One Stop Business Registration & Licensing


Introduction

 

Welcome to the State of Delaware´s One Stop Business Registration and Licensing System. Here, you will be able to  register your business with the Division of Revenue, the  Division of Unemployment Insurance and the  Office of Workers Compensation. You can also link to the Division of Corporations to access incorporation forms and reserve a legal entity. Lastly, by linking to and registering with the Internal Revenue Service, you  will be able to receive your Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN). If your registration with the Division of Revenue includes obtaining a Delaware business license, a temporary license will be produced upon the successful completion of this online registration. Effective 9/16/2008 the license fee for most retailers includes a fee of $15.00 for each location to fund the prosecution of retail crime. The Division of Unemployment Insurance will review your registration and mail a letter of liability determination and if applicable, a registration poster.

Before you begin the registration process you will need a credit card to purchase your business license, your Workers Compensation Insurance Policy, the number of employees and their payroll for the last five years if applicable. Motor vehicle dealers and non-resident contractors may be required to supply a surety bond. Please select Prerequisites here or on the left under Information for a complete list if the items that you will need.

In addition to registering at One Stop, you will need to ensure compliance with local zoning laws, the Division of Professional Regulations, the Departments of Agriculture, Health, Natural Resources & Environmental Control, State and Transportation  as necessary. Please select Workers´ Compensation here for recent changes to the Workers’ Compensation statute affecting the construction industry.

If you need help during registration, instructions are located on the right. Also, please note your Session ID. This number will be necessary in case you are unable to complete the registration process.

To proceed, please select New Registration here or on the left under Services.
