Does anyone know how many licenses I need to open a business in NC? Am I required to have a city, county and state license if I have already found a rental space? I live in a small town and the City Hall here doesn't like the idea of new businesses coming in- is this something that could potentially stop me from moving forward with my business idea?

What kind of business you are opening? You will, I'm sure, need a privledge license and depending on what type of business, most likely more.

There are many types of licenses, both state and local as well as professional. Depending on what you do and where you plan to operate, your business may be required to have various state and/or municipal licenses, certificates or permits.

Licenses are typically administered by a variety of state and departments. Consult your state or local government for assistance.

I'm not sure where you're located, but this page offers some great links - all in one place - for women business owners, entrepreneurs and those just starting out. Good luck! I'm still trying to find my "niche."
