How do business licenses work?

Business licenses are documents issued by a government body or other authorized organization that authorize an individual or business to operate a company in a particular area. They are generally specific to the type of business and the location, and often require an application and fee in order to be issued. Business licenses are important for businesses to ensure that they are compliant with local, state and federal laws, as well as providing proof of authorization to conduct business activities.
