HOW LICENSING WORKS
- Step 1 Ensure that the business is fully registered and holds a valid business registration certificate. This is checked when applying for a business license.
Step 2 Applicant applies for license(s). Applicant picks licenses from the list of licenses that pertain to their business specifically.
Step 3 Application is checked to ensure the license(s) matches the business. Reviewer ensures the correct licenses are being applied for.
Step 4 If the application is "approved", the applicant must "pay" the required fees. The process is similar to registration to paying for registration located at City Hall. The required amount is determined by which license(s) the applicant applies for.
Step 5 Reviewer must update the business licenses under the business registration. A public viewable index of businesses would be displayed so owners can review how long until their license expires.
Step 6 Licensing Officials for the Business Licensing Bureau will conduct business inspections to ensure they are registered and licensed based on government records. Each license displays potential violations and the consequences of committing offences. If the business commits repeat or severe violations, the business may be subject to seizure and termination. The business owner will not be eligible to own, register, or license a new business for four months. If the business operates in a commercial capacity without licensing, the property will be reported to be "lockdown".
Step 7 Business owners must ensure the business is registered and licensed correctly with The Business Licensing Bureau and avoid committing violations. Any business placed in lockdown must be registered and licensed before the "lockdown" is lifted, allowing for reopening. Businesses in "Lock Down" can be sold but can't be operated or will be in violation of State Government Regulations that will result in the seizure of the business assets, business termination, and the business owner will not be able to own, register, or license a new business for four months.
EXTRA NOTES
- If you are unsure of which licenses your business requires or need assistance with licensing questions, please contact the Business Licensing Official correlating to the timing of your question. The Business Licensing Bureau Interns can provide information but do not approve licenses.
