How much is the application fee for a business license?
Each jurisdiction sets its own application fee and has its own requirements and forms. In some cases, the application fee is a fixed amount, regardless of the type of business. Quite commonly, the business license application fee (and subsequent annual business license fees or taxes) are based on gross sales of the business. Fees may be a specified amount within a certain range of sales or be a percentage of all sales. Different rates are often applied depending on whether the revenue is generated by sales or products or services.
