<p>1) What&#8217;s your business structure? Are you a sole proprietor, corporation, LLC or legal partnership? Your choice will affect the permits and paperwork you are legally required to fulfill. Sole proprietorships are the easiest to manage.</p>
<p>2) Get a state sales tax permit. Visit your state&#8217;s website (usually the taxation and revenue area) to obtain any license referrals and forms. Many states have a section for &#8220;starting your business in &#8230;.&#8221;.</p>
<p>3) Contact your city and county jurisdictions to determine are the licensing requirements. Typically, your county will require a business permit issued at your county court house. (Business licenses have an annual fee.)</p>
