Business Licenses & Permits

The State of North Carolina has no single general business license that will ensure compliance with all requirements. Some businesses may be subject to several state requirements while others may not be subject to any. There are over 700 regulatory, state issued and occupational licenses and permits. In addition, a local license may be required for your business.
