What is a Business License Application?
The Business License Application is a simplified application used to apply for many state licenses, registrations, and permits, and some city licenses. You may use it to: • Apply for a Washington State Unified Business Identifier (UBI) number or tax registration number. • Open or reopen a business. • Change ownership of a business. • Open a new business location. • Change business locations. • Register or change a trade name. • Hire employees. • Get a Minor Work Permit. • Add licenses to an existing business location. • Get optional insurance coverage for the business owner. • Hire people to work in or around your home. The Unified Business Identifier Number (UBI) can be used to identify your business account with many different agencies.
