Something that is often overlooked in the process of starting your business is the requirement that there may be licenses and permits necessary for you to conduct business on a federal, state, or local (city, county, or town) level. The importance of knowing the business license requirements that are associated with your venture can be significant.
Certain types of businesses, such as restaurants, construction companies, online businesses or even home-based businesses may have requirements which are particularly important to understand, however, you may be unfamiliar with. Requirements can range from a basic business license to operate within a city or county, to a specific permit to sell alcohol or lottery tickets for example.

These licenses are normally renewed on a yearly basis but some last 3 or even 5 years.
