You can contact the California Bar association.\n\nhttp://members.calbar.ca.gov/search/member.aspx\n\n\nhttp://www.calbar.ca.gov/state/calbar/calbar_home.jsp\n\n\nIf you know the county, search for that and look them up there.\nhttp://www.ocbar.org/ Orange County\nhttp://www.lacba.org/ Los Angeles County\nhttp://www.sbcba.org/ San Bernadino County\nhttp://www.acbanet.org/ Alameda County\nhttp://www.sfvba.org/ San Fernando Bar Assoc

Because of the number of unscrupulous contractors that, sadly, do exist out there, CA requires licensing of individuals that hire themselves out as contractors. \n\nYou need to contact the Contractors' State Licensing Board for testing and minimum requirements to qualify.\n\nCities and counties also have requirements for people who wish to run a business, mostly for taxation purposes, but also to control who can operate under a ficticious name. (In other words, if your name is Bob Smith, you need to register a Ficticious Name Statement to advertise yourself as "A-1 Plumbing", or some such. Heck, you even need to do that if you're going to call yourself "Bob Smith Plumbing".)\n\nIf the laws seem stupid (as hinted by the other answerer), remember that these laws are often created because of substandard work done by fly-by-night businesses. One bad apple, in this case, does spoil the whole bunch.

I suggest you first learn more about the coffee shop business and understand its ins and outs. Business license is just an easy step to do, but you have to have all the ingredients to make a coffee shop successful.

Every state's Bar Association has a web site. On it, you can type in the attorney's name, and you will be shown background information such as when & where s/he passed the bar exam, where they are licensed to practice law, and if they are a member (of the Bar Association) in "good standing" (which basically means they pay their annual dues and haven't had any lawsuits filed against them). Or you could, as another post suggested, simply call their office and ask the secretary.

Contact your local county office and check the process of getting the distributor's license you are interested in.\n\nOr go to your Secretary of State website (they often have a section on how to start a business) and search for the information on distributor's license

There are no instructions available. I however just filled one out. Here is what I did:\nTop left  states ATTORNEY OR PARTY WITHOUT ATTORNEY. If you do not have an attorney, write your name and full address, telephone number, fax(if any), Email(if you want) and where ATTORNEY FOR is write In Pro Per. Which means you are your own attorney \nPEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA (or where ever) V.DEFENDENT (state your name).\nCASE NUMBER: Your court case number.\nDEFENDENT'S INFORMATION: CII(This is the Criminal Identification Information) which is on your Criminal History record printout which you should have received when arrested. Also called a SID/CII #.\nDRIVER'S LICENSE/SSN#(social security number)/DATE OF BIRTH are obvious.\nPETITION:\nQuestion 1: Date(the date found guilty, not the date arrested). SECTION: section number accused of. CODE: example(Penal Code/Vehicle Code, ETC.).\nQuestion 2: Misdemeanor or felony. Your court paperwork should state which one it is.\nQuestion 3 and 4: depends on what action was taken against you(probation, no probation, or jail).\nEXECUTED ON: Write the date you filed this form\nCITY: city in which you filed\nDEFENDENT: Sign it\nADDRESS: Your current address, city, state and zip code.

dba stands for "doing business as".\n\nIf you are doing business under a name other than your own, you must file a dba so people know who they're really doing business with if they wish to find out.  If not, you don't.  For instance, if your name is Joe Smith and your business name is "Joe Smith Enterprises", no dba is required.  If you're doing business as "VGA Construction", yes you do need to file a dba.\n\nWhether or not you have to obtain a license or permit depends on the service you are performing.  I suggest you find out the government agency that regulates the business/service you conduct and they can tell you what is required as far as California's requirements.\n\nYes, all government requirements should be accomplished before providing your services to the public..  If not, you could be in a lot of trouble.\n\nAs a self-employed person, you will have to pay FICA either on your wages or earnings.  How much will be subject to FICA will be determined by the business form you choose and how you manage the cash flow. There are many business form choices, such as sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability company, limited partnership, C corporation, S corporation, etc.  All have differing tax rules and you have no flexibility in some, a lot in others.  Just because there may be only one person in your business, it doesn't automatically follow that your formation should be as sole-proprietorship.  In fact, that's the worst possible form in the case of a one person company if you wish to protect your personal assets from possible business lawsuits in the future.\n\nI would suggest you go to the Nolo.com website for books on business formation.  Some of their books are general in nature but others are specific to California.  I am not a California resident (I live in Texas) but I have a bachelor's degree in business.  Plus I've done my own additional research for my own business pursuits.  Anything you need to verify on the subjects you asked about can be checked at the California Secretary of State's website or the IRS' website or in one of the business books sold at Nolo.com.\n\nGood luck!

Go to your county courthouse and ask (a) if a license is required for your type of business as some occupations do not require a license; and (b) what do you need to get a license. You did not specify your business so we cannot really provide you with any other detail.\n\nOnline, you can go to your Secretary of State website (search for [name of your state] Secretary of State) and look for the link on how to do business in the state. Usually that page will contain info or link to instructions on how to get a business license.

You may need to contact your city or county government for their requirements for business licensing.\n\nYou may also need to register yourself as a business in your city, county or state.\n\nWhile "Mark Bertrand"s information was helpful to you, this answer is in violation of YA's Community Guidelines for solicitation.

Finding a government agency you have to deal with for any given permit or license can be hard. Start by calling the city hall or county seat. Ask the operator if she knows where to go. If no help there, go to one of the agency that oversees businesses. \n\nAnother option, look for the Better Business Bureau.\n\nAlso look to see if there is a SCORE or any agency of retired business men who help new businesses get started.

Depends on which State you live in.  Check out your States' official government web site.  They should have a section on Business Licenses and Permits, and that should tell you what you need to know.
