What is a business license?
营业执照允许您在行业或管辖区内经营公司。在提供商品和服务之前，您的业务可能需要获得几个许可证。联邦政府可能需要一些许可证，而另一些则可能是您的州或县要求的。
So, what do you need a business license for? Most businesses need to apply for a general business license to operate. You may be able to apply for a general license when you form your业务结构并在州注册。根据您的州或当地的要求，您可能还需要申请与您所在地区的业务许可证。
Depending on what your business does and where you’re located, you may need to get other licenses, such as professional licenses,DBA(doing business as) license, or other industry-specific licenses.
Before you begin the business license application process, check to see which licenses you need to obtain for your company. For more details on other licenses, check out theSmall Business Administration’s website。

How to get a business license: 4 Steps
您如何获得营业执照？获得业务许可可能会因您的州，公司以及您申请的许可而有所不同。但是，您需要采取一些一般步骤来获得业务许可。
Before you begin applying for licenses, make sure you form your business entity (e.g., corporation, sole proprietorship, S Corp, etc.) andapply for an employer identification number(EIN). That way, you can get your general business license and have everything you need to begin applying for additional licenses.
After you choose your business structure and apply for an EIN, you can follow these four steps to apply for a business license. Again, keep in mind that steps may vary depending on which license you’re applying for.
1.Determine which license(s) you need
首先研究您公司将需要经营哪些业务许可，包括联邦，州和地方级别的业务许可。业务许可的类型可能会根据您经营的业务类型而有所不同。
您可以找出您需要的许可和许可证：
- Contacting your state’s Secretary of State office, Department of Revenue, or similar agency
- 通过您当地的SBA办公室查看可用资源
- Working with a business lawyer or another professional
无论您做什么，都不要盲目应用。您要做的最后一件事是申请您不需要或未能获得所需的许可证的业务许可证。
2. Compile documents for the application
申请许可证时，通常需要提供各种文档和信息来填写您的申请。
Once you narrow down which licenses you need, take a look at each application to determine which documents you must gather.
许多申请要求：
- A description of the business and its planned activities
- ein
- 业务位置
- Copies of business records (e.g.,articles of incorporation）
- Proof of state or local tax status (e.g., sales tax permit)
- Lists of owners and managers
许多申请也可能需要提交您的申请。申请之前，请确保您拥有所有文件，以便方便付款（如果适用）。
3.申请许可证
准备好申请和文件后，您可以申请许可证（Woohoo！）。
请记住，每个应用程序都是不同的，因此请按照说明进行t并花点时间。根据应用程序，您可以在线提交申请。某些申请可能要求您邮寄或传真文书工作或亲自填写申请。
Once you apply for the license, you need to wait for approval. In some cases, you may need to provide additional documents after submitting the application.
4. Keep up with license renewal requirements
After you’re approved and receive your business license, your job doesn’t stop there. Depending on the license, you may need to renew the license on a regular basis (e.g., every two years).
Read the fine print and make note of which licenses you need to renew and how frequently you must renew them. Mark your calendar or set a reminder to avoid accidentally letting your license expire. If your license expires, you’ll have to renew it according to the regulations.
获得营业执照需要多长时间？
获得业务许可所需的时间长度可能会因您申请的许可以及您的位置而有所不同。对于许多许可，它可能需要几天到几周的时间。
To help expedite the application process and potentially receive your business license sooner, consider applying online, if possible. Online applications are quicker (and generally easier) than mailing a paper application or filling one out in person.
确保您的许可证尽快掌握的另一种方法是遵循所有指示，并立即提交所有必要的文书工作。如果您忘记遵循申请过程中的一步，犯错误或忘记包含文档，则可以延长该过程。
Finally, don’t put off applying for your business license. Apply as soon as you possibly can so you can have your license as soon as possible.
