Q: What is a Business License and how do I know if I need one?
A. A Business License is the means whereby the City or County in which you wish to conduct business grants you permission to engage in the business for which your license will be issued. If you commence, carry on or engage in any business, either permanently or temporarily, within the limits of the city or county, you are required to maintain a valid unexpired business license. If you provide a service or sell any products within the county or city, you are required to obtain a business license. If you operate in one location within the city or county, yet provide services to customers in surrounding cities and or county, then you must be licensed in each municipality. If your business is based outside of the state or vicinity, and you provide products or services to customers within the city or county, you must obtain a business license.
Q: Are Business Licenses hard to get?
A: Not really. However, doing business in Nevada is different than in many other states. There are applications for State Business Licenses, Tax Permits, Unemployment Permits, City Business Licenses, Privileged Business Licenses, County Business Licenses and the like.
