Frequently Asked Questions

How can a business license research report help my business?
A Business License Research Report will help give you and the business stakeholders peace of mind when it comes to your entity's compliance with state and local regulations. Even if you are operating in one location, we can help confirm you have licensing covered from the Federal level all the way down to your local municipality.
My business is already up and running. Can your research report help me?
Our Business License Research Report will still be beneficial your business that is already operating. We will confirm that your business has all the right licenses in place or help identify what your business may need if you wish to expand. If you are unsure of the status of the licenses you already have, you can also try our Business License Research Assessment.
Will RASI be able to tell me the fees involved in starting my business?
Our Business License Research Report will detail the filing fees due to the jurisdiction when obtaining a license. If you also wish for us to assist with completing the license applications for you, you can order our Business License Filing service directly from the report, which will break down our service fees.
What else could be required when obtaining a business license? Do I just have to complete the application?
Sometimes a jurisdiction only requires the information on the face of the application. However, many state and local filing agencies request additional documentation or have required prerequisites. Our Business License Research Report will detail these additional requirements for you.
Is a Secretary of State registration the same as a business license?
It is not. Some guidance you may read will use the terms interchangeably, but the Secretary of State registration is separate and distinct from a business license you might require. While both authorize you to do business in a particular jurisdiction, the Secretary of State registration is just the first step. If you are in a regulated industry or operating in a jurisdiction with local licensing or taxing requirements, you likely have a need for additional business licenses.

Does every type of business require a license?
Not always. There are times that our Business License Research Report will turn up limited results, but this will give you peace of mind knowing that you are covered before opening your doors.
Once I have obtained the business license, am I all set?
Sometimes, you are. Few licensing agencies offer a one-time license. Most often, you must renew your business license annually or biennially. Our team can assist with your ongoing license compliance.
