If you have incorporated a business in Michigan or planning to form a small business in the state then it’s time to apply for a business license. In order to operate your business in Michigan, business licenses, permits, and other professional licenses have to be obtained. Absence of license or permit to operate a specific business can lead to heavy penalties and in some cases, closure of the business.
There are several types of businesses that require a permit or business license in Michigan to become operational and at the same time, not all businesses require licenses issued by the state. There are certain licenses or permits that are handled at the city, county, or town level. The information regarding various types of license or permits issued in Michigan is available at the State Licensing Division of the Michigan Government.
Where and how do you apply for a Michigan company license? Are permits required for my business entity? Does the business entity require a single license or multiple permits or licenses? Who is the issuing authority for these licenses or permits? The only way to answer these questions is by understanding the process of business licensing.
Here is a step-by-step approach towards acquiring a business license in the state of Michigan.
How would you know what type of business or professional license is required to operate in Michigan? The type of industry or the activities of a business entity helps in identifying the type of business license required.
There is a long list of permits or licenses issued mostly by the state of Michigan but some of the important categories according to industry segmentation are:
These are some of the categories for which statewide licenses are issued. Click here to check other licenses and permits issued by Michigan State.
If your business or industry type doesn’t fall under a statewide license then you will have to check with the local city or county office. A business license in Michigan can also be issued by local counties or cities in which the business is located.
Let’s take a look at an example to understand this better.
If you establish a business, which is an Amusement Park in the City of Detroit that has 5 devices (games) or more then the Michigan company license will be issued by City of Detroit, Business License Center.
The fee for the license or permit is $690. If you were to establish a carnival within the premises then you would be required to pay an additional fee of $58 and if there is an outdoor circus then the fee would be an extra $400.
There is a single application that covers all categories of licenses in the City of Detroit. You can check the fee and download application to get an insight into the process.
