Operational Business License

Next to the general business establishment license, for most businesses, a specific operational license is needed.

Examples are that a fishing business will also need to have a fishing license and hotels, bars and restaurants need an operational license from the governor to open to the public.

These operational licenses are very industry-specific, and each have different processes and requirements. For a restaurant license, for example, you will need to complete an operational license request form and will have to undergo various inspections from the public health and fire department, before being able to open to the public. A background check can also be part of the procedure.

As we continue to collaborate with various departments in phase 2 of our website development, we are excited to announce that more information and online forms will be available at the beginning of 2025.
