In New Jersey, there is not one general business license that will need to be obtained. There are many different types of business licenses that are specific to the business service or activity, and this is just at the local level. Additionally, there are over 200 professions that are monitored at a state level that also require an issuance of a business license. At the same time, or even before you apply for a business license, you will also need to register your business with the state. The only business entities that are not required to register are sole proprietorships and general partnerships, if you are uncertain what your business entity is, consult with the state. Business license applications normally ask for details like business specifics , property information and personal information. Be prepared to pay fees to the city or town where your business will hail from. For more assistance with getting your business license, visit our New Jersey Business License page.
