County Business License
Sometimes Even Your County Needs A License
Most traditional businesses will invariably require some state licensing to operate legally. However, there is also a spectrum of companies for which a license from the county may be required. This is not a universal requirement, and the type of business and the specific state of operation play a role in whether a county will also have license requirements for a business.Even Your Home May Require Additional Licensing
Small businesses should be aware that even deciding to operate initially from home to save costs may still require licensing from your county. Zone ordnance and permissible activities on a property are part of the licensing and permit legal structure, so even if you’re not yet ready to open an office or business outlet, turning your home into a place of business may bring county license requirements with it.Check Your State & County Requirements
The best way to stay compliant and get all the correct licenses—including county, if needed—is to do the research and check with the right state and county government agencies. This can be very detail-oriented and time-consuming, depending on the state and how accessible their resources are.
The other option is to talk to experienced experts. Some businesses, like LicenseComply, specialize in keeping track of license requirements for every type of business in every state, county, and municipality in the United States. Working with such an organization means getting everything you need to know about all at once.

Who gets counted in the business license monitoring subscription service?
Each unique license within a regulatory agency is counted as an individual service subscription. This includes licenses added at the group, sub-group, and jurisdiction.
How can I get a list of my licenses?
You can get a list of your licenses by contacting our representative directly or emailing service@licensecomply.com, assuming we have serviced the entity within that regulatory agency.
