice of business such as sales or services is much more complex. Business forms such as this can also include attachments requesting business partner information including address, phone and date of birth. You should also receive a county ordinance sheet that will allow you to know if your business can be run in what location. If in the vent you find that you have any further questions you can contact a city representative and they will be able to assist you in the completion of your business registration form.
