Although Wisconsin legislators actively promote entrepreneurship and the opening of new businesses in their state, it is still difficult in some cases to obtain a business license. According to members of Madison's city council, a business wanting to sell alcohol in Madison can face a mountain of issues related to obtaining a business license due to hypothetical scenarios involving intoxicated individuals.

In addition to registering with the Department of Revenue, individuals seeking to get a business license will also have to determine what kind of business entity they plan to operate (e.g., nonprofit, sole proprietorship, or LLC), register with the Department of Financial Institutions, and file multiple documents with the IRS. If your business is going to sell alcohol and/or cigarettes, you'll have to apply for a vendor's license. Several different licenses, such as Class A and Class B liquor licenses, exist to cover your legal ability to sell liquor products.
