Frequently Asked Questions
Depending on the types of license you require, you normally need to provide your legal entity document, shareholder/director information, business plan, and some others such as audited financial statement, rental office agreement etc. Rest assured we will support you to do it all.
The business license number is located at the top of the business license certificate or it may correspond to another number issued by the government during the application process. The business license number can also be looked up at the local business license office using said other number if the certificate is not available.
The type of business license number (also known as a company license number) depends on the city, county or state in question. Most companies, regardless of their size, must register for a business license number and apply for any additional necessary licenses. Some firms need to have a business license number ready before starting their business operation.
In some cases, simply having a tax identification number (such as the EIN) is sufficient. This depends on the type of business, as well as the location in which it is located and operates. Bear in mind, a tax identification number is not the same as the business license number because it is used solely for federal financial purposes.
When you start a new international business, it is likely that you will have to apply for a business license and other necessary permits to run your company legally.
The industry and location you run your business will determine which types of license and permit you need. The license fee will vary accordingly. Because it takes time and resources to get a business license, it is important to find an expert to get advice on what you need to get a business license.
