Do I need a business License?

Question

I own a business. Its a small business. I don't have an actual office. I run the business off of my computer basically. I have an P.O. Box where I ship everything out of. We sell clothing online, 100% of our sales come from our site.

My question is do I need a business license because I have no brick and mortar store. My business is virtual. I have an EIN, so do I need a business license? I am located in georgia by the way...

Thanks guys!

Answer 1

As long as you do not have clients walking in and out of your home you do not need a business license.  

Answer 2

No matter what municipality (city,town,etc.), you need a license.

each city, will have their requirements online or at their Administration building. If you are in an unincoorporated area such as, out of the city but still in the County. You need to see your County Tax Assesor or the office designated by your County.

Answer 3

Technically it is operated out of your home. It depends on your state and city laws. Do a google search on what the rules are in your area.
