CorpNet.com CEO Nellie Akalp Clears Up Business License Confusion on Fox Business Feature
Westlake Village, CA (PRWEB) October 24, 2013 -- CorpNet.com, a leading online business document filing company that helps entrepreneurs start a business and keep a business in compliance, announced that its co-founder and CEO, Nellie Akalp, was recently interviewed on FOX Business. Akalp helped answer the common question among new business owners, “Do I need a business license?”
“There’s so much confusion out there among entrepreneurs when it comes to getting a business license,” said Akalp. “Are they actually looking to set up a business structure or apply for the right to operate the business?”
According to Akalp, there are two key steps for new business owners to legally get their ducks in a row. First, they need to register the business with the state; this is accomplished when you incorporate, form an LLC, or register as a DBA/sole proprietorship. This step creates a legal entity in the state and gives the business a foundation.
Akalp explained that “many times when an entrepreneur asks “Do I need a business license?”, they actually are looking to register their business.”
After creating a legal entity, a business next needs to apply for the right to operate by getting any necessary business licenses or permits. Specific permits will vary based on location and business type; for example, a restaurant or tattoo parlor will need more permits than a copywriter. A new business should go to their local board of equalization (first state, then county/city) to determine what they need.
Through CorpNet, Nellie and her husband Philip Akalp have empowered thousands of entrepreneurs to start their own business.
