Business Licensing Services

Business licensing. Complex and confusing? Or, under control? The choice is yours. Every business has licensing requirements. Licenses, registrations, and permits differ by jurisdiction and business. Knowing where to file and what to submit takes time and effort. You can spend hours researching the licensing process, calling federal, state, and county offices, and still have questions. CT Corporation eliminates the uncertainty. We know licensing requirements by geographic location and by industry. From research to complete audits to filings, CT keeps you in full license compliance, steering you clear of fines, lawsuits, and bad PR.

Research
We make sure you always know exactly what licenses your business needs, and how and with whom to file. We begin by researching your licensing compliance requirements based on your company's activities and locations. Then CT provides a customized report with:

  • An overview of required licenses, permits, and tax registration
  • Licensing authority contact information (name, address, phone number, etc.)
  • Detailed information on the cost of each application and where to send it
  • All required forms, licenses, permits, tax registration applications, and information about associated documents

Filing
CT streamlines the business licensing process from start to finish. Processing license and permit applications. Eliminating payment headaches. And freeing you to re-allocate resources. Whether you request single projects or a complete outsourced engagement, CT Corporation will:

  • Determine application requirements
  • Prepare your applications
  • Cut checks (on your behalf) to the respective filing agency
  • File documents
  • Verify the acceptance of license applications
  • Obtain and return filing evidence and certificates, as available
  • Coordinate with you to resolve potential issues or rejections by the filing authority

Analysis
The best way to ensure business license compliance is with a License Gap Analysis. For existing businesses, a license audit is periodically necessary in order to ensure compliance is being maintained amidst changing government regulations. When merging with or acquiring a company this analysis provides a clear and invaluable picture of licensing status.

Stage 1: License Identification
CT prepares a custom spreadsheet report of required licenses.

Stage 2: Gap Analysis
You review your CT research report, indicating what, if any, required licenses you've already obtained.

Stage 3: Status Verification
CT verifies the status of your company's licenses–including license numbers, due dates, and other key information–and updates your research report.
