The purpose of a business license is to claim the right to own and operate a business. In contrast, business permits are a type of licensure devoted to a certain aspect of public safety.
An LLC provides liability protection by ensuring that the owners personal assets are separate from the businesss financial obligations. Meanwhile, a business license does not offer liability protection but ensures compliance with the requirements to operate legally.
A business license is a permit that allows a company to operate legally within a specific jurisdiction. This license is mandatory for all enterprises and ensures compliance with local regulations. Conversely, an LLC is a legal business structure that provides liability protection and potential tax benefits.
Professional or state licenses: A state-level license or professional certification (e.g., contractors license, health permit for a food business) can take two to six weeks or longer, depending on the license type and whether additional inspections or approvals are required.
A business license and an LLC serve different purposes and are not mutually exclusive. If you own and operate a business, you generally need to obtain a business license in order to comply with local regulations.
