Most individuals who start a business in a building or specific location will need permits and licenses.
Of course, the details vary depending upon what state the business is being started in — but individuals will need to check their zoning compliance laws to determine whether they need a permit. It is very important that a new business is not started or built until the necessary permits are obtained.
In cases where businesses are being built physically, zoning officials reserve the right to have the building removed if the necessary permits are not obtained.
On the other hand, if an individual goes into business and works out of their home, they may also need a business license to operate. Depending upon the nature of the business, the individuals may need to seek city and state business licenses. The city business license gives the business permission to operate within the jurisdiction of the city. State business licenses are required for those companies which provide products or services governed by state laws.
