Step 1 - Create a Business!

Welcome to the State Business Licensing Center; the one stop resource center for your state business licensing needs.

In many cases, such as affiliate marketing, registering with your state as a corporation, LLC, etc.. is not necessary and all business can be conducted as an individual. However, if you wish to stay sheltered from your business and wish to have a more established and reputable presence, a legal business registration is highly recommended. 

You will find important information about small business licensing, state sales tax and additional resources to help you start your own business.

State business license requirements vary depending on your state and your business type. Keep in mind that you may need several different types of licenses and permits depending on your business location, services and products. Just click on a state in the map, or in the list below, to learn about that state’s business licensing process and how to get your business started.
