Most businesses are required to obtain a business license, even if the business is an online business operating out of someone’s home. Requirements vary by city and state, so you want to check with your local government office. You can use the Business.gov website to get information online about your city/county/state requirements.

When you start a company, the legal name of your business is required on government forms, like your applications for an employer tax ID, business licenses, permits, etc. You will also need a business name for important business tasks such as opening a bank account, signing a business contract, etc.
If you are the sole owner of a business, by default, your personal name becomes the legal name of the business. If you are doing business or selling products under a name other than your personal name, you’ll probably need to register your business name.

How do I go about obtaining a vendor’s license for an online business?
I would like to start my own online business. The government requires a license and tax registration. I was hoping someone could tell me a little bit about how much this costs, or how to go about obtaining one. Thank you.
