Starting a Business Requires that you get a business license. This can be done at the state, city or county level and it depends on factors such as gross business income, number of employees, and location or type of business you are operating.
Here is the list of licenses you need to start your business:
Here are the license needed to start a business anywhere in the United States.

2. Tax Id Number
Employers must obtain a federal tax id number (EIN) and a state tax id number (EIN). How to Get a Tax Id Number Corporations, and LLCs must obtain a federal tax id number (EIN).
3. Those that buy or sell wholesale, need a wholesale license. Also, those that want to buy wholesale ( without paying any taxes) and sell retail, need a wholesale license also called a seller's permit or reseller's license. Note that it is also called a state tax id.
4. DBA: If you use a business name that does not include your last name, you need a dba. Also, even if you use your last name, if you use anything such as "& associates" you need a dba filing.

Do you know how to get a business license?
Yes. To get a business license you need to find the issuing agency, find the correct business license form application, fill it out, find out what fees or taxes are involved, and then go in person to file it at the appropriate agency. Here is a company that can do it for you. http://www.bizpermit.com
hey i hope this company can help you as they helped me to start my home based business i have a sellers a business license and a federal tax id just go to fbnusa.com and they can help you with that with out any hassle
Have you ever thought about starting your own small business? A lot of people these days are getting into the act of creating a secure financial opportunity that will allow them to work from home or outside the home, depending on what sort of service/product they provide.
A small business or a home based business is, as I have stated, a secure financial opportunity. What really helps is when you do what you like, whether it is a hobby or a profession. Retires go into consulting, graphic designers (most that I know) enjoy the comfort of working from home. Deciding what you want to do is easy and you don't need a specialist to tell you what it is you like doing.
However, finding out everything you need to kick start your business can be a chore and let's face it, it can also be time consuming and confusing. There are a lot of start up company owners that have turned to expert legal resources to get their business off the ground. Permits and licensing is required for most cities, county and state municipalities. Depending on the type of business you are conducting, you will need the proper forms to fill out to legalize your business. Not legalizing your trade can lead to substantial fines on all government levels, so you want to make sure that you file the correct paperwork so you don't run into any costly legal hassles later on.
Most people come to me asking advice on simple matters such as obtaining a business license, state tax id, state seller's permit, DBA's, or filing for federal employee tax. And believe me all the people who have come to me were pretty darn frustrated. There are zoning laws to consider in some instances. Fire Department regulations, and so on! The legal requirements can sometimes be stifling and confusing.
So if you're starting your own business here's a very inexpensive way to get your business going.
You can visit various places on the web that are designed to help you take the work and worry out of filing for just about any thing you need to get going.
One of the places I would highly recommend would be www.BusinessNameUsa.com/business-license.htm
