Business Licensing Plays a Big Role in Determining the Country’s most Business-Friendly States

A two-month survey conducted by Thumbtack.com, in partnership with the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation has shown up some remarkable facts. Small business owners across the nation have concurred that what ranks as most important to them when opening a new business, is the ease of obtaining state and local business licenses.

While low costs in paying taxes are important to every business owner, interestingly enough, easy to file business licenses are more important. As reported on Thumbtack.com, “Small businesses said licensing requirements were nearly twice as important as tax rates in determining their state or city government's overall business-friendliness.”

This highlights the difficulties many business owners face when trying to license their business. Oftentimes business owners find themselves jumping from website to website in between endless phone calls to government offices in an attempt to obtain the right licenses that would legalize their business. This is especially difficult for business owners of regulated businesses who aren’t sure of what type of food licenses, daycare licenses or contractor licenses are necessary for the opening of their new venture.

Since business owners can face large penalties and fines for opening their business without obtaining the necessary licenses and permits, it is imperative for small businesses as well as large corporations, to outsource their licensing needs to a competent licensing agency such as Business Licenses, LLC. Business Licenses’ Outsourced Business License Management Service allows businesses to outsource business license filing, maintenance and renewal for all their required business licenses & permits with every licensing authority in the U.S. Business owners can then rest assured that all the necessary licenses and permits will be obtained with the least amount of effort on their end.
