See the licenses and permits businesses like yours need
The licenses and permits businesses like yours typically need where you are, each with the agency’s own page and a reminder before it expires. It’s information to confirm with each agency, not legal advice.
Licenses and permits lists what businesses like yours typically need, from federal down to your city, based on your address, your kind of business and what it does. Each item says who issues it, links the agency’s own page, why it may apply to you, the typical steps, how often it renews and when we last checked it against the source.
Tell us what your business does under What your business does (sells food, has employees, works from home and so on) and the list updates. Change your address and it updates too, keeping what you’ve already marked.
Got one? Use I have this and add its number and dates. Add the expiry date and it shows on Today 30 days before, and you get a notice. Not for you? Use Not for us; you can put it back any time. Something wrong with an item? Send a report and our team checks it against the agency’s page.
Items Allpage handles for you, like the terms and consent for automatic renewals, say Allpage covers this and link the setting.
We cover some places in detail and more over time. Where we don’t have your city yet, the checklist says so: check with your city and county, which often have their own permits.
Want a professional check? Order a research report from a partner. It uses one of the month’s research reports on your plan and shows on the checklist when it arrives.
Before you have a business, open Licenses and permits from your idea’s research, or ask the assistant what you’d need to open your kind of business in your city.
This is general information to help you research, not legal advice. Requirements change and vary by location, so confirm with each issuing authority. Allpage doesn’t guarantee it’s complete or that your business is compliant.
For agents
The screen is Settings › Legal and licenses (/settings?open=licenses); before a business, /licenses?place=<city, state>&kind=<kind>&does=<activities, comma-separated>. Read with compliance.status (a business) or compliance.checklist (no business; a public read that works before signing in and saves nothing). Change with compliance.refresh, compliance.markDone, compliance.markNotApplicable, compliance.reopen, compliance.report and compliance.orderResearch. The compliance.licenses skill walks through it.
