Do I Need A Business License For An Online Business?

Do I need a business license for online store?

  • Answer:

    Assuming you are in the U.S. no you usually do not need a business license. If you're from another country, I cannot answer that, as I have no experience with other countries. I've owned a number of online stores over the last 20 years, first in Maryland, now PA. Neither state requires a license. Think of a license as usually applying to businesses that have special requirements and that the government needs (or thinks it needs) to regulate, such as real estate licenses, banking licenses, etc. Thank being said, it's best to check with your state department of labor and licensing to make sure. You never know when some state somewhere might have a requirement that I'm not aware. A quick look online or phone call should give you the correct answer. Tony
