 Posted on March 13, 2018 in DuPage County Business Law Attorney

Starting a small business can be a massive undertaking. Nuanced steps and countless legal requirements, such as ensuring you have the correct licensing and permits for your business, can also make the process a little confusing. Thankfully, you do not have to go through the process alone. Learn more in the following sections, including how an experienced attorney can help you set your business up for success, both now and long into the future.

Licensing and Permits for Small Businesses

Most businesses require a license or permit. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to determine what type of license or permit you might need. Everything from the services and products you offer to the entity and location of your business can impact the licensing or permit you might need. To complicate matters even further, some companies will need to register with the federal government to obtain a tax permit to ensure they are complying with the imposed tax withholdings and unemployment insurance requirements. Failure to obtain the correct licensing and permits can have dire consequences, both for your business and for you, as an individual. In some cases, it could even result in criminal charges. Do not take chances. Instead, ensure you have experienced assistance, every step of the way.

How an Experienced DuPage County Business Law Attorney Can Help

Although an attorney is not required for obtaining licenses and permits for a small business, it is highly recommended that small business owners obtain legal assistance during the process. Not only does this reduce the risk of a missed or overlooked license or permit, but it can also simplify other aspects of the start-up phase of one's business. For example, an attorney can help you examine the pros and cons of different business entities to help you determine which may be most appropriate for your current needs and situation.
