What is a business permit

Two things I got asked: what is a business permit and how do I get one.

The answer to the first one's simple. A business permit is a little piece of paper that tells people that you're doing business legally and don't have a drug den in the back. It also tells the government that you're going to send them tax money every year.

If you don't have one you're going to get charged a ton in back taxes and maybe ruin your credit rating and loans. So get one.


The second thing is not so simple. How to get one is different in EVERY SINGLE CITY IN AMERICA. What happens when you want to get one for... say... Loving County, Texas? How do you figure out who to call when your city has 60 people?

Easiest thing to do is to go to fbnusa.com. By far.
