States regulate many aspects of business by requiring
you to obtain a professional license or special permit
in specific areas before you can open a business.
For example, if you want to start a business that
provides Child Care services, you will have to obtain a
professional license from the respective state where you
want to provide the service. If you want to open a bar
or a restaurant that serves alcohol, you will first have
to obtain a liquor license.
Professional Licensing and permit requirements differ
from state to state. Some states require
professional licensing in hundreds of areas while others
only require it in a few areas.
Starting a business without the proper professional
licensing could result in heavy fines, imprisonment and
being barred from doing business in the state.
Be
sure you know what the licensing and permit requirements
are in your state.
