Federal Licensing
Most new small businesses will not require any type of federal licensing to conduct business, unless you will be engaged in one of the following activities:

 

  • Rendering investment advice
  • Making alcohol products
  • Making tobacco products
  • Preparing meat products
  • Making or dealing in firearms
You would need a Federal permits also to start large operations such as a television station, radio station, common carrier, or producer of drugs or biological products. The aforementioned businesses are all heavily governmentally regulated. For information on federal licensing for these types of businesses, contact:
