Starting a business in Los Angeles

If you are starting a business in los angeles, you will need a business license and a fictitious business name. Also, keep in mind, if you will hire any help, you'll need a fed id and a state employer tax id. Selling taxable items? If so you will need a seller's permit.

How to Start a Business

To start a business, you will need a service or product to sell, a business plan, the equipement ( for example, chairs and tables for a restaurant). You will also need licenses and tax ids, mentioned elsewhere in this blog.

Hold the Coffee, I need a business license

Do you remember what you had to go through to get yours? starting my own business was probably the best choice I have ever made in my life, and also getting rid of my mullet, but thats another story. Well, I took my idea of starting my own business and ran with it. I had this addiction for coffee. I couldn't help it, I LOVE THAT STUFF! that's right, Starbuck's everymorning religiously at 6:00 a.m. right before I go to work. I was too into those little flavorful blackbeans that I decided to open my own Coffee shop. I had the vision already and the best part is is that I CAN DRINK AS MUCH COFFEE AS I WANT! YEAH! S0 I got the planners for the store, the space, and the ambition, but..... I overlooked one little detail. The right LICENSE. The store was nearly finished, the coffee was ready to be brewed, and I was running out of patience. I wanted to start right away, but I couldn't the legalities should have been dealt with first. This was a very upsetting time for me and I didnt even know where to start to, what to do, where to go to? and all I'll been waiting for this whole time was my free coffee.


Many seconds, minutes, hours, days, WEEKS! were spent on calling and calling people for advice and still no foot could fit my shoe. I came home one day all depressed with NO COFFEE the entire day running through my system clicked on my pc and started to google. I checked this website out and surely but shortly I finally started to smell those dark beans brewing. I didnt even know you needed an actual business license to start a business! these guys at bizpermit.com What a relief! The advice, the right documents, attention, and care is what I got out from doing business with these guys. 100% LEGIT!. My coffee shop has been running for several years now and couldn't have been handled any better than with these guys. Take my advice, coming for somebody who was basically going to quit drinking coffee because of all the stress I had to go through to get the shop running and now back to loving them again because of their great service. They have all the answers to your business questions and doesn't even take that long to get the right permits. Now I am going to enjoy my Grande Mocha supreme. The website again is www.bizpermit.com
