New Jersey (NJ) business licenses are not easy to understand, let alone obtain. Business Licenses, LLC cuts through the clutter and helps business owners understand their NJ business license requirements.

April 23, 2020 Update: Needless to say, the Coronavirus has dramatically affected economic conditions in New Jersey and every other state too. Nevertheless, business owners are still filing for licenses and permits, authorities are still requiring them, and Business Licenses, LLC is still assisting customers with Business License Compliance Packages for New Jersey. Business Licenses, LLC’s partners are indeed sponsoring free BLCPs for many qualifying business owners.

December 10, 2020 Update: New Jersey business licenses are often processed by the NJ Division of Consumer Affairs. Veteran business license professionals know that this is a strong signal that the state will be wary of issuing business licenses and permits for heavily regulated activities without extensive requirements – background checks, fingerprints, etc.

It can get worse. Some specific industries require additional hurdles to get a business license in New Jersey. Consider food permits, essential documents for any restaurant, bar, or café. In The Garden Sate, these business licenses are not issued on the state level at all. They are issued on the local level. This creates a problem for aspiring restaurant owners, since there is no central hub for information on how to achieve compliance. Research is definitely in order.
