What it is
The operating permissions a business needs beyond simply existing: the city business license, the seller's permit, and whatever your particular trade requires.
Who needs it
- A newly formed business that has not yet traded
- A business that has moved city, or added a second location
- Anyone who has received a notice about operating without a required license
What we do
- Work out which permits your trade and your city actually require
- File the city and county business license applications
- Register for the CDTFA seller's permit where you sell goods
- File a fictitious business name (DBA) statement
- Apply for a California Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license where you sell alcohol
- Set the renewal dates down somewhere you will see them
What to bring
- Your formation documents and EIN
- The business address and the date you started, or intend to start
- A short description of what you actually sell or do
