Permits / Licenses - Most city, county and state governments require business owners to obtain business licenses and permits. In some instances, the federal government may also require you to secure special licenses or permits, depending on your kind of business.

Business Name - Business names can be trademarked. Finding the right business name is no longer an easy task. As more and more businesses are created, short and descriptive names may be difficult to come by without risking infringing on another businesses copyright or trademark.
