By Contractors For Contractors!   City Business Licensing Once you have decided where you will be setting up your office you will need to obtain a city business license for that location. In some cities, before your application for a city business license is approved, you will also be required to have a fire inspector inspect your business location. If you rent your home and you plan on running your business from your home, you may be required to get a notice of consent from the owner of the property as part of your application for a city business license. In addition to having to obtain a city business license for the city your office is located in, you must also obtain a city business license for just about every city that you perform work in. Many times you will be required to list how many employees you will have on-site and then pay a fee that is based upon how many employees you will have on-site. Other times you will pay a flat fee and still other times the fee can be based upon the value of your portion of the project. If you under-estimate how many employees you will have (or the dollar amount of the project) you may be required to pay the difference to the city should the city audit you. Some general contractors will require that you send them a copy of your city business license as part of the contract. If you do not obtain these city business licenses and you are caught, not only will you be fined by the city but you can also cause problems for the general contractor with the city planning and inspection departments. Sometimes the certificate of occupancy issued by the city will be held back until all subcontractors have a city business license. Not good if you hold up the certificate of occupancy process! Not to mention the fact that your contract with your general contractor probably states in it that you are required to abide by all licensing requirements, which means you'll be in breach of your contract if you don't obtain a city business license when required.
