Over 627,000 new businesses are formed in the U.S. each year according to estimates from the U.S. Small Business Administration, and many of them need to secure licenses and permits. The exact licenses and permits required for your business depends upon its location and the industry in which it operates. Below is a list of common business licenses and permits.
