Frequently asked questions
Is it mandatory?
In most states, yes — typically within 30 days of commencement. A few states now exempt very small establishments (e.g. under 10–20 employees). We confirm for your state.
Which state’s law applies?
The state where your premises are located. Multi-state businesses register separately in each state.
Do home-based or online businesses need it?
Often yes if you have a commercial address or employees. We assess your specific case first.
