Suggest that you contact the city's licensing bureau or office.

If you can talk to one of the wineries and convince them to sponsor you, there's a good chance you'll be able to get a work permit. Otherwise it's pretty hard to get a work permit without immigrating or working holiday.

try getting permission from the business, if you donated a portion to charity they might let you.

Check with the state licensing department.  You might just need to get a beer and wine license.  Those are the easiest to get.  \n\nShould be the same department you use to pull permits and storefront licensing

Hello,\n\nYou need to call the city Alcohol and Tobacco Licensing Department in the area you would be licensed to do business in, first.  Here are some places you can check-out to answer your questions:

Better Business Bureau has nothing to do with licenses and permits. Start by going to the California Business Portal operated by the Secretary of State. They have a list of requirements as to how to start a business in California http://www.ss.ca.gov/business/resources.htm\n\nThen go to CalGOLD (California Government Online to Desktops). While they do not specifically issue the licenses, their database lists all the requirements for all types of businesses run in California and where you can get the necessary permit. They even give you the address and phone numbers of the agencies you have to go to for all the requirements. You will be asked what county you want to operate and their database will show results specific to that county.\n\nI did a search for the hair salon business as well as the Hair, Nail, and Skin Care Services, and CalGOLD's database shows that the following are permits you need to get:\n\n- Building and Construction Permit: Required for all new and remodeling construction, including change of occupancy.\n- Burglar Alarm Permit\n- Business License (Business Tax Certificate) Required for all entities doing business within city/county limits.\n- Fire Department Permit - Fire Protection: All businesses subject to annual inspection of facility.\n- Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit: Required by most businesses discharging wastewater to the sewer system\n- Land Use Permit: Zone change, variance,conditional use permit\n- Zoning Approval: Permitted uses, development regulations, design review, sign permit, parking regulations.\n- Business Personal Property: Property used in the operation of a business such as machinery, equipment, trade fixtures, etc. is taxable and subject to assessment.\n- Fictitious Name Filing (DBA): Required if fictitious name is used\n- Barbering and Cosmetology License: Barbers, cosmetologists, electrologists, estheticians, manicurists, barber and cosmetologists instructors, and apprentices of the aforementioned, must be licensed.\n- Corporation, Company or Partnership Filings: If you are considering becoming a corporation, (either stock or nonprofit), a limited liability company or a partnership (limited, or limited liability), you must file with the Secretary of State's Office.\n- Occupational Safety and Health Information: Businesses with employees must prepare an Injury and Illness Prevention Plan. \n- Sales & Use Permit (Seller's Permit): All businesses selling or leasing tangible property must obtain a Seller's Permit.\n\nThis is a long list of requirements (California is not known as one of the easiest states to do business in). I suggest you go to CalGOLD and check out what you need to run your business.\n\nGood luck\nIsabel Isidro\nFor information on starting a business, visit http://www.powerhomebiz.com

Ask somebody in the business.  They'll probably give you one.  Remember they want your future business.

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.

Every business needs capital.  You may want to start by  making your Business Plan  Proposal.  In there, you will put all the ingredients.. like Basic info about ur business, marketing stratergies, purchasing, structures, scopes of your business.  There are alot of things that you need to do before you see your business standing.  Once, your business plan is done, you can start approaching companies or maybe the court, regarding the permit, legal and all.  \n\nGood luck!

You'd have to check their website but Starbucks are already in some of the larger European Union countries, which means it would be difficult to keep them out of Poland if they wanted to expand there.\n\nIf the French have allowed MacDonalds to open in Paris I can't really see the Poles having a problem with Starbucks...

The only way to make money in the coffee business is to spend lots of money.\n\nI assume you have little to no cash but lots of time.\nStart small...think landscaping, tutoring, child care.\nThink of businesses that do not require a large capital invenstment and work up from there.\n\nIf you are set on owning a cafe then start by working in one.  Learn the business.  Learn everything you can.  Then start to gather your capital to open your own cafe.  Try to have enough in cash to operate your business for at least 10 months.  \n\nGood luck.

I would suggest getting help at SCORE.  These are retired executives and business owners, you can ask if they have anyone with previous pub experience in whatever country you have chosen. You can set up a face to face appointment or get help via email. And it is a free service, they are all volunteers.\n\nGood Luck
