Business Basics: Business License Compliance Package

We decided to do something a bit different with our weekly business basics post this time around, and instead look at a new service we’ve just started offering – business license compliance packages. We’ve covered business licenses before, but we thought it’d be a good idea to revisit the topic and explain why we decided to start offering this service to our customers. Our team kicked around the idea for awhile, trying to figure out whether or not there was any demand for this type of service, and we realized that there were three questions we’d have to be able to answer before launching.

Why offer business license compliance packages?

MyCorporation has always aimed to meet all of the needs of new business owners. The next logical step after creating your business is to apply for all of the licenses you need to legally open your doors. Without the right licensing, you’re effectively dead in the water. So expanding our offerings to include licensing just makes sense.

Why should I have MyCorporation file for my business licensing?

Licensing is notoriously complicated – not only do licensing laws vary by state, they vary by county and city. Forget about one form and your new business could get hit with some serious fees. We have over 15 years of experience helping new small business owners comply with the law, and MyCorp has worked with over 35,000 different cities and municipalities. We know the ins and outs of dealing with local bureaucracy, and we can quickly figure out what licenses your business requires. That means that you don’t have to spend hours digging through websites and downloading PDF files you may not even need.

What comes in a Business License Compliance Package (BLCP)™?

Everything you need to comply with the laws set by your local, state, and federal government. Every business is different, so each order has to be custom tailored for the person ordering it. All you have to do is fill out a simple questionnaire and from those answers we’ll be able to compile an overview of the licenses, permits, and registrations your business needs. We’ll also send you the contact information for the licensing authorities, let you know how much each license will cost, and send you copies of the actual applications and associated documents.
