Why,in some countries,do they require all business activities to be licensed?

Three Reasons:\n1) So the government can make sure that it can collect taxes from you.\n2) So the government can regulate your business.\n3) Reduce competition for established firms.

Yes. CPA licenses are issued by each state, although there is a uniform (national) exam. You should check the Board of Accountancy for your state to find the specific requirements.

actually you do not have to be licensed in each state.  and it actually differs from city to city.  for example i live in fairfield/suisun.  they are so close they are practically the same city.  however you have to be nationally certified to work as a massage therapist in fairfield, but all you have to do to work as a massage therapist in suisun is go down to city hall and buy a business license.

It does not appear that a business license is required to become a notary per se, but if you are planning to have a storefront notarizing firm, it may be advantageous or required.\n\nIf you check with your local Chamber of Commerce, they could probably better advise you on any local details (Use & Occupancy issues) as well.\n\nHope this helps!

Depends on where you live. In the US, you usually need to pay to register your business with the state and get a business ID number. In some areas, you will also need to purchase permission from the city and/or county.

No, as far as laws are concerned, you're free to do business anywhere in the US with your TX-registered LLC. Interstate commerce laws do not require business presence in a certain state. You've probably  bought things from Amazon, even though they're a WA-based company.

No. However, state and local laws may require this of businesses of any kind (usually depending on size). These are rare but increasingly popular and will vary by state. If there is a distinction made between for-profits and non-profits, non-profits are generally given more leniency.

In the US I took small business classes and also property management classes through my local community college.\n\nI don't know the education system in your country.  I think your biggest thing would be a system of taking credit cards, advertising, and making sure your business is allowed by local law.

Lets use examples.  Say you want to start a restaurant, but don't have the money to do it yourself.  You would buy a franchise, and the company you get the franchise from builds it and you run it, using their name, paying a portion of the profits until it's paid for, and then you own the business, then you can change the name because it's yours.\nNow for licensing.\nWhen you buy software, you are really only licensing it.  You will never really own it.

Because they have offices, sales, and production in more than one country.\n\nWhy not?  Doesn't the company make more money that way?

Its not technical knowledge you need to know or worry about...\nI can't say about licenses as I don't know which country you are in.\nBut from my guess you should at least have some sort of trading license (in my country I need trading, import export license to start)\n\nto solve this.. find a CA and talk to him about this.. he'll do it for small fee(license your business etc).\n\nif you want to create a site here are some fast recommendations for you (note I don't make any money by these recommendations I am doing it because I use them)\n\nfor domains name use http://namecheap.com they are the BEST, best customer service etc\nfor hosting http://hostgator.com again they have the best customer service around.\n\nif you don't know html to build site.. find a 15 yr olds and get them to make it for you... anyone of them can make it in an hour(its that easy)\n\nYou need to understand the basics of online marketing(you don't need to be expert at everything).\n1. advertising online\n2. how to sell using online sales copy \n3. how to track your results

There is no licensing requirement, and many learn the skills while on the job. If you're new to the field, look into some courses at a local community college.

You only register your business in your country of residence where the actual business activities take place. Web is global, and there is no requirement for any merchant to register their business in every place that they are able to get visitors. You only register where you pay your taxes. \n\nSo don't worry on this aspect. I've been doing business on the Web since the late 1990s and I never have to register in other countries.

It depends on the state in which you want to do business.  Try looking up your state attorney general's website, they should have links to state statutes and regulations for an alcohol license.  Another think that you have to look at are your town and county laws as well.  Sometimes they can be more strict than the state laws.\n\nRich

No business license is necessary.  If you're a sole proprietor you simply complete Schedule C, and perhaps Schedule SE as well.\n\ngood luck
